A case of acute pneumonitis, becoming a chronic fibrosing process, is described in a patient with esophagectasis secondary to cardiospasm (achalasia of the cardia). A few acid fast bacilli were found in the sputum during the early months of the illness. The x-ray presented certain features which may enable this condition to be recognized roentgenologically as well as clinically.
