Usual interstitial pneumonia, abbreviated UIP, is common diffuse lung disease. Overall, it is uncommon.

General

  • It is sometimes used incorrectly as a synonym for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. It is a histomorphologic pattern and has a DDx (see below).
  • UIP cannot be diagnosed via bronchoscopic or transbronchial biopsy,[1] as it is peripheral.

Epidemiology

  • Disease of the old - rare in under 50 years old.[2]
  • Dismal prognosis - mean survival after diagnosis ~ 2.8 years.[3]

Radiology

  • Honeycombing - multiple defects that obliterate the normal lung architecture - multiple spherical voids in the lung parenchyma; radiologically these are seen as lucencies.[4]
    • Usually subplural, i.e. peripheral lung.
    • Classically lower lobe predominant.
  • Traction bronchiectasis.

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.[5]

Microscopic

Features:[6]

  • 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.[7]
    • Note: Technically, fibroblast foci are composed of myofibroblasts.[8]
  • 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.[9]

Notes:

  • Disease worse distant from large airways: lower lung field predominance, typically worse at periphery of lobule and lung.[10]
  • Heterogeneity of inflammation: airspace macrophages & inflammation minimal in honeycombed foci.

DDx of UIP:[11]

  • Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (UIP not otherwise specified).
  • Asbestosis = UIP pattern + ferruginous bodies with asbestos fibers.
  • Chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (AKA extrinsic allergic alveolitis) - classically centrilobular predominant +/- granulomas.
  • Collagen vascular disease - includes systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma.[12]
  • Chronic drug toxicity.[13]

Images

  • UIP - fibrosis - low mag. (WC)

  • UIP - honeycomb change in UIP - low mag. (WC)

  • UIP - fibroblast focus - high mag. (WC)
