    Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP) is a distinct histopathologic entity characterized by Masson bodies which are intraalveolar buds of granulation tissue; consisting of connective tissue and myofibroblasts.

Treatment with corticosteroids results in a rapid clinical and imaging improvement but unfortunately relapses are common upon decreasing the dose or stopping the treatment. This case report describes a typical case of COP with the characteristic Improvement with corticosteroid therapy and relapse upon treatment taper.
