Smoking-related interstitial fibrosis
Smoking-related interstitial fibrosis, abbreviated SRIF, is a benign pauci-inflammatory scarring associated with smoking.
| Smoking-related interstitial fibrosis | |
|---|---|
| Diagnosis in short | |
|
| |
| LM | septal thickening of alveoli with thick collagen bundles (described as "ropy") and hyperplastic smooth muscle fibres; minimal inflammation |
| LM DDx | usual interstitial pneumonia |
| Gross | subpleural and centrilobular predominance |
| Site | lung |
|
| |
| Associated Dx | emphysema, respiratory bronchiolitis |
| Clinical history | smoking |
| Prognosis | benign, better than UIP |
General
- Associated with emphysema and respiratory bronchiolitis.[1]
Clinical:
- Much better prognosis than UIP with emphysema - five year survival 86% (SRIF) versus 41% (UIP).[2]
Gross
- Subpleural and centrilobular predominance.[1]
Microscopic
Features:[1]
- Septal thickening of alveoli with:
- Thick collagen bundles - may be described as "ropy".[3]
- Hyperplastic smooth muscle fibres.
- Minimal inflammation.
DDx:
- Usual interstitial pneumonia - has inflammation.
