A 67-year-old male diagnosed clinically as having rheumatoid pleuritis and bronchiolitis was treated with adrenocorticosteroid. His clinical findings improved, but following the tapering of the steroid dose, exacerbation occurred. After the steroid dose was increased, serological findings improved, but chest X-ray findings revealed no improvement. To re-evaluate the etiology of the bronchiolar lesion, open lung biopsy was performed. The biopsy specimen showed lymphocytic infiltration and formation of lymphoid follicles in and around the bronchioles. The pulmonary lesion was diagnosed as follicular bronchiolitis.
