Hypersensitivity pneumonia is clinically suspected and can be characterized on computed tomography by its pattern of diffuse lung disease, in children, as in adults. However, identifying the diagnosis is not always as simple. We report an organizing pneumonia pattern of hypersensitivity pneumonia that can be seen in adult patients, but has not been reported in the pediatric population.
