Abstract
A 59-year-old male was admitted with chief complaints of a slight fever and dry cough, and was hospitalized since an image of pneumonia was observed in his chest X-ray. No effect was obtained from administration of an antibiotic or antituberculous treatment, and organizing pneumonia was diagnosed by transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) . The symptoms were alleviated once by corticosteroid hormone treatment but recurred. A diagnosis of bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) was established by an open lung biopsy. An abnormally high value of CA19-9 was observed, though the symptoms were allayed again by corticosteroid hormone treatment, and pancreatic carcinoma was diagnosed by ERCP. Well differentiated adenocarcinoma was seen in the pancreas.
