Desquamative interstitial pneumonia
Diagnosis in short

LM abundant brown pigmented airspace macrophages (smoker's macrophages), architecture preserved ("linear fibrosis")
LM DDx amiodarone toxicity, fibrotic NSIP, RBILD
Site lung - see diffuse lung diseases

Associated Dx +/-smoking
Prevalence uncommon
Treatment stop smoking/remove insult

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]

Diagnosis:

  • Requires - surgical biopsy.[3]

Treatment:

  • Stop smoking/remove or manage underlying cause.

Microscopic

Features:[4]

  • Abundant brown pigmented airspace macrophages - smoker's macrophages - key feature.
  • Interstitial inflammation or interstitial fibrosis with preserved architecture preserved - so called "linear fibrosis".

Notes:

  • Some fields of view may be indistinguishable from RBILD.

DDx:

Images

Stains

  • Macrophages PAS +ve.
