We here describe the case of a patient with a history of exposure to esparto grass for two and a half years, who presented with clinical symptoms, radiological signs, pulmonary function test and histological findings consistent with the diagnosis of hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Signs and symptoms reappeared after re‐exposure. There are few reports of stipatosis in the world literature.
