Abstract
Chronic Eosinophilic Pneumonia (CEP) is an idiopathic disorder characterized by an abnormal marked accumulation of eosinophils in the interstitial and alveolar spaces of the lung. CEP is typically suspected in a patient with progressive dyspnoea over one to four months and a chest radiograph showing bilateral peripheral or pleural-based opacities. Dominant extrapulmonary manifestations in CEP are rare. We report a 44-year-old Iranian woman with progressive dyspnea, peripheral chest opacity, and cardiac involvement. A diagnosis of CPE was considered base on clinical and para clinical criteria.
