A. Lung, Right Lower Lobe, Wedge Biopsy:
- Usual interstitial pneumonia, see comment and microscopic.
B. Lung, Right Middle Lobe, Wedge Biopsy:
- Usual interstitial pneumonia, see comment and microscopic.
C. Lung, Right Upper Lobe, Wedge Biopsy:
- Usual interstitial pneumonia, see comment and microscopic.
Comment:
There are no findings to specifically suggest hypersensitivity. Clinical and radiologic
correlation is suggested.

===Alternate===
<pre>
Right Lower Lobe of Lung, Wedge Resection:
    - Usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern (fibroblast foci, bronchiolization,
      extensive fibroelastotic scarring and focal calcification/bone formation), see comment.
Comment:
UIP pattern may be idiopathic. It is also be seen in the context of collagen vascular diseases, hypersensitivity reactions, and drugs; these need to be considered in clinical context along with the imaging findings.

===Micro===
<pre>
Sections show lung parenchyma with:
Fibrosis (severity; lobar location): present (moderate-to-severe; peripheral predominant).
Fibrosis - lung field predominance: lower lobe > middle lobe > upper lobe.
Fibroblast foci: present.
Temporal heterogeneity: present.
Spatial heterogeneity: present.
Peripheral cyst formation: present.
Inflammation: present - patchy, lymphocyte predominant.
Granulomatous inflammation: absent.
Blood vessel changes: present, moderate-to-severe.
Airspace changes: mucous plugs.
