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.

This article includes a discussion about pulmonary hypertension, which may arise due to congenital heart disease.

Acute infectious pneumonia

This is seen by pathologists in autopsy from time-to-time.

Radiologic correlate

  • Air space disease.

Gross pathology

  • Consolidation (the lung parenchyma is firm) - best appreciated by running a finger over the cut surface from normal region to abnormal region.

Microscopy

Features:

  • Alveoli packed with PMNs.
  • +/-Clusters of bacteria - small dots or rods.

Image: Normal alveoli & pneumonia (WC).

Asthma

General

  • The bread and butter of respirology.
  • Associated with atopy.
  • Mast cells thought to play an important role.

Microscopic

Features:[1]

  • Edema.
  • Mucous.
  • +/-Smooth muscle hypertrophy.
  • +/-Inflammation - especially with eosinophils.
  • +/-Charcot-Leyden crystals (formed from eosinophilic granules).
    • Sharp edge, diamond shaped, intense pink.

Images:

Notes:

  • Leyden in Charcot-Leyden is also seen written as Leiden.

Emphysema

General

  • Usually due to smoking.
  • May be associated with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.

Gross

  • Holes, usually upper lung field predominant.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Large alveoli.
  • No interstitial thickening.

Image: Emphysema (WC).

Pulmonary edema

General

  • Seen in a number of conditions, e.g. congestive heart failure.

Microscopic

Features:[2]

  • Dilated capillaries.
  • Blood in airspace.
  • Plasma proteins in airspace - light pink acellular junk.
  • +/-Hemosiderin-laden macrophages (heart failure cells).

Organizing pneumonia

General

  • Multiple causes, e.g. transplant rejection, infection.

Clinical diagnoses:

  • Transplant rejection.
  • Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP).
    • AKA bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP).

Microscopic

Features:[3]

  • Distal airway disease -- airways plugged with organizing exudate.
    • "Organized exudate" = fluffy light-staining paucicellular regions with stellate cells (fibroblasts?).

Obliterative broncholitis

General

  • AKA bronchiolitis obliterans.
  • Not the same as Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP).

Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia

  • Often abbreviated IIP, is a term used for a type of diffuse lung disease.
    • Diffuse lung disease is also known as interstitial lung disease.
      • Diffuse lung disease is probably a better term... as some diseases lumped into this category have involvement of the alveoli, i.e. are not interstitial.

Histologic classification of IIP

Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia can be subclassified based on histologic appearance into the following patterns:[7][8]

Histology Clinical Correlates Associations
Desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP) DIP Smoking
Diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) ARDS, AIP, TRALI ARDS: trauma, infection; TRALI: blood transfusion; AIP: ???
Nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) NSIP ???
Respiratory bronchiolitis RB-ILD Smoking
Usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) CVD, IPF, drug toxicity, pneumoconiosis Allergen (hypersensitivity pneumonitis), idiopathic, autoimmune
Organizing pneumonia Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia autoimmune (???)
Lymphoid interstitial pneumonia (LIP) LIP Viral/autoimmune

ARDS = adult respiratory distress syndrome, AIP = acute interstitial pneumonia, TRALI = transfusion related acute lung injury, CVD = collagen vascular disease, IPF = idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.


Notes:

  • Usual interstitial pneumonia is the most common type of ILD.[9]

Fibrosis

Histomorphological classification

  1. Hyaline membranes - glassy pink material lining airways & alveoli.
  2. Microscopic honeycombing - "holes" in the lung.
  3. Bronchiolization - ciliated (respiratory) epithelium in distal airway.
  4. Uniform alveolar septal thickening - septae look similar at low power.
  5. Peripheral lobular fibrosis - septae thickening peripheral, HRCT shows: irregular peripheral reticular opacities.[10]
    • Reticular = net-like.[11]
  6. Siderophages in alveoli - macrophages with hemosiderin the alveoli.
  7. Fibrinous pleuritis - peripheral only (based on imaging).
  8. Granulomata, non-necrotizing.
  9. Abundance of vacuolated cells.
  10. Chronic inflammation.
  11. Bronchiolocentric scarring - fibrosis concentrated around airway/assoc. with airway.

Radiologic/gross pathologic DDx by location

Causes of lower lung fibrosis BAD RASH:[12]

  • Brochiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia (BOOP).
  • Asbestosis.
  • Drugs (nitrofurantoin, hydralazine, isoniazid (INH), amiodarone).
  • Rheumatologic disease.
  • Aspiration.
  • Scleroderma.
  • Hamman-Rich syndrome (really should be -- interstital pulmonary fibrosis).

Causes of upper lung fibrosis FASSTEN:[13]

  • Farmer's lung.
  • Ankylosing spondylitis.
  • Sarcoidosis.
  • Silicosis.
  • Tuberculosis (miliary).
  • Eosinophilic granuloma.
  • Neurofibromatosis.

Prognosis

  • The pattern and severity of fibrosis seems to be the most important factors prognostically - more important than the underlying cause (ILD, CVD, drug reaction etc.).[14][15]

Patterns of fibrosis:

  • "Linear" - follows alveolar walls, no architectural distortion.
  • UIP-like (honeycombing).

Disease with fibrosis

There are many of 'em.

Diffuse alveolar damage

General

  • Abbreviated DAD.

DAD is the histologic correlate of:

  • Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
  • Acute interstitial pneumonia (AIP).
  • Transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI).

Microscopic

Features:[16]

  • Early:
    • Hyaline membrane: debris (pink crap) lines the alveolar spaces.
  • Intermediate:
    • Macrophage proliferation.
  • Late:
    • Interstitial inflammation.
    • Fibrosis.

Image: Diffuse alveolar damage (WC).

Usual interstitial pneumonia

General

  • It is sometimes used incorrectly as a synoym for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
  • Cannot be diagnosed via bronchoscopic or transbronchial biopsy.[17]

Epidemiology

  • Disease of the old - rare in under 50 years old.[18]
  • Dismal prognosis - mean survival after diagnosis ~ 2.8 years.[14]

Differential diagnosis

UIP is seen in:[19]

  • Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
  • Asbestosis - one ought to see ferruginous bodies.
  • Chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (extrinsic allergic alveolitis).
  • Collagen vascular disease.
  • Chronic drug toxicity.[20]

Radiologic

  • Honeycombing - multiple defects that obliterate the normal lung architecture - multiple spherical voids in the lung parenchyma; radiologically these are seen as lucencies.[21]
    • Usually subplural, i.e. peripheral lung.
    • Classically lower lobe predominant.
    • Associated with interstitial thickening. (???)

Note:

  • Cysts - have thin walls (think of emphysema, lymphangioleiomyomatosis et cetera).
    • Cysts may be isolated/not close to a neighbour.
    • Medcyclopaedia defines it as: thin-walled, well-demarcated and >1 cm.[22]

Histology

Features:[23]

  • Fibroblast foci:
    • "Crescent-shaped bulge" of fibroblasts -- a rounded projection of spindle cells into the airspace.
    • Location: in the areas of transisition between active inflammation and old inflammation.[24]
    • Note: Technically, fibroblast foci are composed of myofibroblasts.[25]
  • Interstitial inflammation,
  • Microscopic honeycombing,
    • Typically peripheral - cysts lined by ciliated epithelium.
  • Spatial heterogeneity - patchy lesional distribution (areas of abnormal and normal lung may appear beside one another).
  • Temporal heterogeneity - lesions of differing age side-by-side.[26]

Notes:

  • Disease worse distant from large airways: lower lung field predominance, typically worse at periphery of lobule and lung.[27]
  • Heterogeneity of inflammation: airspace macrophages & inflammation minimal in honeycombed foci.

Asbestosis

General

  • Important to diagnose... asbestosis = compensation.

Microscopic

  • Histologic appearance as for UIP -- plus ferruginous bodies.
    • Segmented twirling batton with long slender fibre within.

      • Linear fibrosis = fibrosis that follows alveolar walls + no architectural distortion.
  • +/-Lymphoid nodules - assoc. with collagen vascular disease.

Notes:

  • Like UIP... also temporally and spatially heterogeneous.
  • Inflammation in NSIP usually more prominent than in UIP.
  • No honeycombing - key difference between UIP and NSIP.
