==Organizing pneumonia== | |||
===General=== | |||
*Multiple causes, e.g. transplant rejection, infection. | |||
Clinical diagnoses:<ref name=Ref_WMSP91>{{Ref WMSP|91}}</ref> | |||
*[[Lung transplant pathology|Transplant rejection]]. | |||
*Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP), [[AKA]] (idiopathic) bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP). | |||
**Should '''not''' be confused with ''[[constrictive bronchiolitis]]'' (AKA ''[[bronchiolitis obliterans]]''). | |||
*[[Collagen vascular disease]]. | |||
*Toxic injury. | |||
*Infection. | |||
*Peri-tumor - in proximity to a space-occupying lesion (abscess, neoplasm). | |||
Note: | |||
*BOOP is used as a synonym for ''organizing pneumonia'' which has the long differential diagnosis above.<ref name=Ref_WMSP91>{{Ref WMSP|91}}</ref> | |||
**Confusingly, it may be used to refer to the idiopathic form of organizing pneumonia, now generally known as cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP). | |||
***In other words, strictly speaking, ''BOOP'' is '''not''' the same as ''COP''; idiopathic BOOP ''is'' COP. | |||
===Microscopic=== | |||
Features:<ref name=Ref_Klatt110>{{Ref Klatt|110}}</ref> | |||
*Distal airway disease -- airways plugged with organizing exudate ("Masson bodies"). | |||
**"Organized exudate" = fluffy light-staining paucicellular regions with stellate cells (fibroblasts & immature connective tissue). | |||
