ILD Flashcards
Path buzzword: UIP
Lymphoplasmacytic inflammation with fibroblastic foci and honeycomb change
–Temporal heterogeneity (juxtaposition of fibrosis and normal lung)
Path buzzword: LIP
Dense accumulation or “sheets” of lymphocytes and plasma cells within interstitium and alveolar spaces
Path buzzword: RBILD
accumulation of pigmented macrophages within respiratory bronchioles and alveolar ducts with bronchiolcentric distribution
-No significant fibrosis, interstitial inflammation, germinal centers
Path buzzword: DIP
Similar to RBILD but with alveolar spaces uniformly filled of pigmented macrophages. Homogeneous filling with preserved alveolar architecture and minimal fibrosis.
Features consistent with UIP
- Basal and subpleural predominant
- Reticular opac (with traction supportive of fibrosis)
- Honeycombing
- Absences of Inconsistent Features
Inconsistent with UIP
- GGO (outside areas of fibrosis)
- Mosaicism/air trapping
- Nodules- centrilobular, perilymphatic
- Parahilar, peribronchovascular
- Upper lobe distribution
- Peripheral fibrosis with minimal honeycombing, subpleural sparing
- lower lobe distribution, not subpleural
Mutation leading to PAM
SLC34A2; autosomal recessive
Type IIb sodium-phosphate cotransporter
PAP associated with Ab against
GM-CSF
Genetic pulmonary fibrosis:
hTERT and hTR are AD
Pathologic hallmark of NSIP
cellular infiltrate with temporal uniformity
BAL lymphocytosis >20%
RB-ILD pathology
Pigmented alveolar macrophages in and around respiratory bronchioles and surrounding alveoli
DIP pathology
alveolar spaces uniformly filled with pigment-laden macrophages. Homogenous with preserved alveolar architecture and minimal fibrosis or honeycombing.
LIP Pathology
interstitial and bronchovascular infiltrate of lymphocytes and plasma cells. Can have poorly formed granulomas and multinuc giant cells
PLCH: diagnosis
-IHC
BAL with >5% CD1a positive cells
-IHC with CD1a and S-100
PLCH: pathology
bronchiolocentric stellate lesions with central scar; intracellular inclusions (Birbeck granules) on EM, extensive Eos in early phase
LAM: pathology
hamartomatous proliferation of atypical smooth muscles along lymphatics in lung, thorax, abdomen/pelvis
LAM: Cell expression
HMB-45; CD-63 on
1. myofibroblast-like spindle-shaped cells 2. epithelioid-like polygonal cells
-just spindle-shaped cells: muscle alpha-actin, vimentin, desmin (on )
BAL Findings in IIP:
1. NSIP
BAL with >20% lymphs (overlap with HP and drug-induced)
BAL Findings in IIP:
COP
Charac mixed pattern: lymphocytes (20-40%), neutrophil (10%), and Eos (5%) with some plasma/mast cells
-CD4/CD8 is decreased
BAL Findings in IIP:
PLCH
> 5% CD1a-positive cells
BAL Findings in IIP:
AEP
> 25% Eos, normal periph Eos
-Tbbx with marked eosinophilic infiltration of alveoli and interstitium
BAL Findings in IIP:
CEP
> 25% Eos
-Tbbx whos eosinophilic microabscesses, low grade vasculitis, and interstitial fibrosis
Nintedanib
- Mech
- Side effects
TK receptor blockers- mediate fibrogenic growth factors (PDGF, VEGF, FGF)
Diarrhea and LFT derangements, CytP3A4
Pirfenidone
- Mech
- Side effects
- Antifibrotic agent, inhibits TGF-b stimulated collagen synthesis, block fibro last proliferation
- nausea, rash
Mutations leading to IPF
hTERT, hTR, Muc 5B
HRCT RB-ILD vs DIP
- RBILD: fine centrilobular nodules, bilat patch GGOs upper and lower lung zones.
- DIP peripheral GGO, in lower lung zones, possible cyst/emphysema, no honeycombing
