Restrictive Lung Diseases Flashcards
Give 2 complications of RESTRICTIVE lung diseases
~ SECONDARY PULMONARY HPN —> Cor pulmonale
~ “HONEYCOMB LUNG”
3 common interstitial lung diseases
~ FIBROSING diseases
~ GRANULOMATOUS disease
~ SMOKING-related diseases
Histologic pattern of fibrosis: USUAL INTERSTITIAL PNEUMONIA (UIP)
Early lesion: (+) FIBSROBLASTIC FOCUS
Late lesion: (+) HONEYCOMB fibrosis
IDIOPATHIC PULMONARY FIBROSIS (IPF)
Cellular pattern:CHRONIC INFLAMMATION
Fibrosing pattern: INTERSTITIAL FIBROSIS
It has BETTER PROGNOSIS than IPF
(+) FEMALE NONSMOKERS 60 Y/O
NONSPECIFIC INTERSTITIAL PNEUMONIA
(+) MASSON BODIES
CRYPTOGENIC ORGANIZING PNEUMONIA
MASSON bodies — polypoid plugs of LOOSE ORGANIZING CONNECTIVE TISSUE within airways and alveoli
Most common indication for LUNG TRANSPLANTATION
IPF/ IDIOPATHIC PULMONARY FIBROSIS
Followed by COPD
NONNEOPLASTIC lung reaction to inhalation of MINERAL DUSTS encountered in the workplace
PNEUMOCONIOSIS
Common pathogenesis:
~ Particles phagocytized by pulmonary macrophages —> inflammation —> fibrosis
Carbon-laden macrophages
Coal MACULES (1-2 mm) — seen in SIMPLE COAL WORKERS’ PNEUMOCONIOSIS (CWP)
Carbon-laden MACROPHAGES + COLLAGEN fiber network
Coal NODULES
— seen in SIMPLE COAL WORKERS’ PNEUMOCONIOSIS (CWP)
MOST PREVALENT CHRONIC OCCUPATIONAL DISEASE
SILICOSIS
— Increased susceptibility to TB
— Increased risk of lung CA
CXR:
~ UPPER lobes
~ “EGGSHELL CALCIFICATIONS”: Lymph nodes
Morphology
~ (+) HARD COLLAGENOUS SCARS: central whorled collagen + rim of dust-laden macrophages
SILICOSIS
More PATHIGENIC form which causes Asbestos-related. Diseases
AMPHIBOLE form
Risk of BRONCHOGENIC CA > risk ofmesothelioma
CXR:
~ “IVORY WHITE” calcified supradiaphragmatic and pleural plaques
~ Recurrent pleural effusions
ASBESTOS-RELATED DISEASES
These are golden-brown, rods with translucent center consisting of ASBESTOS fibers coated with an iron-containing proteinaceous material
ASBESTOS bodies
These are other INORGANIC (Non-asbestos) particulates coated with similar IRON-protein complexes
FERRUGINOUS bodies
