Diffuse Infiltrative Lung Disease
In this topic, we will deal with conditions that tend to 1) involve both the lungs diffusely, and 2) primarily produce abnormalities of the pulmonary parenchyma (as opposed to the airways and blood vessels, which are dealt with elsewhere). All diseases may be classified by anatomic, physiologic, and clinical schemes. In pathology, we tend to work from anatomic classifications in understanding t...
متن کاملDiffuse lymphoid interstitial pneumonia.

HRCT is now a key diagnostic tool in diffuse lung disease, but has not completely replaced histopathological diagnosis. In many cases, HRCT can provide disease-specific information so biopsy can be avoided when the clinical presentation is characteristic [1]. This is relevant for some rarer interstitial lung diseases, such as lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM; multiple uniform thin-walled cysts; di...
متن کاملDiagnostic imaging of diffuse infiltrative disease of the lung.
Plain chest radiography remains the first diagnostic approach to diffuse infiltrative lung disease but has limited diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. Many diseases remain occult or are not correctly assessed using chest X-ray, appearing as a nonspecific 'reticulonodular pattern'. High-resolution CT (HRCT) is actually the recommended imaging technique in the diagnosis, assessment, and follo...
متن کاملOpen lung biopsy for diffuse interstitial lung disease in children.
The aim of the study was to investigate the contribution that open lung biopsy makes to the management of children with diffuse interstitial lung disease and to review the procedure-related morbidity in comparison with published literature on other biopsy techniques. The authors reviewed the case notes and histology of patients under 18 yrs who had had an open lung biopsy in 1991-1998 for inves...
