The medical lung diseases are a huge topic. Most pathologists have little to do with 'em. They are the domain of respirology. An introduction to lung pathology is in the lung article, along with a general approach. Interstitial lung disease is dealt with in the diffuse lung diseases article.
Infectious pneumonia
Includes:
Asthma
- Cytopathology: Asthma in pulmonary cytopathology
General
- The bread and butter of respirology.
- May be associated with atopy (allergies), medications (e.g. NSAIDs), occupational exposures.[1]
Pathogenesis
- T-cell response TH2 dominant.
Sequence:[2]
- Antigen TH2 lymphocyte -> IgE B-cell -> mast cell IgE Fc -> leukotrienes + other mediators -> bronchospasm, edema, leukocyte recruitment -> airway remodeling.
Gross
- Lung over-inflation.
- Mucous plugs.
- Focal resorption atelectasis,[3] i.e. collapse.
Microscopic
Features:[4]
- Edema.
- Mucous (plugs).
- +/-Smooth muscle hypertrophy.
- +/-Inflammation - especially with eosinophils.
- +/-Charcot-Leyden crystals (formed from eosinophil granules -- breakdown product).
- Sharp edge, diamond shaped, intense pink.
Images:
- www:
- WC:
Notes:
- Leyden in Charcot-Leyden is also seen written as Leiden.
- Finding associated with hypereosinophilia[5] - not pathognomonic for asthma.
- Pulmonary cytopathology:

BRONCHIAL CAST, RIGHT LOWER LOBE, REMOVAL: - CHARCOT-LEYDEN CRYSTALS. - CELLULAR DEBRIS WITH NEUTROPHILS AND ABUNDANT EOSINOPHILS. - RESPIRATORY MUCOSA. - NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY. COMMENT: GMS and PAS-D stains were negative for fungal organisms. The findings are compatible with the history of asthma.
Emphysema
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, abbreviated COPD, redirects here.
General
- Usually due to smoking.
- Often lumped together with chronic bronchitis and called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).[8]
Causes of emphysema other than smoking:[9]
Pathologic classification
Based on morphology:[10]
- Centriacinar (centrilobular) emphysema - associated with heavy smoking.
- Panacinar (panlobular) emphysema - associated with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.
- Distal (paraseptal) acinar emphysema - associated with spontaneous pneumothorax.
- Irregular emphysema - usu. insignificant.
- Q. Why does smoking lead to centriacinar emphysema?
- A. The bad stuff from smoking gets enters the acinus at the centre; ergo, this is the location of the most damage.
Gross
- Holes (blebs, bullae), usually upper lung field predominant.
- Lungs may overlap the heart.[11]
Notes:
Microscopic
Features:[11]
- Large alveoli.
- Thin septa (no interstitial thickening).
Image:
Chronic bronchitis
General
- Often seen together with emphysema with which it is lumped together with in the term COPD.
- It's a clinical diagnosis - criteria:[1]
- Cough with sputum for thee months in at least two consecutive years.
- No other cause identified.
Clinical:[1]
- Blue bloater (carbon dioxide retainers)
- Develop cor pulmonale.
Microscopic
Features:[1]
- Mucous gland hypertrophy + mucinous secretions in airway.
- Goblet cell metaplasia.

General
- Not the same as (idiopathic) bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) - in short:
- BOOP: clogs the airway, has Masson bodies, treated with steroids - good prognosis.
- Constrictive bronchiolitis: fibrosis around airways, crappy prognosis.
- No good treatment.
