Desquamative interstitial pneumonia
Diagnosis in short

Desquamative interstitial pneumonia. H&E stain. (WC/Nephron)

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 rare
Radiology ground glass airspaces changes - usu. all lobes but peripheral predominant and in lower lobe predominant
Treatment stop smoking/remove insult

Desquamative interstitial pneumonia, abbreviated DIP, is a diffuse lung disease that is strongly associated with smoking.

The term desquamative interstitial pneumonia is a misnomer. The airspace cells that characterize the condition were once thought to represent desquamated epithelial cells, but they are now know to represent macrophages.[1]

General

  • Rare.[2]
  • Strong association with smoking.[3][4]
    • 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.[5]

Diagnosis:

  • Requires - surgical biopsy.[5]

Treatment:

  • Stop smoking/remove or manage underlying cause.

Gross/Radiology

Features:[6]

  • Ground glass (airspace changes).
    • Usually peripheral predominant (~60% of cases) and lower lobe predominant (~70-75% of cases).
    • Typically all lobes are involved - though upper lobe spared in ~20% of cases.
  • Fibrotic (radiologic) changes ~50% of cases.

Microscopic

Features:[2]

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

Notes:

  • Some fields of view may be indistinguishable from RBILD.
