*Diffuse lung disease is best assessed on an open biopsy.
**These procedure are quite invasive; thus, not infrequently clinicians will try a transbrochial biopsy that ends-up providing in useful information.

LUNG, LEFT, TRANSBRONCHIAL BIOPSY:
- SMALL FRAGMENTS OF LUNG PARENCHYMA WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT CHANGES, SEE MICROSCOPIC
  DESCRIPTION AND COMMENT.
 
COMMENT:
The clinical findings are noted. The size and type of biopsy significantly limit the
interpretation.  Suspected diffuse lung disease (interstitial lung disease)
is best assessed on an open lung biopsy.
</pre>
====Micro====
The sections show small fragments of lung parenchyma. A very small amount of anthracotic
pigment is present. Interstitial fibrosis is not apparent. No granulomata are identified.
No nuclear atypia is identified. Air-space macrophages show minimal pigmentation and are
not present in large numbers. No significant airspace or interstitial inflammation is
identified.

==Usual interstitial pneumonia==
==Usual interstitial pneumonia==
*Abbreviated ''UIP''.
*Abbreviated ''UIP''.
===General===
{{Main|Usual interstitial pneumonia}}
*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,<ref name=Ref_PPP186>{{Ref PPP|186}}</ref> as it is peripheral.
 
====Epidemiology====
*Disease of the old - rare in under 50 years old.<ref>AC UBC S.102.</ref>
*Dismal prognosis - mean survival after diagnosis ~ 2.8 years.<ref name=pmid9445300>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Bjoraker | first1 = JA. | last2 = Ryu | first2 = JH. | last3 = Edwin | first3 = MK. | last4 = Myers | first4 = JL. | last5 = Tazelaar | first5 = HD. | last6 = Schroeder | first6 = DR. | last7 = Offord | first7 = KP. | title = Prognostic significance of histopathologic subsets in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. | journal = Am J Respir Crit Care Med | volume = 157 | issue = 1 | pages = 199-203 | month = Jan | year = 1998 | doi =  | PMID = 9445300 }}</ref>
 
===Radiology===
*Honeycombing - ''multiple'' defects that obliterate the normal lung architecture - multiple spherical voids in the lung parenchyma; radiologically these are seen as lucencies.<ref>[http://www.medcyclopaedia.com/library/topics/volume_v_1/h/honeycombing.aspx http://www.medcyclopaedia.com/library/topics/volume_v_1/h/honeycombing.aspx]</ref>
**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.<ref>[http://www.medcyclopaedia.com/library/topics/volume_v_1/l/lung_cyst.aspx http://www.medcyclopaedia.com/library/topics/volume_v_1/l/lung_cyst.aspx]</ref>
 
===Microscopic===
Features:<ref name=Ref_PPP186-9>{{Ref PPP|186-9}}</ref>
*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.<ref>[http://www.epler.com/IPFWhat%27sIPFDiseaseInformation2.htm http://www.epler.com/IPFWhat%27sIPFDiseaseInformation2.htm]</ref>
**Note: Technically, ''fibroblast foci'' are composed of myofibroblasts.<ref name=Ref_PPP189>{{Ref PPP|189}}</ref>
*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.<ref name=Ref_WMSP92>{{Ref WMSP|92}}</ref>
 
Notes:
*Disease worse distant from large airways: lower lung field predominance, typically worse at periphery of lobule and lung.<ref>A. Churg. UBC S.103.</ref>
*Heterogeneity of inflammation: airspace macrophages & inflammation minimal in honeycombed foci.

*Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (UIP not otherwise specified).
*Asbestosis = UIP pattern + ferruginous bodies with asbestos fibers.

Note:

**Confusingly, it may be used to refer to the idiopathic form of organizing pneumonia, now generally known as ''cryptogenic organizing pneumonia'' (COP).
