Desquamative interstitial pneumonia, abbreviated DIP, is a diffuse lung disease that is strongly associated with smoking.
General
- Uncommon.
- Strong association with smoking.[1][2]
- Thought to be advanced RBILD.
- May be seen in non-smokers (up to ~40% of cases) due to occupational exposures, drugs, viral illnesses and autoimmune diseases.[3]
Treatment:
- Stop smoking/remove or manage underlying cause.
Microscopic
Features:
- Abundant brown pigmented airspace macrophages - smoker's macrophages - key feature.
- Architecture preserved; "linear fibrosis".
Notes:
- Some fields of view may be indistinguishable from RBILD.
DDx:
Images
Stains
- Macrophages PAS +ve.
