The crazy-paving pattern in granulomatous mycosis fungoides: high-resolution computed tomography-pathological correlation

J Comput Assist Tomogr. 2006 Sep-Oct;30(5):843-5. doi: 10.1097/01.rct.0000214269.72180.64.

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to describe a further distinctive cause of crazy-paving pattern on thin-section computed tomography in a patient affected by pulmonary granulomatous mycosis fungoides. It was possible to reconcile the crazy-paving appearance on thin-section computed tomography scan with the histopathologic pattern termed acute fibrinous organizing pneumonia pattern.
