Pulmo Part 2 Flashcards
Hallmark of CILD (restrictive, infiltrative)
Reduced compliance (more pressure required to expand lungs bec they are stiff) necessitating effort in breathing (dyspnea)
Unknown etiology
Patchy progressive bilateral interstitial fibrosis resulting in hypoxemia and cyanosis
Histology: usual intersitial pneumonia
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis
Endogenous inhibitor of pulmonary fibrosis
Caveolin-1
Downregulated by TGFB1
Cobblestones of pleural surface bec of retraction scars along interlobular septa
Patchy interstitial fibrosis
Fibroblastic foci
Temporal homogeneity (early and late lesion)
Honeycomb fibrosis
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Dense fibrosis causing collapse of alveolar wall and cystic spaces lined by hyperplastic type II pneumocytes or bronchiolar epithelium
Honeycomb fibrosis
Dry velcro like crackles on inspiration
Cyanosis, cor pulmonale
Peripheral edema
Lung biopsy for diagnosis
Mean survival 3 years
Tx: lung transplant
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Mild to mod chronic interstitial inflamm in uniform or patchy distribution
Nonspecific interstitial pneumonia cellular
Best prognosis
Diffuse patchy intersitial fibrosis without temporal homogeneity of UIP
Nonspecific intersitial pneumonia fibrosing
BOOP Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia
subpleural or perobronchial patchy areas of air space consolidation
Polypoid plugs of loose CT
Lung architecture normal
Tx: steroid 6 mos
Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia
Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia histologic hallmark
Balls of fibroblast in alveolar space
Masson body
Restrictive lung diseases with reduced lung compliance and reduced FVC
Ratio of FEV/FVC = normal
Diffuse interstitial fibrosis
Unifying pathogenic factor of DIF
mac activation and TGFB release (fibrogenic)
Patchy intersitial fibrosis, fibroblastic foci, cystic space formation honeycomb lung and Usual Interstitial Pneumonia
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Non neoplastic lung reaction to mineral dust
Pneumoconiosis
Particles 5-10 um are
Particles 0.5 less are
unable to reach distal airway
move into and out of alveoli without deposition
Most dangerous bec they get lodged at the bifurcation of distal airway
1–5 um
Key cellular element in initiation and perpetuation of lung injury and fibrosis
alveolar macrophage
Smoking worsens effects of inhaled mineral dusts especially
asbestos
Most common mineral dust pneumoconioses
coal
dust
silica
Coal worker’s pneumoconiosis:
Macule and nodule
Coal mining
Complicated coal worker’s pneumoconiosis
PMF
Sandblast quarrying mining stone cutting foundry work, ceramics
Silicosis
Pleural effusion, pleural plaque, diffuse fibrosis, mesothelioma, carcinoma of lung and larynx
Mining, milling, fabrication of ores and materials, installation and removal of insulation
Asbestos
Pigment accum without perceptible cellular reaction
Anthracosis
Most inoccuous coal induced pulmo lesion in coal miner and smoker
Carbon engulfed mac accumulating in CT along lymphatics
Pulmonary anthracosis
Dust laden mac
small amounts of collagen fibers arrayed in delicate network
Frequent in upper lobes
Centrilobular emphysema
Coal macule
Coal nodule
Simple CWP
Coalescence of coal nodule
Multiple intense blackened scar larger than 2cm
Dense collagen and pigment
Complicated CWP
Progressive massive fibrosis
Pulmonary dysfunction
Pulmonary hypertension
Cor pulmonale
Progressive massive fibrosis
Most prevalent chronic occupational disease worldwide
Silicosis
Most implicated in silicosis
Less fibrosis if mixed with other minerals
quartz
Tiny barely palpable discrete pale-to-blackened nodules in upper zones of lungs
Concentrically arranged hyalinized collagen fibers surrounding amorphous center
Whorled appearance, weakly birefringent silica at the center sometimes with egg shell calcification in LN
Silicotic nodule
Silicosis is associated with inc susceptibility to
tuberculosis and
lung cancer
inhibited ability of mac to kill phagocystosed bacteria
Asbestos fiber is curly and flexible
Most common and impacted at upper respiratory passage
Serpentine
Chrysotile
Asbestos fiber is straight, stiff and brittle
More pathogenic bec can lodge deep to interstitium
Amphibole
asbestos can produce
asbestosis
lung ca
mesothelioma
Important to synergy between smoking and lung ca in asbestos
adsorption of carcinogen in tobacco smoke onto asbestos
Golden brown fusiform rod with transluscent center
Asbestos fiber coated with iron material
Asbestos bodies
Most common manif of asbestos exposure
Well circumscribed plaque of dense collagen containing calcium on parietal pleura
Pleural plaque
Asbestosis begins
in lower lobes and subpleura
Asbestos exposure is linked with
1 parenchymal intersitial fibrosis 2 plaques/diffuse pleural fibrosis 3 pleural effusion 4 lung cancer 5 malignant pleural mesothelioma 6 laryngeal cancer
