Diffuse panbronchiolitis, abbreviated DPB, is a rare lung disease.

General

  • Rare lung disease predominantly found among asians.[1]
  • Has been likened to cystic fibrosis - but doesn't really share any features with it.

Gross

Features:[1]

  • Bronchiectasis.
  • Hyperinflation.
  • Small nodules (~2-3 mm) around the small airways.
  • Diffuse involvement of both lungs.

Microscopic

Features:[1]

  • Transmural inflammation of bronchioles - esp. respiratory bronchioles.
    • Lymphocytes, plasma cells, histiocytes.
  • Neutrophils within the airway.
