Pulmonology Flashcards
Disease?
Asthma
smooth muscle hypertrophy, mucus gland proliferation, prominent basement membrane (black arrows)
Disease
Asthma
accumulation of mucus in lumen of bronchus (yellow star), smooth muscle hypertrophy (black arrow)
squamous metaplasia in center area of epithelium
squamous metaplasia of entire epithelium
goblet cell hyperplasia
centriacinar/centrilobar emphysema (most common, associated with smoking)
panacinar emphysema (associated with alpha-1 anti-trypsin genetic insufficiency)
centriacinar/centrilobar emphysema (most common, associated with smoking)
panacinar emphysema (associated with alpha-1 anti-trypsin genetic insufficiency)
Disease?
emphysema (alveolar changes)
Disease?
chronic bronchitis (increased Reid index, >0.5)
Disease?
chronic bronchitis (bronchus shows wall thickened by chronic inflammation)
Disease?
chronic bronchitis (marked goblet cell hyperplasia)
hyperinflated lungs in patient with emphysema
increased lung markings in patient with chronic bronchitis
Disease?
bronchiectasis
Disease?
bronchiectasis (arrows show dilated bronchi)
Disease?
bronchiectasis (dilation of bronchiole with a chronic inflammatory infiltrate in the lumen)
Organism?
C. diphtheriae (gram positive rods)
Organism?
S. pneumoniae (gram positive diplococci)
Organism
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (gram negative rod; pyrocyanin/pyoverdin = conspicuous blue-green pigment)
Pathology?
dense consolidation of lower lobe
Pathology?
prominent vascular congestion of alveolar capillaries
Pathology?
pulmonary edema: alveolar walls contain congested capillaries, plasma from the blood has moved into alveolar spaces
Pathology?
red hepatization: lungs are heavy, red, and airless
Pathology?
red hepatization: acute inflammatory cells and blood
Pathology?
gray hepatization: gray-brown, dry surface
Pathology?
gray hepatization micro: exudates of deteriorating WBC, fibrin, and RBC contracts, yielding clear zone adjacent to alveolar walls
Pathology?
organizing pneumonia: virulent organism damaged basement membrane, leading to repair reaction - fibroblasts move in and secrete collagen
Pathology?
organizing pneumonia (trichrome stain)
Pathology?
bronchopneumonia (granular consolidation, often adjacent to major airways; pale-colored, firm nodules)
Pathology?
bronchopneumonia micro (alveoli filled with edema fluid, extravasated RBC, bacteria, PMN, some alveolar macrophages)
Pathology?
aspiration pneumonia (foreign material inside of foreign body giant cells and surrounding inflammatory cells)
Viral pneumonia manifestation?
bronchiolitis (peribronchiolar collections of lymphocytes, epithelial damage and sloughing, squamous metaplasia, mucus plugging of bronchioles)
Viral pneumonia manifestation?
interstitial pneumonia (lymphocytes and plasma cells within alveolar walls and around small airways; hyaline membranes may be present)
Viral pneumonia manifestation
pneumonia associated with viral inclusions (CMV)
Distribution of what fungi?
Histoplasma capsulatum (histoplasmosis); endemic in Ohio and Mississippi River valleys; growth in soil enhanced high in nitrogen content (bat and bird droppings)
Distribution of what fungi?
Coccidioides immitis (coccidiomycosis); endemic to San Juaquin Valley, southwest US, Mexico, and parts of Central and South America
Distribution of what fungi?
Blastomyces dermatitidis (blastomycosis); endemic east of Mississippi River
Carcinoma precursor lesion type?
Atypical adenomatous hyperplasia
subtle thickening of an area of lung parenchyma and some hyperplasia of the glandular epithelium
Carcinoma precursor lesion type?
Adenocarcinoma in situ
proliferation and tufting of glandular epithelium that also shows cellular atypia, but doesn’t invade into alveolar wall
can become invasive Adenocarcinoma
Carcinoma precursor lesion type?
Squamous dysplasia and carcinoma in situ
can become invasive squamous cell carcinoma
Pathology?
squamous metaplasia
Carcinoma type?
squamous cell carcinoma
usually centrally located (coming from bronchus)
Carcinoma type?
squamous cell carcinoma
keratinization (squamous pears or individual cells with eosinophilic, dense cytoplasm)
Carcinoma type?
adenocarcinoma
Carcinoma type?
adenocarcinoma (acinar subtype)
Carcinoma type?
adenocarcinoma (lepidic subtype)
Carcinoma type?
small cell carcinoma (very little cytoplasm = blue appearance
Tumor type?
carcinoid tumor (grows shows lesion covered in intact mucosa [might present with breathing obstruction/wheezing], micro shows carcinoid islands)
Tumor type?
hamartoma (coin lesion); prominent cartilage and connective tissue with respiratory epithelium
Tumor type?
malignant mesothelioma
organizing pneumonia
Disease?
pulmonary fibrosis
Disease?
usual interstitial pneumonia
Disease?
interstitial pulmonary fibrosis/ usual interstitial pneumonia
Disease?
non-specific interstitial pneumonia
Disease?
acute interstitial pneumonia (Hamman-Rich Syndrome); alveolar walls are lined with waxy hyaline membranes
Disease?
desquamative interstitial pneumonia (accumulation of large numbers of macrophages within alveolar spaces and only mild fibrous thickening of the alveolar walls)
Disease?
respiratory bronchiolitis-associated interstitial lung disease (RB-ILD)
Disease?
pulmonary Langerhans histiocytosis
Disease?
pulmonary eosinophilia
Disease?
pulmonary alveolar proteinosis
