Diffuse Parenchymal Lung Disease Flashcards
Interstitial lung disease is often times, called __________.
Diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD)
Diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD) all have involvement of _________ on histopathology.
Distal lung parenchyma
How can we classify Diffuse Parenchymal Lung Diseases on histopathology?
- 1. Inflammation and fibrosis
- 2. Granulomatous changes
What histopathologic patterns have interstitial involvement?
- UIP (usual interstitial pneumonitis)
- NSIP (Nonspecific interstitial pneumonitis)
- BOOP (bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia)/ COP (cryptogenic organizing pneumonia)
What histological pattern is seen with UIP?
Heterogenous involement of lung with different stages of progression of fibrosis.
Usual interstitial pneumonitis is associated with several diseases or exposures including what?
- pneumoconioses
- radiation injury
- end-stage hypersensitivity pneumonitis
- advanced sarcoid
If no underlying process is ID’d, UIP is instead diagnosed as what?
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
- What pattern is seen in non-specific intersitial pneumonitis (NSIP) on histo?
- CT?
- Assx with what diseases?
- Uniform involement of lung parenchyma, with cellular infiltartion or fibrosis.
- Ground glass infiltrates
- Autoimmune CT disorders
What pattern is seen in BOOP/COP on histo?
CT?
Assx with what diseases?
- Small airway bronchiolitis with granulomas + organizing pneumonia
_________ granulomas are typical for sarcoidosis.
________ granulomas are typical for hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
- well-formed non-caseating
- loosely formed granulomas
How are DLPD’s diagnosed?
Thorough hx, PE, lab and imaging studies, open lung biopsy.
What symptoms raise the possibility of DPLD?
- Progressive dyspnea, over months
- Reduced excercise tolerance
- Persistant dry cough
- Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis most often occurs in patients ______.
-
Interstitial lung disease assx with … occurs in patients ________
- CT disease
- Sarcoidosis
- Lymphangioleimyomatosis
- LCH
- Over 50 YO.
- 20-40 YO
What DPLDs occurs most in females?
Lymphangioleimyomatosis
What DPLDs are most associated with smoking?
- 1. RB-ILD
- 2. Desquamative intersitial pneumonia
- 3. Langerhan cell histiocytosis
If patient has exposure history to birds, hay, mold or other organic material, what DPLDs should we consider?
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis
