Constrictive_bronchiolitis is rare medical lung disease.

It is also known as bronchiolitis obliterans and obliterative broncholitis.[1] AKA bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS).[2]

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.
  • Progressive.

Etiology/associations:[1]

Microscopic

Features:[1]

  1. Bronchiolitis - mononuclear and neutrophilic.
    • May be minimal late in the disease.
  2. Fibrosis - submucosal and peribronchiolar.
    • Can be patchy.

Notes:

  • Bronchioles = noncartilagenous airways usu. < 2 mm in diameter.[1]

Images

Stains

  • Elastic trichrome - useful for delineation of obliterated bronchioles.
