Abstract:BACKGROUND: Pulmonary aspiration of vegetable matter may be a serious cause of lung damage, requiring, almost always, the help of a histopathologic examination. CASE: We report the case of a 55-year-old woman with a granulomatous pneumonitis due to repeated pulmonary aspiration of vegetable particles and affected by a syringomyelia. Histologic findings from a lobectomy section are shown and compared with those observed in different cytologic sputum samples. CONCLUSION: The recognition of uncommon morphologic structures, and their comparison with others already known, both in histologic sections and in cellular smears, may be useful when it comes to establishing a sure diagnosis.
