Abstract: 
Hypersensitivity pneumonia is suspected in a suggestive clinical context and in the presence of specific exposure to an allergen. It can be characterized on chest CT by diffuse interstitial involvement. However, the diagnosis is not always so simple. We report a case of hypersensitivity pneumonia with scan pattern of organizing pneumonia.
