Exogenous lipoid pneumonia is an uncommon condition caused by inhalation or aspiration of a fatty substance. Authors present a rare

case of acute exogenous lipoid pneumonia in a 16-year old fire-eater who aspired fatty substance during his flame-blowing show. Diagnosis

was made on the basis of a history of oily substance exposure, clinical data and radiological findings.

Keywords: exogenous lipoid pneumonia, fire-eater´s lung, aspiration pneumonia
