Diffuse Lung Disease Flashcards
Smooth interlobular septal thickening
Acute: - Cardiogenic edema - Hemorrhage (ground glass opacity) - Viral pneumonia (centrilobular nodule) Chronic: - Lymphangitic carcinomatosis - Amyloid - Lymphoma
Acute interstitial pneumonia (ARDS)
- Diffuse, bilateral ggo with sparing of periphery due to alveolar damage
- Trauma, high altitude, shock, drugs, neurological disease
Reverse halo sign
- Bilateral ggo and nodules internally with surrounding solid appearing ring
- Organizing pneumonia
- Fungal (paracoccidiomycosis)
- Vasculitis (Churg-Strauss, Wegener’s)
- Lymphoma
Chronic consolidation
- Organizing pneumonia - occurs in response to lung injury
- Eosinophilic pneumonia - upper lung predilection
- Atypical infection (fungal pneumonia)
- Sequestration
- Adenocarcinoma spectrum
- Lymphoma
Crazy paving
- Mid-lower lung predilection of ggo and smooth interlobular septal thickening
- Alveolar proteinosis (accumulation of lipoprotein material in alveolar space)
- Drug or hypersensitivity reactions
- Non-cardiogenic edema
- Pneumocystis infection
- Other: hemorrhage, atypical infections, lipoid PNA, ARDS, BAC
Lipoid Pneumonia
- multiple fat density nodules/masses with Crazy paving (ggo and septal thickening)
- Hamartoma
High density airspace opacities (80-175 HU)
- Amiodarone deposition
- Amyloidosis
- Metastatic pulmonary calcifications
- Talcosis
Calcified and enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes bilaterally with multiple nodules in an upper and middle lobe predominance
- Sarcoidosis
- Silicosis
- Coal-worker pneumoconiosis
- Lymphangitic carcinomatosis
Tiny ggo centrilobular nodules
- Respiratory bronchiolitis (RB) - smokers disease
- RB-ILD - smokers disease
- Subacute hypersensitivity pneumonitis - non-smoker disease
- Viral pneumonia
Innumerable, randomly distributed micronodules in upper and lower lungs bilaterally
- Miliary infection (TB, histoplasmosis, fungus)
- Hematogenous mets
- Sarcoidosis
Honeycombing
- Usual Interstitial Pneumonia (UIP)/IPF
- honeycombing
- septal thickening
- architectural distortion
- traction bronchiectasis
- basal predominance - Asbestosis (pleural plaques)
- RA (arthritis)
- Chronic hypersensitivity
Upper lung honeycombing and fibrosis
- End-stage sarcoidosis
- Silicosis
- Scarring from prior infection
Reticulation (interlobular and intralobular septal thickening)
- Nonspecific Interstitial Fibrosis (NSIP)
- reticulation
- architectural distortion
- traction bronchiectasis
- basilar predominance - Collagen vascular disease (scleroderma, poly/dermatomyositis)
- Drugs
- Hypersensitivity pneumonitis
Fibrosis with ggo
- Desquamative interstitial pneumonitis (DIP)
- diffuse, patchy ggo
- architectural distortion
- septal thickening - uncommon
- basilar predominance
- Organizing pneumonia
- NSIP
- Connective tissue disorders
- RB-ILD
Pneumocystis jiroveci Pneumonia (PCP)
- upper lung predominance
- reticulonodular opacities
- pneumatocele formation
