Classification and diagnostic criteria of eosinophilic lung disease are not well-established; however, peripheral ground-glass opacity is typical on chest computed tomography. Another etiology of this same radiographic finding reported in the literature is silicone embolism syndrome. Here, we present a 43-year-old female with poorly controlled severe persistent asthma presenting with difficulty breathing. Computed tomography showed peripherally dominant ground-glass opacity. Peripheral blood, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid analysis, and transbronchial biopsy did not find eosinophilia. Serial bronchoalveolar lavage of the demonstrated increasingly blood-tinged fluid. The patient required mechanical ventilation upon admission. After further questioning the patient revealed that she had frequently received injectable cosmetics at non-licensed establishments. Initially, due to past medical history, presentation, and radiographic findings, eosinophilic pneumonia was suspected. However, after a review of the patient\u2019s social history and risk factors, silicone embolisms syndrome became a likely diagnosis. The patient had good clinical response to high dose steroid therapy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2019\/9051381","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,12]],"date-time":"2019-02-12T18:33:24Z","timestamp":1549996404000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A Woman with Asthma and Peripheral Ground-Glass Opacities"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2019","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5241-3435","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Chia-Yu","family":"Chiu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Lincoln Medical Center, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"David","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Lincoln Medical Center, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aya","family":"Musa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Lincoln Medical Center, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohmed","family":"Gora","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Lincoln Medical Center, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Manmeet Kaur","family":"Gujral","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Section of pulmonary, Lincoln Medical Center, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/rg.273065051"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/AJR.16.17315"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.2112056"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1440-1843.2005.00648.x"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1513\/AnnalsATS.201606-473CC"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/nejm198303313081307"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/nejmc052625"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.127.6.2276"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00408-009-9150-x"},{"issue":"12","key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2340.e3","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajem.2018.09.022","volume":"36","year":"2018","journal-title":"The American Journal of Emergency Medicine"},{"issue":"4, article 457a","key":"11","volume":"144","year":"2013","journal-title":"Chest"},{"issue":"5","key":"12","first-page":"439","volume":"133","year":"1980","journal-title":"Western Journal of Medicine"},{"key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/ajr.176.4.1761053"},{"key":"14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/ajr.128.1.1"},{"key":"15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/ajr.167.5.8911179"},{"key":"16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaip.2017.05.002"},{"key":"17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/rct.0b013e31817ecb4e"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Pulmonology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/cripu\/2019\/9051381.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/cripu\/2019\/9051381.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/cripu\/2019\/9051381.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,12]],"date-time":"2019-02-12T18:33:26Z","timestamp":1549996406000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/cripu\/2019\/9051381\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,12]]},"references-count":17,"alternative-id":["9051381","9051381"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2019\/9051381","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-6846","2090-6854"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"2090-6846"},{"type":"electronic","value":"2090-6854"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,12]]}}}
