Giant Cell Interstitial Pneumonia Attributed to Vaping in 49 YO Woman (IMAGE)
Caption
Axial CT image shows relatively symmetric ground-glass opacity and perilobular opacities involving all lobes, findings that can be seen in GIP. Subsequent surgical lung biopsy results were consistent with GIP. When asked about exposures, patient said that she had begun vaping tetrahydrocannabinol mixture around time that her symptoms started. She had no other occupational exposures to heavy metals, and her vape pen was found to have traces of cobalt on subsequent analysis.
