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

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

General

  • Thought to be advanced RBILD.
  • Strong association with smoking.[1][2]
    • May be seen in non-smokers (up to ~40% of cases) due to occupations exposures, drugs, viral illnesses and autoimmune disease.[3]

Treatment:

  • Stop smoking.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Abundant brown pigmented airspace macrophages - smoker's macrophages - key feature.
  • Architecture preserved; "linear fibrosis".

Notes:

  • Some fields of view may be indistinguishable from RBILD.

DDx:

Images

Stains

  • Macrophages PAS +ve.
