Lung Pathology IV Flashcards
desquamative interstitial pneumonia
lots of smokers macrophages in alveoli
NOT desquamative
> 50yo
Male
Tx - steroids and cessation of smoking
respiratory bronchiolitis associated interstitial lung disease
pigmented macrophages in bronchioles
-peribronchiolar fibrosis
30+ pack year history
Tx - stop smoking
**not as bad as macros in alveoli
pulmonary langerhans cell histiocytosis
eosinophilic granuloma
proliferating dendritic cells
-response to smoking
Tx - stop smoking
express CD1a, S-100, CD207
CD1a
seen in pulmonary langerhans cell histiocytosis
pulmonary alveolar proteinosis
cough and gelatinous chunky sputum
bilateral, patchy CXR
accumulation of acellular surfactatnt in intra-alveolar and bronchiolar spaces
autoimmune
secondary
congenital - fatal
Tx - pulmonary lavage and GM-CSF therapy or transplant
accumulation of acellular surfactant in intraalveolar bronchiolar spaces
pulmonary alveolar proteinosis
ABC3 gene mutation
pulmonary alveolar proteinosis
pulmonary embolism
SOB, chest pain, swollen leg
saddle embolus
massive PE - death
- massive stress on right heart
- right side HF
PEA
fever, chest pain, SOB, electromechanical dissociation, sudden death
pulmonary embolism
mismatch of V/Q
pulmonary embolus
gold standard for PE
angiography
other emboli
fat - has vacuoles
amniotic fluid - blue lines
air - iatrogenic
nitrogen - divers
amniotic fluid emboli
during delivery
- can lead to DIC
- many patients die
Fen/Phen
interstitial fibrosis of lung
led to pulmonary HTN
bush tea
backyard tea
can lead to pulmonary HTN
primary pulmonary arterial HTN
80% genetic
idiopathic
mostly females 20-40yo
autosomal dominant
