Cryptogenic organising pneumonia or acute fibrinous and organising pneumonia?
نویسندگان
چکیده
First, histology is described as follows: ‘‘...diffuse intraalveolar exudate of granular, fibrinous material...’’. Organising pneumonia pattern, the histological hallmark of cryptogenic organising pneumonia, is characterised by intraalveolar buds of granulation tissue. Recently, a new anatomoclinical entity has been reported by BEASLEY et al. [2] as ‘‘acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia (AFOP)’’. The clinical spectrum of this entity may be similar to cryptogenic organising pneumonia and, taking into account the morphological features on surgical lung biopsy specimens, in our opinion, the case reported by CHEE et al. [1] is more consistent with this diagnostic hypothesis.

متن کاملUpdate on cryptogenic organising pneumonia (idiopathic bronchiolitis obliterans organising pneumonia).
Organising pneumonia, defined by intraalveolar buds of connective tissue, may be a disorder secondary to a determined cause (infectious agents, drugs) or occurring in a specific context (as the connective tissue disorders). It may also be a cryptogenic interstitial pneumonia with characteristic clinical and imaging features and especially an excellent response to corticosteroids.
متن کاملCryptogenic organising pneumonia presenting with spontaneous pneumothorax and the value of procalcitonin: A case report
Cryptogenic Organising Pneumonia (COP) is a relatively rare condition and can be difficult to differentiate from Community acquired pneumonia (CAP). We report two cases which demonstrate the importance of considering this differential diagnosis in patients with spontaneous pneumothorax who have raised inflammatory markers or lung infiltrates. Our report highlights the value of serum procalciton...
متن کاملCryptogenic organising pneumonia.
Organising pneumonia is defined histopathologically by intra-alveolar buds of granulation tissue, consisting of intermixed myofibroblasts and connective tissue. Although nonspecific, this histopathological pattern, together with characteristic clinical and imaging features, defines cryptogenic organising pneumonia when no cause or peculiar underlying context is found. Rapid clinical and imaging...

Cryptogenic Organising Pneumonia (COP), also called idiopathic Bronchiolitis Obliterans Organising Pneumonia( BOOP), is a distinct entity among the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias defined histopathologically by intraalveolar buds of granulation tissue. The etiology includes idiopathic, infectious, drug induced radiation induced and connective tissue diseases. Organising pneumonia occurs part...
