Pulmonary 'cyclosporinoma' mimicking infection after heart transplantation

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Tissue from a transthoracic needle biopsy, which was performed as part of the investigation of an undiagnosed left upper lobe opacity in a patient after orthotopic heart transplantation, revealed numerous macrophages loaded with oil globules. No causative organisms were present. High-pressure liquid chromatography showed a similar profile to the oil in which cyclosporine is suspended. The lesion appears to have been caused by aspiration of cyclosporine.
