Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, abbreviated PAP, in an uncommon medical lung disease.
General
- Associated with smoking - particularily in men.[1]
Pathophysiology:
- GM-CSF (granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor) signaling in macrophages/lack of GM-CSF.
- GM-CSF is required by alveolar macrophages to clear surfactant.
Classification:[1]
- Congenital:
- Abnormal surfactant.
- GM-CSF receptor defect.
- Secondary:
- Infections.
- Haematologic malignancy.
- Acquired:
- Dusts - interfere with macrophage function.
Clinical:
Radiology
- CXR: airspace disease.
- HRCT: "crazy paving" - see: http://radiographics.rsnajnls.org/cgi/content/figsonly/23/6/1509.
Microscopic
Features:
- Crap in the alveoli:
- "Dense bodies" - dead macrophages ("Chatter" in the alveoli).
- Edema - has pink stuff in the alveoli like PAP but no dense bodies.
DDx - may mimic:[4]
- Pulmonary edema.
- Pneumocystis pneumonia - exudates foamy & vacuolated.
- Pulmonary hemorrhage (acute). (???)
