| ==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.

| 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).
