Diffuse parenchymal lung disease Flashcards
Lymphocytic BAL ddx
Sarcoid, NSIP, HP, drug induced, CTD, radiation, COP, lymphoproliferative disorder
Eosinophilic predominant BAL ddx
Eos PNA, drug-induced, BM transplant, asthma, ABPA, infections, hodgkin
UIP Histology
Peripheral patchy fibrosis, Fibroblastic foci, honeycomb, +/- inflammation
UIP HRCT
Subpl/basal, reticular, traction bronchiectasis +/- honeycomb
Causes of UIP
CTDs/vasculitis, cHP, asbestosis, drugs, genetic disorders
if idiopathic =IPF
NSIP histology
Homogenous, chronic intersitital inflam/fibrosis
NSIP HRCT
GGOs/reticulations +/- subpleural sparing
Homogenous
NSIP causes
**CTDs
drugs, inhalation injury, ICH, infection
idiopathic= iNSIP
OP histology
Patchy, granulation tissue plugs
OP HCRT
Patchy consolidation/ GGOs
OP causes
CTDs/Vasculitis, drugs, infections, XRT, aspiration, eos PNA, HP, DAD
idiopathic= COP
RB-ILD/DIP Histology
Pigmented macs, bronchiolocentric or diffuse
RB-ILD/DP HRCT
Patchy to diffuse GGOs, vague nodules
Diffuse alveolar damage histology
Hyaline membranes
granulation tissue
organizing, fibroproliferative
Diffuse alveolar damage HRCT
Diffuse consolidation/ GGOs
Causes of diffuse alveolar damage
Acute time course
Infections, toxins, drugs, XRT, AE-ILD (causes of ARDS)
Idiopathic= AIP
LIP histology
Lymphoid, plasma cells
Pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis histology
Pleural/subpleural fibroelastosis, septal elastosis
Pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis HRCT
Upper/subpl fibrosis +/- pneumomed/ptx
Causes of Pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis
Chemo, stem cell transplant, recurrent infection, familial PF
NSIP
Homogenous, chronic intersitital inflam/fibrosis
diffuse insterstitial thickening
OP histology
Patchy, granulation tissue plugs
RBILD path
Pigment laden macrophages
LIP
lymphoid
Diffuse alveolar damage
**Hyaline membranes
granulation tissue
organizing, fibroproliferative
factors possibly contributing to development of IPF
Genetic - MUC5B, TERT/TERC, TOLLIP
Short elomere syndrome
Cellular senescence
Microbiome
GERD
Effect of antifibrotic for IPF
Reduces rate of FVC decline
MAY: improve QOL
Reduce rate of hospitalization and AE +/- on prolonging life
Antifibrotics for IPF
Pirfenidone
Nintedanib
Treatment of PH in ILD
Treprostinil
Indications for Nintedanib
IPF
SSc-ILD
Chronic fibrosing ILD with progression
Markers of langerhans
CD1a+ (BAL)
Langerin+ (CD207)
S100 (stain)
Mutations in langerhans
BRAF-V600E in 50% pts
HRCT in langerhans
Irregular cysts, basilar sparing
Nodules +/- cavitation, reticular opacities
