A large and diverse group of pathologic conditions

manifests clinically and radiologically as diffuse

parenchymal lung disease In practice this group of

disorders has been categorized on the basis of clinical

dysfunction (lsquolsquorestrictive lung diseasersquorsquo) or radiologic

appearance (lsquolsquointerstitial lung disease [ILD]rsquorsquo) neither

of which accurately reflects the pathologic processes

involved [1] Diffuse ILDs encompass mainly inflam-

matory processes that involve the structural elements

of this organ Some ILDs are caused by infections but

most are the result of immunologic environmental or

toxic mechanisms These diseases are discussed

together because they have in common the tendency

to produce bilateral abnormalities on chest imaging

studies and are mainly nonneoplastic conditions [2]

Currently less morbid sampling techniques have

increased dramatically the probability that pulmo-

nologists and their general pathology colleagues will

be faced with establishing a specific and clinically

relevant diagnosis using surgical lung biopsy material

Most of the concepts presented in this article have

been established using this type of specimen

In the early years of surgical lung biopsy a small

number of diffuse inflammatory conditions came to

light that exclusively involved the lungs and did not

seem to be caused by infection toxin sarcoidosis

pneumoconiosis or neoplasm Liebow is credited

with recognizing these conditions and devising a

classification system for them These disorders came

to be known as the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias

[3] The original classification proposed by Liebow is

presented for historical purposes in Box 1 Much has

changed in medical science over the years and none

of the entities proposed in Liebowrsquos original classi-

fication is viewed today exactly as he described them

more than 30 years ago A recent international

consensus conference updated the classification of

idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (Box 2) [4] In this

article these lsquolsquoidiopathicrsquorsquo disorders are discussed in

the context of their dominant pathologic findings

rather than presented as a separate group of entities

(as has been traditional in past) A comparison of the

pathologic manifestations of the idiopathic ILDs is

presented in Table 1

Interpretation of lung biopsies in a patient with

ILD is best accomplished using a multidisciplinary

approach that results in a composite clinico-radio-

logic-pathologic diagnosis Unfortunately this is not

always realistic in many clinical practice settings For

diffuse lung diseases a pathologist must have some

essential information regarding the clinical and

radiologic findings to arrive at a clinically meaningful

diagnosis In many instances more extensive clinical

and radiologic consultation may be necessary The

pulmonologist who is conversant with the pathology

of ILD is a powerful ally in this process

Pattern analysis approach to surgical lung

that the microscope slide be evaluated first by the

naked eye may seem overly methodical but it does

force the interpreter to see the lsquolsquobig picturersquorsquo before

getting lost in the fine details For nonneoplastic lung

diseases the scanning low power objective (2 or

4) is useful if not essential because different

diseases give rise to different architectural patterns

which may immediately raise a narrow differential

diagnosis For diffuse lung diseases several helpful

patterns emerge

Pattern 1 acute lung injury

The prototype of this pattern is diffuse alveolar

damage (DAD) with hyaline membranes classically

encountered in the clinical setting of adult respiratory

distress syndrome (ARDS) (Fig 1)

Pattern 2 fibrosis

Lung diseases that lead to the accrual of collagen

in the lung with permanent structural remodeling

are represented by this pattern (Fig 2) Idiopathic

pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) (pathologic usual intersti-

tial pneumonia [UIP]) is the prototype and is often

the diagnosis of greatest clinical concern in older

adult patients because of the dismal prognosis of

this condition

Pattern 3 cellular interstitial infiltrates

Lymphocytes plasma cells and macrophages

are present in the alveolar walls in Pattern 3 (Fig 3)

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (extrinsic allergic al-

veolitis) is the prototype of this pattern

Pattern 4 airspace filling

This pattern is characterized by the presence of

cells or other material filling the alveolar spaces

(Fig 4) Organizing pneumonia is the prototype of

this pattern The airspace filling pattern also includes

infectious bronchopneumonias (neutrophils in the al-

veoli) classic Pneumocystis infection in the immu-

nocompromised host (foamy casts in alveoli)

pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) (proteinaceous

material in alveoli) diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage

(blood siderophages and patchy organizing pneumo-

nia in alveoli) and DIP in which lightly pigmented

lsquolsquosmokersrsquorsquo-type macrophages are the dominant intra-

alveolar element

Pattern 5 nodules

The presence of discrete nodules (Fig 5) in the

lung parenchyma raises a differential diagnosis that

includes nodular infections benign and malignant

neoplasms sarcoidosis Langerhansrsquo cell histiocyto-

sis and various bronchiolocentric diseases The

prototype is Wegenerrsquos granulomatosis (large nodular

pattern) but small (miliary) patterns of disease also

are included

Pattern 6 near normal lung

The surgical lung biopsy that has barely discern-

ible abnormalities is often the result of diseases that

affect the airways and blood vessels of the lung The

changes may be subtle at low magnification The

prototype is small airways disease in which pruning

dilatation and generalized scarring of the small

airways occur and this may be difficult to appreciate

Fig 1 Pattern 1 acute lung injury DAD with hyaline

membranes classically encountered in the clinical setting of

ARDS is the prototype of the acute lung injury pattern

at scanning magnification Vascular diseases (eg pul-

monary hypertension) cystic diseases (eg lymphan-

gioleiomyomatosis [LAM]) and conditions with

patchy scarring also can produce subtle disease that

results in what seems to be lsquolsquonormalrsquorsquo lung from

respective differential diagnosis is presented inTable 2

Overlap between patterns occurs and may be a use-

ful clue in the differential diagnosis For example

when nearly all of the six patterns are present in the

same biopsy specimen rheumatoid arthritis is often

the correct diagnosis Acute lung injury also proceeds

through several distinctive histopathologic patterns

during the repair phase after injury If a lung biopsy is

performed in the subacute phase of DAD airspace

filled with cells or other material Organizing pneumonia is

the prototype of this pattern

tially cause confusion with organizing pneumonia

by variable interstitial and alveolar edema fibrin in

airspaces and reactive type-II cell hyperplasia (Fig 7)

phils and siderophages are the qualifying elements to

be searched for once this pattern is identified When

hyaline membranes are present (Fig 8) the term

lsquolsquodiffuse alveolar damagersquorsquo is appropriate (see later

discussion) The differential diagnosis in the setting of

DAD always includes infection at the top of the list

but several other causes must be considered once

infection has been reasonably excluded (Box 3)

the United States where it is estimated to occur at a

rate of 150000 cases per year The pathologic

manifestation of ARDS is DAD Although DAD is

the prototypic manifestation of ARDS pathologic

DAD does not necessarily correspond to the clinical

entity of ARDS In current practice in the United

States most cases of DAD arise as a consequence of

lung infection or immunologically mediated acute

lung injury related to drug toxicity or connective

tissue disease In the immunocompromised patient

infection dominates this picture

Infections

A complete discussion of pulmonary infections

that produce acute lung injury is beyond the scope of

this article Bacteria fungi and viruses can produce

acute lung injury and are the diagnosis of exclusion in

this setting Viruses are the most common of these

infections to cause diffuse acute lung injury The

more common viruses that cause pneumonia and their

susceptible hosts are presented in Table 3

Drugs and radiation reactions

Medications taken orally or by injection may

produce various lesions within the lung including

DAD pulmonary edema asthma eosinophilic pneu-

monia and even advanced fibrosis [56] For many

drugs acute and chronic forms of toxicity have been

reported This discussion emphasizes a few reactions

that classically manifest as acute lung disease and

highlight those that may produce chronic disease

Nitrofurantoin

Nitrofurantoin is an antimicrobial agent used in

the treatment of urinary tract infections This agent is

responsible for more cases of pulmonary toxicity than

any other drug with acute and chronic reactions

reported [78] Acute reactions are accompanied by

fever dyspnea and peripheral eosinophilia which

typically appear within 2 weeks of initiating therapy

The histopathologic findings are similar to those of

acute eosinophilic pneumonia Chronic reactions

occur in a few patients taking the drug and clinical

manifestations appear after 1 to 6 months of treat-

ment The chronic cases are more often subjected to

biopsy and show interstitial inflammation and fibrosis

accompanied by vascular sclerosis

Cytotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs

The most common group of drugs that produces

acute lung injury includes the antineoplastic agents

From a clinical standpoint some drugs (eg 5-fluoro-

uracil vinblastine cytarabine adriamycin thiotepa

azathioprine) almost never produce pulmonary dis-

ease With increasing numbers of newer antineo-

plastic agents being used pulmonary toxicity

undoubtedly will increase Excellent on-line re-

sources that provide comprehensive and up-to-date

lists of these agents are available [9]

Analgesics

Heroin [10] methadone propoxyphene and even

aspirin can produce acute lung reactions [1112]

Toxicity typically results from overdose and is

characterized by pulmonary edema sometimes com-

plicated by aspiration of gastric contents When pill

binding agents such as talc or microcrystalline

cellulose are injected with a drug intravenously a

foreign body giant cell reaction may be seen in lung

tissue in a characteristic perivascular distribution

Radiation pneumonitis

Radiation therapy was a common cause of acute

lung injury before improved technology and modi-

fications in dosing were instituted [13] Radiation

injury can be exacerbated by infection [14] and

chemotherapeutic drugs [15] Initial clinical signs and

symptoms often are absent or mild In the acute

phase chest radiographs and high-resolution CT

(HRCT) reveal ground-glass opacities or airspace

consolidation with some loss of lung volume

Acute eosinophilic lung disease

Acute lung injury that occurs in the presence of

significant numbers of tissue eosinophils is referred

to as lsquolsquoacute eosinophilic lung diseasersquorsquo Peripheral

blood and bronchoalveolar lavage eosinophils are

commonly elevated in these conditions Eosinophilia

may not be persistent throughout the disease and

eosinophilic vasculitis is not a prerequisite for the

diagnosis in lung tissue Several forms have been

eosinophils fibrin and plump eosinophilic macrophages surrounded by striking reactive type II cell hyperplasia (A) Low

magnification with parenchymal consolidation (B) Prominent fibrin in airspaces with eosinophils and reactive type II cells

Fig 10 Eosinophilic pneumonia Eosinophilic microab-

scesses and eosinophilic vasculitis may be present but are

described over the years the mildest of which has

been referred to as Loeffler syndrome or simple

eosinophilic pneumonia Ascaris infestation was

documented eventually in the initial series by

Loeffler which led to the hypothesis that simple

eosinophilic pneumonia was a manifestation of

hypersensitivity to Ascaris antigens

The second form occurs commonly in patients

with asthma presumably as an allergic manifestation

to an unknown antigen The clinical course is more

chronic and typically evolves slowly over many

months Patients with the lsquolsquochronicrsquorsquo form of eosino-

philic pneumonia may have a typical clinical syn-

drome and radiographic appearance [16]

Finally a dramatic new manifestation of idio-

pathic eosinophilic lung disease has been described

that is characterized by rapid onset of breathlessness

in an otherwise healthy young adult without asthma

[17] This form may mimic DAD clinically and patho-

logically even with the presence of hyaline mem-

branes The importance of recognizing this entity lies

in its excellent prognosis and characteristic rapid

response to corticosteroid therapy

Some other well-recognized associations have

been described with eosinophilic pneumonia The

best example is that produced by sensitivity to nitro-

furantoin and other drugs Eosinophilic pneumonia in

the presence of asthma may be a manifestation of

hypersensitivity to aspergillus and other fungal organ-

isms (eg allergic bronchopulmonary fungal disease)

The histopathologic features of eosinophilic pneu-

monia include intra-alveolar eosinophils fibrin and

plump eosinophilic macrophages surrounded by

striking reactive type II cell hyperplasia (Fig 9)

Acute fibrinous pleuritis may occur Eosinophilic

microabscesses and eosinophilic vasculitis may be

present but are not necessary for the diagnosis

(Fig 10)

Acute pulmonary manifestations of the collagen

vascular diseases

The most common acute manifestation of the

collagen vascular diseases is DAD but diffuse

pulmonary hemorrhage also occurs The more com-

mon collagen vascular diseases that produce acute

manifestations are presented herein

Fig 11 Acute lupus pneumonitis is a serious complication of SLE The pattern is acute lung injury (A) with or without hyaline

membranes Diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage also may occur usually accompanied by vasculitis (B) and capillaritis

Fig 12 Acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia This

condition typically lacks hyaline membranes but is rich in

fibrinous alveolar exudates

Rheumatoid arthritis

Nearly one-half of all patients with rheumatoid

arthritis (RA) develop one or more forms of

rheumatoid lung disease [18] and patients with more

severe joint involvement are more likely to develop

pleuropulmonary manifestations Lung disease typi-

cally follows the development of joint disease but

occasionally the lung or pleura may herald the

disease DAD is a well-recognized complication of

RA [19]

Systemic lupus erythematosus

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) also com-

monly involves the lungs and pleura [18] Painful

pleuritis with or without effusion is the most common

abnormality [20] but acute lupus pneumonitis is a

potentially disastrous complication with a mortality

rate of 50 [21] Acute lupus pneumonitis is

characterized morphologically by DAD Diffuse

pulmonary hemorrhage also may occur usually

accompanied by vasculitis and capillaritis (Fig 11)

Immune complexes may be identified on capillary

basement membranes in this setting [22]

Dermatomyositis-polymyositis

DAD is not common in dermatomyositis-poly-

myositis but the clinical presentation may be

particularly dramatic Tazelaar et al [23] presented

14 patients with dermatomyositis-polymyositis who

developed lung disease Three patients developed

DAD all of whom died most frequently in the acute

episode The authors also reviewed 27 additional

cases of dermatomyositis-polymyositis lung disease

reported in the literature and found similar results

DAD may be the first clinical manifestation of

dermatomyositis-polymyositis and may precede the

clinical and serologic diagnosis of the disease by

many months

Acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia

A new entity with some similarities to DAD

recently has been described and it is termed lsquolsquoacute

fibrinous and organizing pneumoniarsquorsquo [24] Acute

fibrinous and organizing pneumonia can be patchy

and typically lacks hyaline membranes but is rich in

fibrinous alveolar exudates (Fig 12) without evi-

dence of infection Like DAD acute fibrinous and

organizing pneumonia can be idiopathic or associated

with several underlying or associated conditions

such as collagen vascular disease drug reaction

and occupational exposures Survival is similar to

DAD in general but the requirement for mechanical

ventilation was associated with a worse prognosis

Acute diffuse alveolar hemorrhage

Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is character-

ized by a triad of (1) hemoptysis (2) anemia and

(3) bilateral ground-glass opacities (or consolidation)

that rapidly wax and wane Hemorrhage and hemo-

siderin-laden macrophages in alveolar spaces are

essential to the pathologic diagnosis [25ndash27] In

practice artifactual hemorrhage can occur commonly

in lung biopsy specimens Hemosiderin-laden macro-

phages (with coarsely granular golden-brown refrac-

tile pigment) always should be present in the alveolar

spaces before one invokes the diagnosis of DAH

(Fig 13) The differential diagnosis of DAH is pre-

sented in Box 4

Antiglomerular basement membrane disease

(Goodpasturersquos syndrome)

When diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage occurs with

renal disease in the presence of circulating antibodies

against glomerular basement membranes the con-

dition is referred to as antiglomerular basement

membrane disease [28ndash31] Lung biopsy is less

desirable than kidney as a diagnostic specimen in

Fig 13 DAH Fresh blood in the lung is not sufficient

evidence for a diagnosis of DAH Hemosiderin-laden

macrophages with coarsely granular golden-brown refractile

pigment always should be present

antiglomerular basement membrane disease but

because renal disease is commonly occult at the time

of presentation the lung is often the first tissue

sample examined by the pathologist Unfortunately

the lung findings are relatively nonspecific and

consist of fresh alveolar hemorrhage hemosiderin

deposition in macrophages (siderophages) and vari-

able interstitial inflammation with delicate interstitial

fibrosis (Fig 14) The presence of capillaritis in the

alveolar wall is also helpful in distinguishing anti-

glomerular basement membrane disease from idio-

pathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) and chronic

passive lung congestion The results of immunofluo-

rescent studies on lung tissue are not as reliable as

they are on kidney tissue [30] and for cost-effective

practice we generally recommend serologic confir-

mation (radioimmunoassay or ELISA) even when

appropriately preserved lung tissue is available

Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage associated with the

systemic collagen vascular diseases

DAH may occur as a consequence of several

immune-mediated vasculitides including those that

occur in the setting of collagen vascular disease

Potential causes of DAH in this setting include

microscopic polyangiitis SLE Wegenerrsquos granulo-

matosis cryoglobulinemia RA crescentic glomeru-

lonephritis and scleroderma [25272930] The

common histopathologic feature is acute capillaritis

with or without larger vessel vasculitis (Fig 15)

Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis

In the absence of renal disease or demonstrable

immunologic disease DAH has been termed IPH

Fig 15 DAH in the collagen vascular diseases The common histo

disease is acute capillaritis (A) with or without larger vessel vascu

IPH occurs most commonly in children younger

than 10 years and young adults in the second and

third decades of life Anemia is accompanied by

bilateral areas of consolidation on the chest radio-

graph The sexes are equally affected in the younger

age group but men predominate in the older age

group The histopathology is similar to that of

antiglomerular basement membrane disease namely

alveolar hemorrhage and hemosiderin-laden macro-

phages but in IPH there is less interstitial inflam-

mation and more fibrosis (Fig 16) By definition

tion and more fibrosis

tissue immunoglobulin studies and electron micros-

copy are nondiagnostic

Idiopathic diffuse alveolar damage acute interstitial

pneumonia

The term lsquolsquoacute interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo was first

introduced in 1986 to describe a syndrome of rapidly

evolving acute respiratory failure that occurred in

immunocompetent individuals [32] The patients

described included three men and five women (two

of whom were pregnant) who developed sudden

unexplained respiratory failure Six reported a viral-

like prodrome None of the patients was reported to

have underlying collagen vascular disease By

definition acute interstitial pneumonia is of unknown

cause and is a diagnosis of exclusion The usual

causes of ARDS must be absent (ie shock sepsis

trauma aspiration or drug toxicity)

Surgical lung biopsies show DAD in varying

stages (Fig 17) The changes observed in biopsy

specimens depend on the stage at which the biopsy is

taken and tend to be relatively diffuse throughout the

specimen Like other forms of DAD the early stages

show an exudative phase with edema and hyaline

membranes Bronchioles may show squamous meta-

plasia that extend peripherally to involve adjacent

alveolar walls Organizing arterial thrombi were seen

in five of the seven patients who died in the Kat-

zenstein series [32] In the last stages fibrosis distorts

the lung architecture

Collagen vascular disease or allergic disorders

may be responsible for many cases of acute inter-

stitial pneumonia although they may not be clinically

apparent at the time of presentation acute interstitial

pneumonia has been formally added to the classi-

fication of the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias by a

recent international consensus committee [4]

Pattern 2 interstitial lung disease dominated by

fibrosis (typically months to years in evolution)

A large number of systemic diseases inhalational

exposures toxins and drugs and even genetic

disorders are well known to cause scarring in the

lungs with permanent structural remodeling A list of

these diseases is presented in Box 5 UIP is the most

notorious of these diseases and is the diagnosis of

exclusion for patients over the age of 50 because of

the dismal prognosis of this idiopathic condition In

younger patients the systemic connective tissue

diseases figure prominently as causes of chronic lung

disease with fibrosis

Pulmonary fibrosis in the systemic connective tissue

diseases

The collagen vascular diseases as a group involve

the respiratory system frequently Each of these

diseases may involve the lung and pleura in several

different ways Although the lung morphologic

abnormalities are not specific for any one of these

diseases some features are more commonly mani-

fested than others in each of them (Table 4) A few of

the more prominent collagen vascular diseases known

to produce fibrosis are presented herein

Rheumatoid arthritis

The most common thoracic complication of RA is

pleural disease (effusion or pleuritis) which is seen in

as much as 50 of patients in autopsy studies

According to a study by Walker and Wright [33]

approximately one-third of the patients with pleural

effusions also have pulmonary manifestations of RA

in the form of nodules or interstitial disease Nodules

may be seen in the lung parenchyma and occasionally

in the walls of airways in persons with RA which

represents lymphoid hyperplasia with germinal cen-

ters in most instances (Fig 18) The interstitial

pneumonia of RA may be cellular with little fibrosis

(cellular NSIP-like see later discussion) fibrotic with

honeycomb cystic remodeling (UIP-like see later

discussion) and occasionally may have a macro-

phage-rich DIP pattern (discussed in Pattern 4) [19]

Fig 17 Acute interstitial pneumonia Surgical lung biopsies show diffuse alveolar damage in varying stages In the earliest

manifestation (A) edema in the alveolar spaces and interstitium is typical with hyaline membranes and preservation of the

alveolar spaces As the process evolves (2ndash4 days after onset) hyaline membranes become thicker and there is greater cellularity

in the interstitium as inflammatory cells begin to accrue (B) By the end of the first week (C) alveolar spaces are overwhelmed

by reparative changes with myofibroblasts that produce an organizing pneumonia pattern Over the next weeks (D) the

myofibroblasts become incorporated into the interstitium as the best outcome with reconstitution of the alveolar architecture

Systemic lupus erythematosus

Similar to RA SLE also commonly involves the

respiratory system [18] Painful pleuritis with or

without effusion is the most common abnormality

[20] Noninfectious organizing pneumonia also has

been reported and advanced fibrosis with honey-

comb remodeling occurs (Fig 19) [34]

Progressive systemic sclerosis

The most notable feature of lsquolsquoscleroderma lungrsquorsquo

is the presence of extensive alveolar wall fibrosis

without much inflammation (Fig 20) [35] Some

degree of diffuse lung fibrosis occurs in nearly every

patient with pulmonary involvement [18] Patients

with longstanding progressive systemic sclerosisndash

related lung fibrosis are at high risk of developing

bronchoalveolar carcinoma Vascular sclerosis usu-

ally without true vasculitis is typical if sufficiently

severe it produces pulmonary hypertension [36]

Pleural disease is less common in progressive

systemic sclerosis than in RA or SLE

Mixed connective tissue disease

Mixed connective tissue disease is relatively

common in producing interstitial pulmonary disease

or pleural effusions [18] In many cases the

abnormalities respond well to corticosteroid therapy

but severe and progressive pulmonary disease with

sembles the pattern seen in UIP (see later discussion)

occurs and pulmonary hypertension may occur

accompanied by plexiform lesions similar to those

seen in persons with primary pulmonary hyperten-

sion [37]

DermatomyositisPolymyositis

Several forms of ILD have been reported in der-

matomyositispolymyositis and the histologic find-

ings seen on biopsy seem to be better predictors of

prognosis than clinical or radiologic features [23] A

subacute presentation with a noninfectious organizing

pneumonia pattern has been associated with the best

prognosis whereas the worst prognosis has been

associated with advanced lung fibrosis [23]

Sjogrenrsquos syndrome

The common pulmonary lesions of Sjogrenrsquos

syndrome generally evolve over weeks to months

and are analogous to the disease manifestations in the

salivary glands The range of disease patterns in

Sjogrenrsquos syndrome is broad especially when Sjog-

renrsquos syndrome is accompanied by other connective

tissue disease A hallmark of pure Sjogrenrsquos syndrome

in the lung is marked lymphoreticular infiltrates in

the submucosal glands of the tracheobronchial tree

(Fig 21) [18] Patients with Sjogrenrsquos syndrome also

are at risk for LIP and occasionally develop lympho-

proliferative disorders that involve the pulmonary

interstitium ranging from relatively low-grade extra-

nodal marginal zone lymphoma (MALToma) to a

high-grade lymphoma Advanced lung fibrosis also

occurs as pleuropulmonary manifestation in Sjogrenrsquos

syndrome (Fig 22) [3839]

Certain chronic drug reactions

Many drugs are reported to produce lung fibrosis

among them bleomycin carmustine penicillamine ni-

trofurantoin tocainide mexiletine amiodarone aza-

thioprine methotrexate melphalan and mitomycin C

Unfortunately the list of agents is growing rapidly

and the reader is referred to on-line resources such

as wwwpneumotoxcom [188] for continuously

updated information on reported drug reactions Bleo-

mycin is presented in this article because it causes sub-

acute and chronic toxicity and has been used widely

as an experimental model of pulmonary fibrosis

Bleomycin

Bleomycin is an antineoplastic agent that becomes

concentrated in skin lungs and lymphatic fluid

Pulmonary lesions may be dose-related [4041] and

prior radiotherapy seems to predispose to toxicity

[42] The initial site of injury in experimental models

seems to be the venous endothelial cell [43] but type I

cell injury allows fibrin and other serum proteins to

leak into the alveolus Type II cell hyperplasia occurs

as a regenerative phenomenon that results in atypical

enlarged forms and intra-alveolar fibroplasia occurs

(often in a subpleural distribution) eventually result-

ing in alveolar septal widening (Fig 23)

Katzenstein and Fiorelli subdivided their cases

into three groups group I had diffuse interstitial

inflammation alone (Fig 26) group II had interstitial

non well documented for some collagen vascular

Other autoimmune diseases that occurred in their

found to have a history of chemical organic antigen

or drug exposures which suggested the possibility of

a hypersensitivity phenomenon Two additional

patients were status post-ARDS and two patients

had suffered pneumonia months before their biopsies

were performed

Perhaps the most important finding in the Katzen-

stein and Fiorelli study was that their population of

patients had morbidity and mortality rates signifi-

cantly different from that of UIP in which reported

mortality figures were more in the range of 90 with

median survival in the range of 3 years Only 5 of 48

patients with clinical follow-up died of progressive

lung disease (11) whereas 39 patients either

recovered or were alive with stable lung disease

For the patients with follow-up no deaths were

reported in group I patients whereas 3 patients from

group II and 2 patients from group III died

Unfortunately a significant number of patients were

lost to follow-up and mean lengths of follow-up

varied Since 1994 there have been several additional

reported series of patients with NSIP [54ndash61] with

variable reported survival rates (Table 5) Deaths

occurred in patients with NSIP who had fibrosis

the scope of NSIP to patients with idiopathic disease

ported in the series by Travis et al [61] in which 9 of

fibrosis According to Liebow UIP was idiopathic

in approximately half of the patients originally

studied In the other half the disease was lsquolsquohetero-

geneous in terms of structure and causationrsquorsquo [3]

Currently UIP has been restricted to a subset of the

broad and heterogeneous group of diseases initially

encompassed by this term [114]

UIP is a disease of older individuals typically

older than 50 years [62] Men are slightly more

commonly affected than women Characteristic clini-

cal findings include distinctive end-inspiratory

crackles (lsquolsquoVelcro cracklesrsquorsquo) at the lung bases and

the eventual development of lung fibrosis with cor

pulmonale Clubbing occurs commonly with the

consistent finding seen even in early examples of cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis is microscopic honeycombing (B) This focus

3 years [3] and the mean survival after diagnosis has

been reported as 42 years in a population-based

study [63] Different from other chronic inflamma-

tory lung diseases immunosuppressive therapy im-

proves neither survival nor quality of life for patients

with UIP [62]

HRCT has added a new dimension to the diagnosis

of UIP The abnormalities are most prominent at the

periphery of the lungs and in the lung bases

regardless of the stage [64] Irregular linear opacities

result in a reticular pattern [64] Advanced lung

remodeling with cyst formation (honeycombing) is

seen in approximately 90 of patients at presentation

[65] Ground-glass opacities can be seen in approxi-

mately 80 of cases of UIP but are seldom extensive

The gross examination of the lung often reveals a

characteristic nodular external surface (Fig 29)

Histopathologically UIP is best envisioned as a

smoldering alveolitis of unknown cause accompanied

by microscopic foci of injury repair and lung

remodeling with dense fibrosis The disease begins

at the periphery of the pulmonary lobule and has a

consistent tendency to leave lung fibrosis and honey-

comb cystic lung remodeling in its wake as it

progresses from the periphery to the center of the

lobule (Fig 30) This transition from dense fibrosis

with or without honeycombing to near normal lung

through an intermediate stage of alveolar organization

and inflammation is the histologic hallmark of so-

called lsquolsquotemporal heterogeneityrsquorsquo Thick irregular

bundles of smooth muscle typically are present within

areas of fibrosis (Fig 31) presumably arising as a

consequence of progressive parenchymal collapse

with incorporation of native airway and vascular

smooth muscle into fibrosis Less well-recognized

additional features of UIP are distortion and narrow-

ing of bronchioles together with peribronchiolar

fibrosis and inflammation This observation likely

accounts for the functional evidence of small airway

obstruction that may be found in UIP [66] Wide-

spread bronchial dilation (traction bronchiectasis)

may be present at postmortem examination in ad-

vanced disease and is evident on HRCT late in the

course of IPF

Acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Episodes of clinical deterioration are expected in

patients with UIP Although lsquolsquorespiratory failurersquorsquo is

the cause of death in approximately one half of

affected individuals for a small subset death is

sudden after acute respiratory failure This manifes-

tation of the disease has been termed lsquolsquoacute exa-

cerbation of IPFrsquorsquo when no infectious cause is

identified The typical history is that of a patient

being followed for IPF who suddenly develops acute

respiratory distress that often is accompanied by

fever elevation of the sedimentation rate marked

increase in dyspnea and new infiltrates that often

have an lsquolsquoalveolarrsquorsquo character radiologically For

many years this manifestation was believed to be

infectious pneumonia (possibly viral) superimposed

on a fibrotic lung with marginal reserve Because

cases are sufficiently common organisms are rarely

identified and a small percentage of patients respond

to pulse systemic corticosteroid therapy many inves-

tigators consider such exacerbation to be a form of

fulminant progression of the disease process itself

Overall acute exacerbation has a poor prognosis and

death within 1 week is not unusual Pathologically

acute lung injury that resembles DAD or organizing

pneumonia is superimposed on a background of

peripherally accentuated lobular fibrosis with honey-

combing This latter finding can be highlighted in

tissue sections using the Masson trichrome stain for

collagen (Fig 32) That acute exacerbation is a real

phenomenon in IPF is underscored by the results of a

recent large randomized trial of human recombinant

interferon gamma 1b in IPF In this study of patients

with early clinical disease (FVC 50 of predicted)

the 48-week trial period Eighty percent of deaths in

the experimental and control groups were respiratory

in origin and without a defined cause [67]

Pattern 3 interstitial lung diseases dominated by

interstitial mononuclear cells (chronic

inflammation)

The most classic manifestation of ILD is em-

bodied in this pattern in which mononuclear in-

flammatory cells (eg lymphocytes plasma cells and

histiocytes) distend the interstitium of the alveolar

walls The pattern is common and has several

associated conditions (Box 6)

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis

Lung disease can result from inhalation of various

organic antigens In most of these exposures the

disease is immunologically mediated presumably

through a type III hypersensitivity reaction although

the immunologic mechanisms have not been well

documented in all conditions [68] The prototypic

example is so-called lsquolsquofarmerrsquos lungrsquorsquo which is

caused by hypersensitivity to thermophilic actino-

mycetes (Micromonospora vulgaris and Thermophyl-

liae polyspora) that grow in moldy hay

The radiologic appearance depends on the stage of

the disease In the acute stage airspace consolidation

is the dominant feature In the subacute stage there is

a fine nodular pattern or ground-glass opacification

The chronic stage is dominated by fibrosis with

ute lung injury that resembles DAD or organizing pneumonia

irregular linear opacities resulting in a reticular

pattern The HRCT reveals bilateral 3- to 5-mm

poorly defined centrilobular nodular opacities or

symmetric bilateral ground-glass opacities which

are often associated with lobular areas of air trapping

linear opacities (reticular pattern) that represent

fibrosis which are usually most severe in the mid-

lung zones [70]

The classic histologic features of hypersensitivity

pneumonia are presented in Table 6 Because biopsy

is typically performed in the subacute phase the

picture is usually one of a chronic inflammatory

interstitial infiltrate with lymphocytes and variable

numbers of plasma cells Lung structure is preserved

and alveoli usually can be distinguished A few

scattered poorly formed granulomas are seen in the

interstitium (Fig 33) The epithelioid cells in the

lsquolsquogranulomasrsquorsquo are loosely aggregated and mixed with

lymphocytes Characteristically scattered giant cells

of the foreign body type are seen around terminal

airways and may contain cleft-like spaces or small

particles that are doubly refractile (Fig 34) Terminal

airways display chronic inflammation of their walls

(bronchiolitis) often with destruction distortion and

even occlusion Pale or lightly eosinophilic vacuo-

lated macrophages are typically found in alveolar

spaces and are a common sign of bronchiolar

obstruction Similar macrophages also are seen within

alveolar walls

In the largest series reported the inciting allergen

was not identified in 37 of patients who had

unequivocal evidence of hypersensitivity pneumo-

nitis on biopsy [71] even with careful retrospective

search [72] As the condition becomes more chronic

there is progressive distortion of the lung architecture

by fibrosis and microscopic honeycombing occa-

sionally attended by extensive pleural fibrosis At this

stage the lesions are difficult to distinguish from

Drug reactions

Methotrexate

Methotrexate seems to manifest pulmonary tox-

icity through a hypersensitivity reaction [75] There

does not seem to be a dose relationship to toxicity

although intravenous administration has been shown

to be associated with more toxic effects Symptoms

typically begin with a cough that occurs within the

first 3 months after administration and is accompanied

by fever malaise and progressive breathlessness

Peripheral eosinophilia occurs in a significant number

of patients who develop toxicity A chronic interstitial

infiltrate is observed in lung tissue with lymphocytes

plasma cells and a few eosinophils (Fig 36) Poorly

bronchiolitis (A) accompanied by nonnecrotizing or minimally nec

airways into adjacent alveolar spaces (B)

formed granulomas without necrosis may be seen and

scattered multinucleated giant cells are common

(Fig 37) Symptoms gradually abate after the drug

is withdrawn [76] but systemic corticosteroids also

have been used successfully

Amiodarone

Amiodarone is an effective agent used in the

setting of refractory cardiac arrhythmias It is

estimated that pulmonary toxicity occurs in 5 to

10 of patients who take this medication and older

patients seem to be at greater risk Toxicity is

heralded by slowly progressive dyspnea and dry

cough that usually occurs within months of initiating

therapy In some patients the onset of disease may

characteristic histopathologic findings are a chronic cellular

rotizing granulomas that seemingly spill out of the terminal

mimic infectious pneumonia [77ndash80] Diffuse infil-

trates may be present on HRCT scans but basalar and

peripherally accentuated high attenuation opacities

and nonspecific infiltrates are described [8182]

Amiodarone toxicity produces a cellular interstitial

pneumonia associated with prominent intra-alveolar

macrophages whose cytoplasm shows fine vacuola-

tion [7783ndash85] This vacuolation is also present in

adjacent reactive type 2 pneumocytes Characteristic

lamellar cytoplasmic inclusions are present ultra-

structurally [86] Unfortunately these cytoplasmic

changes are an expected manifestation of the drug so

their presence is not sufficient to warrant a diagnosis

of amiodarone toxicity [83] Pleural inflammation

and pleural effusion have been reported [87] Some

patients with amiodarone toxicity develop an orga-

Most patients who develop pulmonary toxicity

related to amiodarone recover once the drug is dis-

continued [777883ndash85]

Idiopathic lymphoid interstitial pneumonia

LIP is a clinical pathologic entity that fits

descriptively within the chronic interstitial pneumo-

nias By consensus LIP has been included in the

current classification of the idiopathic interstitial

pneumonias despite decades of controversy about

what diseases are encompassed by this term In 1969

Liebow and Carrington [3] briefly presented a group

of patients and used the term LIP to describe their

biopsy findings The defining criteria were morphol-

ogic and included lsquolsquoan exquisitely interstitial infil-

tratersquorsquo that was described as generally polymorphous

and consisted of lymphocytes plasma cells and large

mononuclear cells (Fig 38) Several associated

clinical conditions have been described including

connective tissue diseases bone marrow transplanta-

tion acquired and congenital immunodeficiency

syndromes and diffuse lymphoid hyperplasia of the

intestine This disease is considered idiopathic only

when a cause or association cannot be identified

The idiopathic form of LIP occurs most com-

monly between the ages of 50 and 70 but children

may be affected Women are more commonly

affected than men Cough dyspnea and progressive

shortness of breath occur and often are accompanied

by weight loss fever and adenopathy Dysproteine-

by variable fibrosis at scanning magnification Multi-

nucleated giant cells small granulomas and cysts may

Fig 39 LIP The histopathologic hallmarks of the LIP

pattern include lsquolsquoan exquisitely interstitial infiltratersquorsquo that

must be proven to be polymorphous (not clonal) and consists

of lymphocytes plasma cells and large mononuclear cells

neutrophils fill the alveolar spaces the disease is usually

acute clinically and bacterial pneumonia leads the differ-

ential diagnosis Neutrophils are accompanied by necrosis

mia with abnormalities in gamma globulin production

is reported and pulmonary function studies show

restriction with abnormal gas exchange The pre-

dominant HRCT finding is ground-glass opacifica-

tion [90] although thickening of the bronchovascular

bundles and thin-walled cysts may be seen [90]

LIP is best thought of as a histopathologic pattern

rather than a diagnosis because LIP as proposed

initially has morphologic features that are difficult to

separate accurately from other lymphoplasmacellular

interstitial infiltrates including low-grade lymphomas

of extranodal marginal zone type (maltoma) The LIP

pattern requires clinical and laboratory correlation for

accurate assessment similar to organizing pneumo-

nia NSIP and DIP The histopathologic hallmarks of

the LIP pattern include diffuse interstitial infiltration

by lymphocytes plasmacytoid lymphocytes plasma

cells and histiocytes (Fig 39) Giant cells and small

granulomas may be present [91] Honeycombing with

interstitial fibrosis can occur Immunophenotyping

shows lack of clonality in the lymphoid infiltrate

When LIP accompanies HIV infection a wide age

range occurs and it is commonly found in children

[92ndash95] These HIV-infected patients have the same

nonspecific respiratory symptoms but weight loss is

more common Other features of HIV and AIDS

such as lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly

are also more common Mean survival is worse than

that of LIP alone with adults living an average of

14 months and children an average of 32 months

[96] The morphology of LIP with or without HIV

is similar

Pattern 4 interstitial lung diseases dominated by

airspace filling

A significant number of ILDs are attended or

dominated by the presence of material filling the

alveolar spaces Depending on the composition of

this airspace filling process a narrow differential

diagnosis typically emerges The prototype for the

airspace filling pattern is organizing pneumonia in

which immature fibroblasts (myofibroblasts) form

polypoid growths within the terminal airways and

alveoli Organizing pneumonia is a common and

nonspecific reaction to lung injury Other material

also can occur in the airspaces such as neutrophils in

the case of bacterial pneumonia proteinaceous

material in alveolar proteinosis and even bone in

so-called lsquolsquoracemosersquorsquo or dendritic calcification

Neutrophils

When neutrophils fill the alveolar spaces the

disease is usually acute clinically and bacterial

pneumonia leads the differential diagnosis (Fig 40)

Rarely immunologically mediated pulmonary hem-

orrhage can be associated with brisk episodes of

neutrophilic capillaritis these cells can shed into the

alveolar spaces and mimic bronchopneumonia

Organizing pneumonia

When fibroblasts fill the alveolar spaces the

appropriate pathologic term is lsquolsquoorganizing pneumo-

KO Leslie Clin Chest Med 25 (2004) 657ndash703 683

niarsquorsquo although many clinicians believe that this is an

automatic indictment of infection Unfortunately the

lung has a limited capacity for repair after any injury

and organizing pneumonia often is a part of this

process regardless of the exact mechanism of injury

The more generic term lsquolsquoairspace organizationrsquorsquo is

preferable but longstanding habits are hard to

change Some of the more common causes of the

organizing pneumonia pattern are presented in Box 7

One particular form of diffuse lung disease is

characterized by airspace organization and is idio-

pathic This clinicopathologic condition was previ-

ously referred to as lsquolsquoidiopathic bronchiolitis obliterans

organizing pneumoniarsquorsquo (idiopathic BOOP) The name

of this disorder recently was changed to COP

Idiopathic cryptogenic organizing pneumonia

In 1983 Davison et al [97] described a group of

patients with COP and 2 years later Epler et al [98]

described similar cases as idiopathic BOOP The pro-

cess described in these series is believed to be the

same [1] as those cases described by Liebow and

Carrington in 1969 as lsquolsquoidiopathic bronchiolitis oblit-

erans interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo [3] Currently a rea-

sonable consensus has emerged regarding what is

being called COP [97ndash100] King and Mortensen

[101] recently compiled the findings from 4 major

case series reported from North America adding 18

of their own cases (112 cases in all) Based on

these compiled data the following description of

COP emerges

The evolution of clinical symptoms is subacute

(4 months on average and 3 months in most) and

follows a flu-like illness in 40 of cases The average

age at presentation is 58 years (range 21ndash80 years)

and there is no sex predominance Dyspnea and

cough are present in half the patients Fever is

common and leukocytosis occurs in approximately

one fourth The erythrocyte sedimentation rate is

typically elevated [102] Clubbing is rare Restrictive

lung disease is present in approximately half of the

patients with COP and the diffusing capacity is

reduced in most Airflow obstruction is mild and

typically affects patients who are smokers

Chest radiographs show patchy bilateral (some-

times unilateral) nonsegmental airspace consolidation

[103] which may be migratory and similar to those of

eosinophilic pneumonia Reticulation may be seen in

10 to 40 of patients but rarely is predominant

[103104] The most characteristic HRCT features of

COP are patchy unilateral or bilateral areas of

consolidation which have a predominantly peribron-

chial or subpleural distribution (or both) in approxi-

mately 60 of cases In 30 to 50 of cases small

ill-defined nodules (3ndash10 mm in diameter) are seen

[105ndash108] and a reticular pattern is seen in 10 to

30 of cases

The major histopathologic feature of COP is

alveolar space organization (so-called lsquolsquoMasson

bodiesrsquorsquo) but it also extends to involve alveolar ducts

and respiratory bronchioles in which the process has

a characteristic polypoid and fibromyxoid appearance

(Fig 41) The parenchymal involvement tends to be

patchy All of the organization seems to be recent

Unfortunately the term BOOP has become one of the

most commonly misused descriptions in lung pathol-

ogy much to the dismay of clinicians Pathologists

use the term to describe nonspecific organization that

occurs in alveolar ducts and alveolar spaces of lung

biopsies Clinicians hear the term BOOP or BOOP

pattern and often interpret this as a clinical diagnosis

of idiopathic BOOP Because of this misuse there is a

growing consensus [101109] regarding use of the

term COP to describe the clinicopathologic entity for

the following reasons (1) Although COP is primarily

an organizing pneumonia in up to 30 or more of

cases granulation tissue is not present in membra-

nous bronchioles and at times may not even be seen

Fig 41 Pattern 4 alveolar filling COP The major

histopathologic feature of COP is alveolar space organiza-

tion (so-called Masson bodies) but this also extends to

appearance (center)

KO Leslie Clin Chest Med 25 (2004) 657ndash703684

in respiratory bronchioles [97] (2) The term lsquolsquobron-

chiolitis obliteransrsquorsquo has been used in so many

different ways that it has become a highly ambiguous

term (3) Bronchiolitis generally produces obstruction

to airflow and COP is primarily characterized by a

restrictive defect

The expected prognosis of COP is relatively good

In 63 of affected patients the condition resolves

mainly as a response to systemic corticosteroids

Twelve percent die typically in approximately

3 months The disease persists in the remaining sub-

set or relapses if steroids are tapered too quickly

Patients with COP who fare poorly frequently have

comorbid disorders such as connective tissue disease

or thyroiditis or have been taking nitrofurantoin

[110] A recent study showed that the presence of

reticular opacities in a patient with COP portended

a worse prognosis [111]

Macrophages

Macrophages are an integral part of the lungrsquos

defense system These cells are migratory and

generally do not accumulate in the lung to a

significant degree in the absence of obstruction of

the airways or other pathology In smokers dusty

brown macrophages tend to accumulate around the

terminal airways and peribronchiolar alveolar spaces

and in association with interstitial fibrosis The

cigarette smokingndashrelated airway disease known as

respiratory bronchiolitisndashassociated ILD is discussed

later in this article with the smoking-related ILDs

Beyond smoking some infectious diseases are

characterized by a prominent alveolar macrophage

reaction such as the malacoplakia-like reaction to

Rhodococcus equi infection in the immunocompro-

mised host or the mucoid pneumonia reaction to

cryptococcal pneumonia Conditions associated with

a DIP-like reaction are presented in Box 8

Eosinophilic pneumonia

Acute eosinophilic pneumonia was discussed

earlier with the acute ILDs but the acute and chronic

forms of eosinophilic pneumonia often are accom-

panied by a striking macrophage reaction in the

airspaces Different from the macrophages in a

patient with smoking-related macrophage accumula-

tion the macrophages of eosinophilic pneumonia

tend to have a brightly eosinophilic appearance and

are plump with dense cytoplasm Multinucleated

forms may occur and the macrophages may aggre-

gate in sufficient density to suggest granulomas in the

alveolar spaces When this occurs a careful search

for eosinophils in the alveolar spaces and reactive

KO Leslie Clin Chest Med 25 (2004) 657ndash703 685

type II cell hyperplasia is often helpful in distinguish-

ing eosinophilic lung disease from other conditions

characterized by a histiocytic reaction

Idiopathic desquamative interstitial pneumonia

In 1965 Liebow et al [112] described 18 cases of

diffuse lung diseases that differed in many respects

from UIP The striking histologic feature was the pre-

sence of numerous cells filling the airspaces Liebow

et al believed that the cells were chiefly desquamated

alveolar epithelial lining cells and coined the term

lsquolsquodesquamative interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo It is currently

known that these cells are predominately macro-

phages however [113] DIP and the cigarette smok-

ingndashrelated disease known as RB-ILD are believed to

be similar if not identical diseases possibly repre-

senting different expressions of disease severity [115]

RB-ILD is discussed later in this article in the section

on smoking-related diffuse lung disease

The patients described by Liebow et al [112] were

on average slightly younger than patients with UIP

and their symptoms were usually milder Clubbing

was uncommon but in later series some patients with

clubbing were identified [4] Most patients have a

subacute lung disease of weeks to months of evo-

lution The predominant finding on the radiograph and

HRCT in patients with DIP consists of ground-glass

opacities particularly at the bases and at the costo-

phrenic angles [115] Some patients have mild reticu-

lar changes superimposed on ground-glass opacities

In lung biopsy the scanning magnification

appearance of DIP is striking (Fig 42) The alveolar

spaces are filled with lightly pigmented (brown)

macrophages and multinucleated cells are commonly

Fig 42 DIP The scanning magnification appearance of DIP is strik

(brown) macrophages and multinucleated cells are commonly pre

present Additional important features include the

relative preservation of lung architecture with only

mild thickening of alveolar walls and absence of

severe fibrosis or honeycombing [116ndash118] Inter-

stitial mononuclear inflammation is seen sometimes

with scattered lymphoid follicles The histologic

appearance of DIP is not specific It is commonly

present in other diffuse and localized lung diseases

including UIP asbestosis [119] and other dust-

related diseases [120] DIP-like reactions occur after

nitrofurantoin therapy [121122] and in alveolar

spaces adjacent to the nodules of PLCH (see later

section on smoking-related diseases)

Cases have been reported in which classic DIP

lsquolsquoprogressed to fibrosing alveolitisrsquorsquo [117123] It

seems clear that DIP represents a nonspecific reaction

and more commonly occurs in smokers It is critical

to distinguish between DIP and UIP especially

because these diseases are regarded as different from

one another Research has shown conclusively that

the clinical features are different the prognosis is

much better in DIP and DIP may respond to

corticosteroid administration [124] whereas UIP

does not [62]

Proteinaceous material

When eosinophilic material fills the alveolar

spaces the differential diagnosis includes pulmonary

edema and alveolar proteinosis

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis

PAP (alveolar lipoproteinosis) is a rare diffuse

lung disease characterized by the intra-alveolar

ing (A) The alveolar spaces are filled with lightly pigmented

sent (B)

Fig 44 PAP Embedded clumps of dense globular granules

and cholesterol clefts are seen

KO Leslie Clin Chest Med 25 (2004) 657ndash703686

accumulation of lipid-rich eosinophilic material

[125] PAP likely occurs as a result of overproduction

of surfactant by type II cells impaired clearance of

surfactant by alveolar macrophages or a combination

of these mechanisms The disease can occur as an

idiopathic form but also occurs in the settings of

occupational disease (especially dust-related) drug-

induced injury hematologic diseases and in many

settings of immunodeficiency [125ndash128] PAP is

commonly associated with exposure to inhaled

crystalline material and silica although other sub-

stances have been implicated [126] The idiopathic

form is the most common presentation with a male

predominance and an age range of 30 to 50 years

The usual presenting symptom is insidious dyspnea

sometimes with cough [129] although the clinical

symptoms are often less dramatic than the radio-

logic abnormalities

Chest radiographs show extensive bilateral air-

space consolidation that involves mainly the perihilar

regions CT demonstrates what seems to be smooth

thickening of lobular septa that is not seen on the

chest radiograph The thickening of lobular septae

within areas of ground-glass attenuation is character-

istic of alveolar proteinosis on CT and is referred to as

lsquolsquocrazy pavingrsquorsquo [130] The areas of ground-glass

attenuation and consolidation are often sharply

demarcated from the surrounding normal lung with-

out an apparent anatomic correlation [130ndash132]

Histopathologically the scanning magnification

appearance is distinctive if not diagnostic Pink

granular material fills the airspaces often with a

rim of retraction that separates the alveolar wall

slightly from the exudate (Fig 43) Embedded

clumps of dense globular granules and cholesterol

clefts are seen (Fig 44) The periodic-acid Schiff

PAP often with a rim of retraction that separates the alveolar

wall slightly from the exudate

stain reveals a diastase-resistant positive reaction in

the proteinaceous material of PAP Dramatic inflam-

matory changes should suggest comorbid infection

The idiopathic form of PAP has an excellent

prognosis Many patients are only mildly symptom-

atic In patients with severe dyspnea and hypoxemia

treatment can be accomplished with one or more

sessions of whole lung lavage which usually induces

remission and excellent long-term survival [133]

Pattern 5 interstitial lung diseases dominated by

nodules

Some ILDs are dominated by or significantly

associated with nodules For most of the diffuse

ILDs the nodules are small and appreciated best

under the microscope In some instances nodules

may be sufficiently large and diffuse in distribution

that they are identified on HRCT In others cases a

few large nodules may be present in two or more

lobes or bilaterally (eg Wegener granulomatosis) For

neoplasms that diffusely involve the lung the nodular

pattern is overwhelmingly represented (eg lymphan-

gitic carcinomatosis) The differential diagnosis of the

nodular pattern is presented in Box 9

Nodular granulomas

When granulomas are present in a lung biopsy the

differential diagnosis always includes infection

sarcoidosis and berylliosis aspiration pneumonia

and some lymphoproliferative diseases Hypersensi-

tivity pneumonitis is classically grouped with lsquolsquogran-

ulomatous lung diseasersquorsquo but this condition rarely

produces well-formed granulomas Hypersensitivity

pneumonia is discussed under Pattern 3 because the

pattern is more one of cellular chronic interstitial

pneumonia with granulomas being subtle

Granulomatous infection

Most nodular granulomatous reactions in the lung

are of infectious origin until proven otherwise

especially in the presence of necrosis The infectious

diseases that characteristically produce well-formed

granulomas are typically caused by mycobacteria

fungi and rarely bacteria Sometimes Pneumocystis

infection produces a nodular pattern A list of the

diffuse lung diseases associated with granulomas is

presented in Box 10

Sarcoidosis

Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease

of uncertain origin The disease commonly affects the

lungs [134135] The origin pathogenesis and

epidemiology of sarcoidosis suggest that it is a

disorder of immune regulation [136ndash138] The

observation that sarcoid granulomas recur after lung

transplantation [139ndash141] seems to underscore fur-

ther the notion that this is an acquired systemic

abnormality of immunity It also emphasizes the fact

that even profound immunosuppression (such as that

used in transplantation) may be ineffective in halting

disease progression for the subset whose condition

persists and progresses to lung fibrosis

Sarcoidosis occurs most frequently in young

adults but has been described in all ages There is a

decreased incidence of sarcoidosis in cigarette smok-

ers Many patients with intrathoracic sarcoidosis are

symptom free Systemic manifestations may be

identified (in decreasing frequency) in lymph nodes

eyes liver skin spleen salivary glands bone heart

and kidneys Breathlessness is the most common

pulmonary symptom

The chest radiographic appearance is often char-

acteristic with a combination of symmetrical bilateral

hilar and paratracheal lymph node enlargement

together with a varied pattern of parenchymal

involvement including linear nodular and ground-

glass opacities [142] In approximately 25 of the

patients the radiographic appearance is atypical and

in approximately 10 it is normal [143] Staging of

the disease is based on pattern of involvement on

plain chest radiographs only [135142]

The histopathologic hallmark of sarcoidosis is the

presence of well-formed granulomas without necrosis

(Fig 45) Granulomas are classically distributed

along lymphatic channels of the bronchovascular

bundles interlobular septa and pleura (Fig 46) The

area between granulomas is frequently sclerotic and

adjacent small granulomas tend to coalesce into larger

nodules Because of involvement of the broncho-

vascular bundles and the characteristic histology

sarcoidosis is one of the few diffuse lung diseases

that can be diagnosed with a high degree of success

by transbronchial biopsy (Fig 47) [144] Although

necrosis is not a feature of the disease sometimes

bifurcation of a bronchiole which makes it an excellent

target for biopsy

KO Leslie Clin Chest Med 25 (2004) 657ndash703688

foci of granular eosinophilic material may be seen at

the center of the granulomas The lsquolsquodirtyrsquorsquo necrosis so

typical of mycobacterial and fungal disease granu-

lomas is not seen Distinctive inclusions may be

present within giant cells in the granulomas such as

asteroid and Schaumannrsquos bodies (Fig 48) but these

can be seen in other granulomatous diseases There

is a generally held belief that a mild interstitial inflam-

matory infiltrate accompanies granulomas in sar-

coidosis [145ndash147] If this lsquolsquointerstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo

of sarcoidosis exists it is subtle in the best example

and consists of a few lymphocytes mononuclear

cells and macrophages

The prognosis for patients with sarcoidosis is

excellent The disease typically resolves or improves

Fig 46 Sarcoidosis Granulomas are classically distributed

along lymphatic channels in sarcoidosis that involves the

bronchovascular bundles interlobular septae and pleura

with only 5 to 10 of patients developing signifi-

cant pulmonary fibrosis Most patients recover com-

pletely with minimal residual disease

Berylliosis

Occupational exposure to beryllium was first

recognized as a health hazard in fluorescent lamp

factory workers The use of beryllium in this industry

was discontinued but because of berylliumrsquos remark-

able structural characteristics it continues to be used

in metallic alloy and oxide forms in numerous

industries Berylliosis may occur as acute and chronic

forms The acute disease is usually seen in refinery

Fig 48 Sarcoidosis Distinctive inclusions may be present

within giant cells in the granulomas such as this asteroid

body These are not specific for sarcoidosis and are not seen

in every case

workers and produces DAD Chronic berylliosis is a

multiorgan disease but the lung is most severely

affected The radiologic findings are similar to

sarcoidosis except that hilar and mediastinal aden-

opathy is seen in only 30 to 40 of cases compared

with 80 to 90 in sarcoidosis [148149] Beryllio-

sis is characterized by nonnecrotizing lung paren-

chymal granulomas indistinguishable from those of

sarcoidosis [150]

Nodular lymphohistiocytic lesions (lymphoid cells

lymphoid follicles variable histiocytes)

Follicular bronchiolitis

When lymphoid germinal centers (secondary

lymphoid follicles) are present in the lung biopsy

(Fig 49) the differential diagnosis always includes a

lung manifestation of RA Sjogrenrsquos syndrome or

other systemic connective tissue disease immuno-

globulin deficiency diffuse lymphoid hyperplasia

and malignant lymphoma When in doubt immuno-

histochemical studies and molecular techniques may

be useful in excluding a neoplastic process

Diffuse panbronchiolitis

Diffuse panbronchiolitis can produce a dramatic

diffuse nodular pattern in lung biopsies This

condition is a distinctive form of chronic bronchi-

olitis seen almost exclusively in people of East

Asian descent (ie Japan Korea China) Diffuse

panbronchiolitis may occur rarely in individuals in

the United States [151ndash153] and in patients of non-

Asian descent

Fig 49 Follicular bronchiolitis Lymphoid germinal cen-

ters (secondary lymphoid follicles) are present around a

severely compromised bronchiole in this case of follicu-

lar bronchiolitis

Severe chronic inflammation is centered on

respiratory bronchioles early in the disease followed

by involvement of distal membranous bronchioles

and peribronchiolar alveolar spaces as the disease

progresses A characteristic low magnification ap-

pearance is that of nodular bronchiolocentric lesions

(Fig 50) The characteristic and nearly diagnostic

feature of diffuse panbronchiolitis is the accumulation

of many pale vacuolated macrophages in the walls

and lumens of respiratory bronchioles and in adjacent

airspaces (Fig 51) Japanese investigators suspect

that the condition occurs in the United States and has

been underrecognized This view was substantiated

by a study of 81 US patients previously diagnosed

with cellular chronic bronchiolitis [151] On review 7

of these patients were reclassified as having diffuse

panbronchiolitis (86)

Nodules of neoplastic cells

Isolated nodules of neoplastic cells occur com-

monly as primary and metastatic cancer in the lung

When nodules of neoplastic cells are seen in the

radiologic context of ILD lymphangitic carcinoma-

tosis leads the differential diagnosis LAM also can

produce diffuse ILD typically with small nodules

and cysts LAM is discussed later in this article under

Pattern 6 PLCH also can produce small nodules and

cysts diffusely in the lung (typically in the upper lung

zones) and this entity is discussed with the smoking-

related interstitial diseases

Lymphangitic carcinomatosis

Pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis (lym-

phangitis carcinomatosa) is a form of metastatic

carcinoma that involves the lung primarily within

lymphatics The disease produces a miliary nodular

pattern at scanning magnification Lymphangitic

carcinoma is typically adenocarcinoma The most

common sites of origin are breast lung and stomach

although primary disease in pancreas ovary kidney

and uterine cervix also can give rise to this

manifestation of metastatic spread Patients often

present with insidious onset of dyspnea that is

frequently accompanied by an irritating cough The

radiographic abnormalities include linear opacities

Kerley B lines subpleural edema and hilar and

mediastinal lymph node enlargement [154] The

HRCT findings are highly characteristic and accu-

rately reflect the microscopic distribution in this

disease with uneven thickening of the bronchovas-

cular bundles and lobular septa which gives them a

beaded appearance [155156]

Histopathologically malignant tumor cells are

typically present in small aggregates within lym-

phatic channels of the bronchovascular sheath and

pleura (Fig 52) Variable amounts of tumor may be

present throughout the lung in the interstitium of the

alveolar walls in the airspaces and in small muscular

pulmonary arteries This latter finding (microangio-

pathic obliterative endarteritis) may be the origin of

the edema inflammation and interstitial fibrosis that

frequently accompany the disease and likely accounts

for the clinical and radiologic impression of nonneo-

plastic diffuse lung disease [154157]

Pattern 6 interstitial lung disease with subtle

findings in surgical biopsies (chronic evolution)

A limited differential diagnosis is invoked by the

relative absence of abnormalities in a surgical lung

biopsy (Box 11) Three main categories of disease

emerge in this setting (1) diseases of the small

Fig 53 Rheumatoid bronchiolitis In this example of

rheumatoid bronchiolitis complex bronchiolar metaplasia

involves a membranous bronchiole accompanied by fol-

licular bronchiolitis Small rheumatoid nodules (similar to

those that occur around the joints) also can be seen

occasionally in the walls of airways which results in partial

or total occlusion

airways (eg constrictive bronchiolitis) (2) vasculo-

pathic conditions (eg pulmonary hypertension) and

(3) two diseases that may be dominated by cysts the

rare disease known as LAM and PLCH in the in-

active or healed phase of the disease All of these may

be dramatic in biopsy specimens but when con-

fronted with the lsquolsquonearly normalrsquorsquo lung biopsy in a pa-

tient with significant clinical disease these three

groups of diseases dominate the differential diagnosis

Small airways disease and constrictive bronchiolitis

Obliteration of the small membranous bronchioles

can occur as a result of infection toxic inhalational

exposure drugs systemic connective tissue diseases

and as an idiopathic form Outside of the setting of

lung transplantation in which so-called lsquolsquobronchio-

litis obliteransrsquorsquo (having histopathology similar to

constrictive bronchiolitis) occurs as a chronic mani-

festation of organ rejection the diagnosis presents a

challenge for pulmonologists and pathologists alike

In this section we present a few recognized forms of

nonndashtransplant-associated constrictive bronchiolitis

Irritants and infections

Many irritant gases can produce severe bronchi-

olitis This inflammatory injury may be followed by

the accumulation of loose granulation tissue and

finally by complete stenosis and occlusion of the

airways The best known of these agents are nitrogen

dioxide [158] sulfur dioxide [159] and ammonia

[160] Viral infection also can cause permanent

bronchiolar injury particularly adenovirus infection

[161] Mycoplasma pneumonia is also cited as a

potential cause [162] The course of events is similar

to that for the toxic gases Variable degrees of

bronchiectasis or bronchioloectasis may occur sec-

ondarily up- and downstream from the area of

occlusion Lung biopsy is performed rarely and then

usually because the patient is young and unusual

airflow obstruction is present Occasionally mixed

obstruction and restriction may occur presumably on

the basis of diffuse peribronchiolar scarring This

airway-associated scarring may produce CT findings

of lsquolsquointerstitialrsquorsquo disease The airway lesions are subtle

but can be recognized by variable reduction in

bronchiolar luminal diameter compared with the

adjacent pulmonary artery branch (Normally these

should be roughly equal in diameter when viewed

as cross-sections) The diagnosis depends on careful

clinical correlation and sometimes the addition of a

comparison between inspiratory and expiratory

HRCT scans which typically shows prominent

mosaic air trapping

Rheumatoid bronchiolitis

Patients with RA may develop constrictive bron-

chiolitis as a consequence of their disease In some

patients small rheumatoid nodules can be seen in the

walls of airways which results in their partial or total

occlusion (Fig 53) From a practical point of view

the lesions are focal within the airways often in small

bronchi and may not be visualized easily in the

biopsy specimen Because of the widespread recog-

nition of rheumatoid bronchiolitis biopsy is rarely

performed in these patients Morphologically scat-

tered occlusion of small bronchi and bronchioles is

observed and is associated with the presence of loose

connective tissue in their lumens

Neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia with occlusive

bronchiolar fibrosis

In 1992 Aguayo et al [163] reported six patients

with moderate chronic airflow obstruction all of

whom never smoked Diffuse neuroendocrine cell

hyperplasia of the bronchioles associated with partial

or total occlusion of airway lumens by fibrous tissue

was present in all six patients (Fig 54) Three of the

patients also had peripheral carcinoid tumors and

three had progressive dyspnea

In a study of 25 peripheral carcinoid tumors that

occurred in smokers and nonsmokers Miller and

Muller [164] identified 19 patients (76) with

neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of the airways which

occurred mostly in bronchioles Eight patients (32)

Fig 54 Neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia with occlusive bronchiolar fibrosis (A) Diffuse neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of the

bronchioles associated with partial or total occlusion of airway lumens by fibrous tissue is a rare cause of unexplained airflow

obstruction (B) An immunohistochemical stain for the neuroendocrine marker synaptophysin stains the hyperplastic

neuroendocrine cells red (Immuno-alkaline phosphatase method red chromogen)

Fig 55 Cryptogenic constrictive bronchiolitis is commonly

recognized as an expression of chronic organ rejection in the

setting of lung transplantation (bronchiolitis obliterans

syndrome) It also occurs on the basis of many other injuries

and exists as an idiopathic form In this photograph taken

from a biopsy in a lung transplant patient the bronchiole can

be seen at center right but the lumen is filled with loose

fibroblasts (note the adjacent pulmonary artery upper left)

were found to have occlusive bronchiolar fibrosis

Four of the 8 had mild chronic airflow obstruction

and 2 of these 4 patients were nonsmokers

An increase in neuroendocrine cells was present in

more than 20 of bronchioles examined in lung

adjacent to the tumor and in tissue blocks taken well

away from tumor Less than half of these airways

were partially or totally occluded The mildest lesion

consisted of linear zones of neuroendocrine cell

hyperplasia with focal subepithelial fibrosis The

most severely involved bronchioles showed total

luminal occlusion by fibrous tissue with few visible

neuroendocrine cells

In both of these studies most of the patients with

airway neuroendocrine hyperplasia were women Pre-

sumably fibrosis in this setting of neuroendocrine

hyperplasia is related to one or more peptides se-

creted by neuroendocrine cells possibly these cells are

more effective in stimulating airway fibrosis inwomen

Cryptogenic constrictive bronchiolitis

Unexplained chronic airflow obstruction that

occurs in nonsmokers may be a result of selective

(and likely multifocal) obliteration of the membra-

nous bronchioles (constrictive bronchiolitis) In a

study of 2094 patients with a forced expiratory

volume in the first second (FEV1) of less than

60 of predicted [165] 10 patients (9 women) were

identified They ranged in age from 27 to 60 years

Five were found to have RA and presumably

rheumatoid bronchiolitis The other 5 had airflow

obstruction of unknown cause believed to be caused

by lsquolsquobronchiolitisrsquorsquo Other studies also identified a

cryptogenic form of bronchiolar disease that produces

airflow obstruction [166167] When biopsies have

been performed constrictive bronchiolitis seems to

be the common pathologic manifestation (Fig 55)

It is fair to conclude that a rare but fairly distinct

clinical syndrome exists that consists of mild airflow

obstruction and usually affects middle-aged women

who manifest nonspecific respiratory symptoms

Fig 56 Vasculopathic disease Diseases that involve the small arteries and veins of the lung can be subtle when viewed from low

magnification under the microscope (A) At higher magnification scattered plexiform vascular lesions (B) are present in this

example of primary pulmonary hypertension

entities of pulmonary hypertension capillary hemangioma-

such as cough and dyspnea It is possible that these

cryptogenic cases of constrictive bronchiolitis are

manifestations of undeclared systemic connective

tissue disease the sequelae of prior undetected

community-acquired infections (eg viral myco-

plasmal chlamydial) or exposure to toxin

Interstitial lung disease dominated by

airway-associated scarring

A form of small airway-associated ILD has been

described in recent years under the names lsquolsquoidiopathic

bronchiolocentric interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo [168] and

lsquolsquoairway-centered interstitial fibrosisrsquorsquo [169] Affected

patients have more of a restrictive than obstructive

functional deficit and the process is characterized

histopathologically by the presence of significant

small airwayndashassociated scarring similar to that seen

in forms of chronic hypersensitivity pneumonia

certain chronic inhalational injuries (including sub-

clinical chronic aspiration pneumonia) and even

some examples of late-stage inactive PLCH (which

typically lacks characteristic Langerhansrsquo cells) This

morphologic group may pose diagnostic challenges

because of the absence of interstitial inflammatory

changes despite the radiologic and functional impres-

sion of ILD

Vasculopathic disease

Diseases that involve the small arteries and veins

of the lung can be subtle when viewed from low

magnification under the microscope (Fig 56) This is

not to imply that the entities of pulmonary hyper-

tension capillary hemangiomatosis and veno-occlu-

sive disease are always subtle (Fig 57) A complete

discussion of these disease conditions is beyond the

scope of this article however when the lung biopsy

has little pathology evident at scanning magnifica-

tion a careful evaluation of the pulmonary arteries

and veins is always in order

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis

Pulmonary LAM is a rare disease characterized by

an abnormal proliferation of smooth muscle cells in

Fig 59 LAM The walls of these spaces have variable

amounts of bundled spindled and slightly disorganized

smooth muscle cells

KO Leslie Clin Chest Med 25 (2004) 657ndash703694

the pulmonary interstitium and associated with the

formation of cysts [170ndash173] The disease is

centered on lymphatic channels blood vessels and

airways LAM is a disease of women typically in

their childbearing years The disease does occur in

older women and rarely in men [174] There is a

strong association between the inherited genetic

disorder known as tuberous sclerosis complex and

the occurrence of LAM Most patients with LAM do

not have tuberous sclerosis complex but approxi-

mately one fourth of patients with tuberous sclerosis

complex have LAM as diagnosed by chest HRCT

[175] The most common presenting symptoms are

spontaneous pneumothorax and exertional dyspnea

Others symptoms include chyloptosis hemoptysis

and chest pain The characteristic findings on CT are

numerous cysts separated by normal-appearing lung

parenchyma The cysts range from 2 to 10 mm in

diameter and are seen much better with HRCT

[171176]

The appearance of the abnormal smooth muscle in

LAM is sufficiently characteristic so that once

recognized it is rarely forgotten Cystic spaces are

present at low magnification (Fig 58) The walls of

these spaces have variable amounts of bundled

spindled cells (Fig 59) The nuclei of these spindled

cells (Fig 60) are larger than those of normal smooth

muscle bundles seen around alveolar ducts or in the

walls of airways or vessels Immunohistochemical

staining is positive in these cells using antibodies

directed against the melanoma markers HMB45 and

Mart-1 (Fig 61) These findings may be useful in the

evaluation of transbronchial biopsy in which only a

Fig 58 LAM Cystic spaces are present at low

magnification

few spindled cells may be present Actin desmin

estrogen receptors and progesterone receptors also

can be demonstrated in the spindled cells of LAM

[177] Other lung parenchymal abnormalities may be

present including peculiar nodules of hyperplastic

pneumocytes (Fig 62) that lack immunoreactivity

for HMB45 or Mart-1 but show immunoreactivity for

cytokeratins and surfactant apoproteins [178] These

epithelial lesions have been referred to as lsquolsquomicro-

nodular pneumocyte hyperplasiarsquorsquo

The expected survival is more than 10 years

suggests that the rate of progression can vary widely

idiopathic interstitial pneumonia In this section we

present two additional well-recognized smoking-

related diseases the first of which is related to DIP

and likely represents an earlier stage or alternate

manifestation along a spectrum of macrophage

accumulation in the lung in the context of cigarette

smoking Conceptually respiratory bronchiolitis

RB-ILD DIP and PLCH can be viewed as interre-

lated components in the setting of cigarette smoking

(Fig 63)

Respiratory bronchiolitisndashassociated interstitial lung

disease

Respiratory bronchiolitis is a common finding in

the lungs of cigarette smokers and some investiga-

tors consider this lesion to be a precursor of centri-

acinar emphysema Respiratory bronchiolitis affects

the terminal airways and is characterized by delicate

fibrous bands that radiate from the peribronchiolar

connective tissue into the surrounding lung (Fig 64)

Dusty appearing tan-brown pigmented alveolar

macrophages are present in the adjacent airspaces

and a mild amount of interstitial chronic inflamma-

tion is present Bronchiolar metaplasia (extension of

terminal airway epithelium to alveolar ducts) is

usually present to some degree In the bronchioles

submucosal fibrosis may be present but constrictive

changes are not a characteristic finding When

respiratory bronchiolitis becomes extensive and

patients have signs and symptoms of ILD use of

the term RB-ILD has been suggested [180181] The

exact relationship between RB-ILD and DIP is

unclear and in smokers these two conditions are

probably part of a continuous spectrum of disease

Symptoms of RB-ILD include dyspnea excess

sputum production and cough [182] Rarely patients

may be asymptomatic Men are slightly more

can be viewed as interrelated components in the setting of

cigarette smoking

airways of smokers and is characterized by delicate fibrous

bands that radiate from the peribronchiolar connective tissue

into the surrounding lung Scant peribronchiolar chronic

inflammation is typically present and brown pigmented

smokers macrophages are seen in terminal airways and

peribronchiolar alveoli

Fig 65 In RB-ILD denser aggregates of lightly pigmented

macrophages are present in the airspaces around the

terminal airways with variable bronchiolar metaplasia

and more interstitial fibrosis than seen in simple respira-

tory bronchiolitis

nature of the disease is important in differentiating RB-

ILD from DIP

commonly affected than women and the mean age of

onset is approximately 36 years (range 22ndash53 years)

The average pack year smoking history is 32 (range

7ndash75)

Most patients with respiratory bronchiolitis alone

have normal radiologic studies The most common

findings in RB-ILD include thickening of the

bronchial walls ground-glass opacities and poorly

defined centrilobular nodular opacities [183] Be-

cause most patients with RB-ILD are heavy smokers

centrilobular emphysema is common

On histopathologic examination lightly pig-

mented macrophages are present in the airspaces

around the terminal airways with variable bronchiolar

metaplasia (Fig 65) Iron stains may reveal delicate

positive staining within these cells The relatively

patchy nature of the disease is important in differ-

entiating RB-ILD from DIP (Fig 66) A spectrum of

pathologic severity emerges with isolated lesions of

respiratory bronchiolitis on one end and diffuse

macrophage accumulation in DIP on the other RB-

ILD exists somewhere in between The diagnosis of

RB-ILD should be reserved for situations in which

respiratory bronchiolitis is prominent with associated

clinical and pathologic ILD [184] No other cause for

ILD should be apparent The prognosis is excellent

and there does not seem to be evidence for pro-

gression to end-stage fibrosis in the absence of other

lung disease

Pulmonary Langerhansrsquo cell histiocytosis

PLCH (formerly known as pulmonary eosino-

philic granuloma or pulmonary histiocytosis X) is

currently recognized as a lung disease strongly

associated with cigarette smoking Proliferation of

Langerhansrsquo cells is associated with the formation of

stellate airway-centered lung scars and cystic change

in affected individuals The incidence of the disease is

unknown but it is generally considered to be a rare

complication of cigarette smoking [185]

Fig 67 PLCH The classic lsquolsquoMedusa-headrsquorsquo lesion of PLCH

is illustrated in this figure Tractional emphysema with cyst

formation is typical at the perimeter of the lesions Fig 69 PLCH The Langerhansrsquo cell has a slightly pale

basophilic nucleus with characteristic sharp nuclear folds

that resemble crumpled tissue paper

KO Leslie Clin Chest Med 25 (2004) 657ndash703 697

PLCH affects smokers between the ages of 20 and

40 The most common presenting symptom is cough

with dyspnea but some patients may be asymptom-

atic despite chest radiographic abnormalities Chest

pain fever weight loss and hemoptysis have been

reported to occur HRCT scan shows nearly patho-

gnomonic changes including predominately upper

and middle lung zone nodules and cysts [185186]

The classic lesion of PLCH is illustrated in

Fig 67 Characteristically the nodules have a stellate

shape and are always centered on the bronchioles

Fig 68 PLCH Immunohistochemistry using antibodies

directed against S100 protein and CD1a is helpful in

highlighting numerous positively stained Langerhansrsquo cells

within the cellular lesions (immunohistochemical stain using

antibodies directed against S100 protein) (immuno-alkaline

phosphatase method brown chromogen)

Pigmented alveolar macrophages and variable num-

bers of eosinophils surround and permeate the

lesions Immunohistochemistry using antibodies

directed against S100 proteinCD1a highlight numer-

ous positive Langerhansrsquo cells at the periphery of the

cellular lesions (Fig 68) The Langerhansrsquo cell has a

slightly pale basophilic nucleus with characteristic

sharp nuclear folds that resemble crumpled tissue

paper (Fig 69) One or two small nucleoli are usually

present Late lesions (so-called lsquolsquoinactiversquorsquo or

resolved PLCH) consist only of fibrotic centrilobular

scars [187] with a stellate configuration (Fig 70)

Microcysts and honeycombing may be present

resolved PLCH) consist only of fibrotic centrilobular scars

KO Leslie Clin Chest Med 25 (2004) 657ndash703698

Immunohistochemistry for S-100 protein and CD1a

may be used to confirm the diagnosis but this is

usually unnecessary and even may be confounding in

late lesions in which Langerhansrsquo cells may be

sparse and the stellate scar is the diagnostic lesion

Up to 20 of transbronchial biopsies in patients

with Langerhansrsquo cell histiocytosis may have diag-

nostic changes The presence of more than 5

Langerhansrsquo cells in bronchoalveolar lavage is

considered diagnostic of Langerhansrsquo cell histiocy-

tosis in the appropriate clinical setting Unfortunately

cigarette smokers without Langerhansrsquo cell histiocy-

tosis also may have increased numbers of Langer-

hansrsquo cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage

    that the microscope slide be evaluated first by the

    naked eye may seem overly methodical but it does

    force the interpreter to see the lsquolsquobig picturersquorsquo before

    getting lost in the fine details For nonneoplastic lung

    diseases the scanning low power objective (2 or

    4) is useful if not essential because different

    diseases give rise to different architectural patterns

    which may immediately raise a narrow differential

    diagnosis For diffuse lung diseases several helpful

    patterns emerge

    Pattern 1 acute lung injury

    The prototype of this pattern is diffuse alveolar

    damage (DAD) with hyaline membranes classically

    encountered in the clinical setting of adult respiratory

    distress syndrome (ARDS) (Fig 1)

    Pattern 2 fibrosis

    Lung diseases that lead to the accrual of collagen

    in the lung with permanent structural remodeling

    are represented by this pattern (Fig 2) Idiopathic

    pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) (pathologic usual intersti-

    tial pneumonia [UIP]) is the prototype and is often

    the diagnosis of greatest clinical concern in older

    adult patients because of the dismal prognosis of

    this condition

    Pattern 3 cellular interstitial infiltrates

    Lymphocytes plasma cells and macrophages

    are present in the alveolar walls in Pattern 3 (Fig 3)

    Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (extrinsic allergic al-

    veolitis) is the prototype of this pattern

    Pattern 4 airspace filling

    This pattern is characterized by the presence of

    cells or other material filling the alveolar spaces

    (Fig 4) Organizing pneumonia is the prototype of

    this pattern The airspace filling pattern also includes

    infectious bronchopneumonias (neutrophils in the al-

    veoli) classic Pneumocystis infection in the immu-

    nocompromised host (foamy casts in alveoli)

    pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) (proteinaceous

    material in alveoli) diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage

    (blood siderophages and patchy organizing pneumo-

    nia in alveoli) and DIP in which lightly pigmented

    lsquolsquosmokersrsquorsquo-type macrophages are the dominant intra-

    alveolar element

    Pattern 5 nodules

    The presence of discrete nodules (Fig 5) in the

    lung parenchyma raises a differential diagnosis that

    includes nodular infections benign and malignant

    neoplasms sarcoidosis Langerhansrsquo cell histiocyto-

    sis and various bronchiolocentric diseases The

    prototype is Wegenerrsquos granulomatosis (large nodular

    pattern) but small (miliary) patterns of disease also

    Pattern 6 near normal lung

    The surgical lung biopsy that has barely discern-

    ible abnormalities is often the result of diseases that

    affect the airways and blood vessels of the lung The

    changes may be subtle at low magnification The

    prototype is small airways disease in which pruning

    dilatation and generalized scarring of the small

    airways occur and this may be difficult to appreciate

    membranes classically encountered in the clinical setting of

    ARDS is the prototype of the acute lung injury pattern

    at scanning magnification Vascular diseases (eg pul-

    monary hypertension) cystic diseases (eg lymphan-

    Overlap between patterns occurs and may be a use-

    ful clue in the differential diagnosis For example

    when nearly all of the six patterns are present in the

    same biopsy specimen rheumatoid arthritis is often

    the correct diagnosis Acute lung injury also proceeds

    through several distinctive histopathologic patterns

    performed in the subacute phase of DAD airspace

    Infections

    A complete discussion of pulmonary infections

    that produce acute lung injury is beyond the scope of

    this article Bacteria fungi and viruses can produce

    acute lung injury and are the diagnosis of exclusion in

    this setting Viruses are the most common of these

    infections to cause diffuse acute lung injury The

    more common viruses that cause pneumonia and their

    Drugs and radiation reactions

    Medications taken orally or by injection may

    produce various lesions within the lung including

    DAD pulmonary edema asthma eosinophilic pneu-

    monia and even advanced fibrosis [56] For many

    drugs acute and chronic forms of toxicity have been

    reported This discussion emphasizes a few reactions

    that classically manifest as acute lung disease and

    highlight those that may produce chronic disease

    Nitrofurantoin

    Nitrofurantoin is an antimicrobial agent used in

    the treatment of urinary tract infections This agent is

    responsible for more cases of pulmonary toxicity than

    any other drug with acute and chronic reactions

    reported [78] Acute reactions are accompanied by

    The histopathologic findings are similar to those of

    occur in a few patients taking the drug and clinical

    manifestations appear after 1 to 6 months of treat-

    ment The chronic cases are more often subjected to

    biopsy and show interstitial inflammation and fibrosis

    From a clinical standpoint some drugs (eg 5-fluoro-

    uracil vinblastine cytarabine adriamycin thiotepa

    azathioprine) almost never produce pulmonary dis-

    ease With increasing numbers of newer antineo-

    plastic agents being used pulmonary toxicity

    undoubtedly will increase Excellent on-line re-

    sources that provide comprehensive and up-to-date

    lists of these agents are available [9]

    Analgesics

    Heroin [10] methadone propoxyphene and even

    aspirin can produce acute lung reactions [1112]

    Toxicity typically results from overdose and is

    characterized by pulmonary edema sometimes com-

    plicated by aspiration of gastric contents When pill

    binding agents such as talc or microcrystalline

    cellulose are injected with a drug intravenously a

    foreign body giant cell reaction may be seen in lung

    tissue in a characteristic perivascular distribution

    Radiation pneumonitis

    Radiation therapy was a common cause of acute

    lung injury before improved technology and modi-

    fications in dosing were instituted [13] Radiation

    injury can be exacerbated by infection [14] and

    chemotherapeutic drugs [15] Initial clinical signs and

    symptoms often are absent or mild In the acute

    phase chest radiographs and high-resolution CT

    (HRCT) reveal ground-glass opacities or airspace

    consolidation with some loss of lung volume

    Acute eosinophilic lung disease

    Acute lung injury that occurs in the presence of

    significant numbers of tissue eosinophils is referred

    to as lsquolsquoacute eosinophilic lung diseasersquorsquo Peripheral

    blood and bronchoalveolar lavage eosinophils are

    commonly elevated in these conditions Eosinophilia

    may not be persistent throughout the disease and

    eosinophilic vasculitis is not a prerequisite for the

    diagnosis in lung tissue Several forms have been

    described over the years the mildest of which has

    been referred to as Loeffler syndrome or simple

    eosinophilic pneumonia Ascaris infestation was

    documented eventually in the initial series by

    Loeffler which led to the hypothesis that simple

    eosinophilic pneumonia was a manifestation of

    hypersensitivity to Ascaris antigens

    The second form occurs commonly in patients

    with asthma presumably as an allergic manifestation

    to an unknown antigen The clinical course is more

    chronic and typically evolves slowly over many

    months Patients with the lsquolsquochronicrsquorsquo form of eosino-

    philic pneumonia may have a typical clinical syn-

    drome and radiographic appearance [16]

    Finally a dramatic new manifestation of idio-

    pathic eosinophilic lung disease has been described

    that is characterized by rapid onset of breathlessness

    in an otherwise healthy young adult without asthma

    [17] This form may mimic DAD clinically and patho-

    logically even with the presence of hyaline mem-

    branes The importance of recognizing this entity lies

    in its excellent prognosis and characteristic rapid

    response to corticosteroid therapy

    Some other well-recognized associations have

    been described with eosinophilic pneumonia The

    best example is that produced by sensitivity to nitro-

    furantoin and other drugs Eosinophilic pneumonia in

    the presence of asthma may be a manifestation of

    hypersensitivity to aspergillus and other fungal organ-

    isms (eg allergic bronchopulmonary fungal disease)

    The histopathologic features of eosinophilic pneu-

    monia include intra-alveolar eosinophils fibrin and

    plump eosinophilic macrophages surrounded by

    striking reactive type II cell hyperplasia (Fig 9)

    Acute fibrinous pleuritis may occur Eosinophilic

    microabscesses and eosinophilic vasculitis may be

    present but are not necessary for the diagnosis

    Acute pulmonary manifestations of the collagen

    vascular diseases

    The most common acute manifestation of the

    collagen vascular diseases is DAD but diffuse

    pulmonary hemorrhage also occurs The more com-

    mon collagen vascular diseases that produce acute

    manifestations are presented herein

    Fig 11 Acute lupus pneumonitis is a serious complication of SLE The pattern is acute lung injury (A) with or without hyaline

    membranes Diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage also may occur usually accompanied by vasculitis (B) and capillaritis

    condition typically lacks hyaline membranes but is rich in

    fibrinous alveolar exudates

    Rheumatoid arthritis

    Nearly one-half of all patients with rheumatoid

    arthritis (RA) develop one or more forms of

    rheumatoid lung disease [18] and patients with more

    severe joint involvement are more likely to develop

    pleuropulmonary manifestations Lung disease typi-

    cally follows the development of joint disease but

    occasionally the lung or pleura may herald the

    disease DAD is a well-recognized complication of

    RA [19]

    Systemic lupus erythematosus

    Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) also com-

    monly involves the lungs and pleura [18] Painful

    pleuritis with or without effusion is the most common

    abnormality [20] but acute lupus pneumonitis is a

    potentially disastrous complication with a mortality

    rate of 50 [21] Acute lupus pneumonitis is

    characterized morphologically by DAD Diffuse

    pulmonary hemorrhage also may occur usually

    accompanied by vasculitis and capillaritis (Fig 11)

    Immune complexes may be identified on capillary

    basement membranes in this setting [22]

    Dermatomyositis-polymyositis

    DAD is not common in dermatomyositis-poly-

    myositis but the clinical presentation may be

    particularly dramatic Tazelaar et al [23] presented

    14 patients with dermatomyositis-polymyositis who

    developed lung disease Three patients developed

    DAD all of whom died most frequently in the acute

    episode The authors also reviewed 27 additional

    cases of dermatomyositis-polymyositis lung disease

    reported in the literature and found similar results

    DAD may be the first clinical manifestation of

    dermatomyositis-polymyositis and may precede the

    clinical and serologic diagnosis of the disease by

    many months

    Acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia

    A new entity with some similarities to DAD

    recently has been described and it is termed lsquolsquoacute

    fibrinous and organizing pneumoniarsquorsquo [24] Acute

    fibrinous and organizing pneumonia can be patchy

    and typically lacks hyaline membranes but is rich in

    fibrinous alveolar exudates (Fig 12) without evi-

    dence of infection Like DAD acute fibrinous and

    organizing pneumonia can be idiopathic or associated

    with several underlying or associated conditions

    such as collagen vascular disease drug reaction

    and occupational exposures Survival is similar to

    DAD in general but the requirement for mechanical

    ventilation was associated with a worse prognosis

    Acute diffuse alveolar hemorrhage

    Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is character-

    ized by a triad of (1) hemoptysis (2) anemia and

    (3) bilateral ground-glass opacities (or consolidation)

    that rapidly wax and wane Hemorrhage and hemo-

    siderin-laden macrophages in alveolar spaces are

    essential to the pathologic diagnosis [25ndash27] In

    practice artifactual hemorrhage can occur commonly

    in lung biopsy specimens Hemosiderin-laden macro-

    phages (with coarsely granular golden-brown refrac-

    tile pigment) always should be present in the alveolar

    spaces before one invokes the diagnosis of DAH

    (Fig 13) The differential diagnosis of DAH is pre-

    sented in Box 4

    Antiglomerular basement membrane disease

    (Goodpasturersquos syndrome)

    When diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage occurs with

    renal disease in the presence of circulating antibodies

    against glomerular basement membranes the con-

    dition is referred to as antiglomerular basement

    membrane disease [28ndash31] Lung biopsy is less

    desirable than kidney as a diagnostic specimen in

    Fig 13 DAH Fresh blood in the lung is not sufficient

    evidence for a diagnosis of DAH Hemosiderin-laden

    macrophages with coarsely granular golden-brown refractile

    pigment always should be present

    antiglomerular basement membrane disease but

    because renal disease is commonly occult at the time

    of presentation the lung is often the first tissue

    sample examined by the pathologist Unfortunately

    the lung findings are relatively nonspecific and

    consist of fresh alveolar hemorrhage hemosiderin

    deposition in macrophages (siderophages) and vari-

    able interstitial inflammation with delicate interstitial

    fibrosis (Fig 14) The presence of capillaritis in the

    alveolar wall is also helpful in distinguishing anti-

    glomerular basement membrane disease from idio-

    pathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) and chronic

    passive lung congestion The results of immunofluo-

    rescent studies on lung tissue are not as reliable as

    they are on kidney tissue [30] and for cost-effective

    practice we generally recommend serologic confir-

    mation (radioimmunoassay or ELISA) even when

    appropriately preserved lung tissue is available

    Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage associated with the

    systemic collagen vascular diseases

    DAH may occur as a consequence of several

    immune-mediated vasculitides including those that

    occur in the setting of collagen vascular disease

    Potential causes of DAH in this setting include

    microscopic polyangiitis SLE Wegenerrsquos granulo-

    matosis cryoglobulinemia RA crescentic glomeru-

    lonephritis and scleroderma [25272930] The

    common histopathologic feature is acute capillaritis

    with or without larger vessel vasculitis (Fig 15)

    Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis

    In the absence of renal disease or demonstrable

    immunologic disease DAH has been termed IPH

    Fig 15 DAH in the collagen vascular diseases The common histo

    disease is acute capillaritis (A) with or without larger vessel vascu

    IPH occurs most commonly in children younger

    than 10 years and young adults in the second and

    third decades of life Anemia is accompanied by

    bilateral areas of consolidation on the chest radio-

    graph The sexes are equally affected in the younger

    age group but men predominate in the older age

    group The histopathology is similar to that of

    antiglomerular basement membrane disease namely

    alveolar hemorrhage and hemosiderin-laden macro-

    phages but in IPH there is less interstitial inflam-

    mation and more fibrosis (Fig 16) By definition

    Idiopathic diffuse alveolar damage acute interstitial

    pneumonia

    The term lsquolsquoacute interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo was first

    introduced in 1986 to describe a syndrome of rapidly

    evolving acute respiratory failure that occurred in

    immunocompetent individuals [32] The patients

    described included three men and five women (two

    of whom were pregnant) who developed sudden

    unexplained respiratory failure Six reported a viral-

    like prodrome None of the patients was reported to

    have underlying collagen vascular disease By

    definition acute interstitial pneumonia is of unknown

    cause and is a diagnosis of exclusion The usual

    causes of ARDS must be absent (ie shock sepsis

    trauma aspiration or drug toxicity)

    Surgical lung biopsies show DAD in varying

    stages (Fig 17) The changes observed in biopsy

    specimens depend on the stage at which the biopsy is

    taken and tend to be relatively diffuse throughout the

    specimen Like other forms of DAD the early stages

    show an exudative phase with edema and hyaline

    membranes Bronchioles may show squamous meta-

    plasia that extend peripherally to involve adjacent

    alveolar walls Organizing arterial thrombi were seen

    in five of the seven patients who died in the Kat-

    zenstein series [32] In the last stages fibrosis distorts

    the lung architecture

    Collagen vascular disease or allergic disorders

    may be responsible for many cases of acute inter-

    stitial pneumonia although they may not be clinically

    apparent at the time of presentation acute interstitial

    pneumonia has been formally added to the classi-

    fication of the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias by a

    recent international consensus committee [4]

    Pattern 2 interstitial lung disease dominated by

    fibrosis (typically months to years in evolution)

    A large number of systemic diseases inhalational

    exposures toxins and drugs and even genetic

    disorders are well known to cause scarring in the

    lungs with permanent structural remodeling A list of

    these diseases is presented in Box 5 UIP is the most

    notorious of these diseases and is the diagnosis of

    exclusion for patients over the age of 50 because of

    the dismal prognosis of this idiopathic condition In

    younger patients the systemic connective tissue

    diseases figure prominently as causes of chronic lung

    disease with fibrosis

    Pulmonary fibrosis in the systemic connective tissue

    diseases

    The collagen vascular diseases as a group involve

    the respiratory system frequently Each of these

    diseases may involve the lung and pleura in several

    different ways Although the lung morphologic

    abnormalities are not specific for any one of these

    diseases some features are more commonly mani-

    fested than others in each of them (Table 4) A few of

    the more prominent collagen vascular diseases known

    to produce fibrosis are presented herein

    Rheumatoid arthritis

    The most common thoracic complication of RA is

    pleural disease (effusion or pleuritis) which is seen in

    as much as 50 of patients in autopsy studies

    According to a study by Walker and Wright [33]

    approximately one-third of the patients with pleural

    effusions also have pulmonary manifestations of RA

    in the form of nodules or interstitial disease Nodules

    may be seen in the lung parenchyma and occasionally

    in the walls of airways in persons with RA which

    represents lymphoid hyperplasia with germinal cen-

    ters in most instances (Fig 18) The interstitial

    pneumonia of RA may be cellular with little fibrosis

    (cellular NSIP-like see later discussion) fibrotic with

    honeycomb cystic remodeling (UIP-like see later

    discussion) and occasionally may have a macro-

    phage-rich DIP pattern (discussed in Pattern 4) [19]

    Fig 17 Acute interstitial pneumonia Surgical lung biopsies show diffuse alveolar damage in varying stages In the earliest

    manifestation (A) edema in the alveolar spaces and interstitium is typical with hyaline membranes and preservation of the

    alveolar spaces As the process evolves (2ndash4 days after onset) hyaline membranes become thicker and there is greater cellularity

    in the interstitium as inflammatory cells begin to accrue (B) By the end of the first week (C) alveolar spaces are overwhelmed

    by reparative changes with myofibroblasts that produce an organizing pneumonia pattern Over the next weeks (D) the

    myofibroblasts become incorporated into the interstitium as the best outcome with reconstitution of the alveolar architecture

    Systemic lupus erythematosus

    Similar to RA SLE also commonly involves the

    respiratory system [18] Painful pleuritis with or

    without effusion is the most common abnormality

    [20] Noninfectious organizing pneumonia also has

    been reported and advanced fibrosis with honey-

    comb remodeling occurs (Fig 19) [34]

    Progressive systemic sclerosis

    The most notable feature of lsquolsquoscleroderma lungrsquorsquo

    is the presence of extensive alveolar wall fibrosis

    without much inflammation (Fig 20) [35] Some

    degree of diffuse lung fibrosis occurs in nearly every

    patient with pulmonary involvement [18] Patients

    with longstanding progressive systemic sclerosisndash

    related lung fibrosis are at high risk of developing

    bronchoalveolar carcinoma Vascular sclerosis usu-

    ally without true vasculitis is typical if sufficiently

    severe it produces pulmonary hypertension [36]

    Pleural disease is less common in progressive

    systemic sclerosis than in RA or SLE

    Mixed connective tissue disease

    Mixed connective tissue disease is relatively

    common in producing interstitial pulmonary disease

    or pleural effusions [18] In many cases the

    abnormalities respond well to corticosteroid therapy

    but severe and progressive pulmonary disease with

    fibrosis does occur A pattern of fibrosis that re-

    sembles the pattern seen in UIP (see later discussion)

    occurs and pulmonary hypertension may occur

    accompanied by plexiform lesions similar to those

    seen in persons with primary pulmonary hyperten-

    sion [37]

    DermatomyositisPolymyositis

    Several forms of ILD have been reported in der-

    matomyositispolymyositis and the histologic find-

    ings seen on biopsy seem to be better predictors of

    prognosis than clinical or radiologic features [23] A

    subacute presentation with a noninfectious organizing

    pneumonia pattern has been associated with the best

    prognosis whereas the worst prognosis has been

    associated with advanced lung fibrosis [23]

    Sjogrenrsquos syndrome

    The common pulmonary lesions of Sjogrenrsquos

    syndrome generally evolve over weeks to months

    and are analogous to the disease manifestations in the

    salivary glands The range of disease patterns in

    Sjogrenrsquos syndrome is broad especially when Sjog-

    renrsquos syndrome is accompanied by other connective

    tissue disease A hallmark of pure Sjogrenrsquos syndrome

    in the lung is marked lymphoreticular infiltrates in

    the submucosal glands of the tracheobronchial tree

    (Fig 21) [18] Patients with Sjogrenrsquos syndrome also

    are at risk for LIP and occasionally develop lympho-

    proliferative disorders that involve the pulmonary

    interstitium ranging from relatively low-grade extra-

    nodal marginal zone lymphoma (MALToma) to a

    high-grade lymphoma Advanced lung fibrosis also

    occurs as pleuropulmonary manifestation in Sjogrenrsquos

    syndrome (Fig 22) [3839]

    Certain chronic drug reactions

    Many drugs are reported to produce lung fibrosis

    among them bleomycin carmustine penicillamine ni-

    trofurantoin tocainide mexiletine amiodarone aza-

    thioprine methotrexate melphalan and mitomycin C

    Unfortunately the list of agents is growing rapidly

    and the reader is referred to on-line resources such

    as wwwpneumotoxcom [188] for continuously

    updated information on reported drug reactions Bleo-

    mycin is presented in this article because it causes sub-

    acute and chronic toxicity and has been used widely

    as an experimental model of pulmonary fibrosis

    Bleomycin

    Bleomycin is an antineoplastic agent that becomes

    concentrated in skin lungs and lymphatic fluid

    Pulmonary lesions may be dose-related [4041] and

    prior radiotherapy seems to predispose to toxicity

    [42] The initial site of injury in experimental models

    seems to be the venous endothelial cell [43] but type I

    cell injury allows fibrin and other serum proteins to

    leak into the alveolus Type II cell hyperplasia occurs

    as a regenerative phenomenon that results in atypical

    enlarged forms and intra-alveolar fibroplasia occurs

    (often in a subpleural distribution) eventually result-

    ing in alveolar septal widening (Fig 23)

    an effort to group these lsquolsquounclassifiablersquorsquo patterns of

    interstitial pneumonia Katzenstein and Fiorelli [53]

    published in 1994 a review of 64 patients whose

    biopsies showed diffuse interstitial inflammation or

    fibrosis that did not fit Liebowrsquos classification

    Katzenstein and Fiorelli subdivided their cases

    into three groups group I had diffuse interstitial

    inflammation alone (Fig 26) group II had interstitial

    inflammation and early interstitial fibrosis occurring

    together (Fig 27) and group III had denser diffuse

    interstitial fibrosis without significant active inflam-

    mation (Fig 28) These uniform injury patterns were

    judged to be separable from the lsquolsquotemporally hetero-

    geneousrsquorsquo injury seen in UIP (transitions from

    uninvolved lsquolsquonewrsquorsquo lung to lsquolsquooldrsquorsquo injury with fibrosis

    discussed under Pattern 3 later in this article

    Several significant systemic disease associations

    were identified in their population Connective tissue

    disease was identified in 16 of patients including

    RA SLE polymyositisdermatomyositis sclero-

    derma and Sjogrenrsquos syndrome Pulmonary disease

    vascular disease in some of their casesmdasha phenome-

    non well documented for some collagen vascular

    diseases such as dermatomyositispolymyositis

    Other autoimmune diseases that occurred in their

    series included Hashimotorsquos thyroiditis glomerulo-

    nephritis and primary biliary cirrhosis Beyond these

    systemic associations another subset of patients was

    found to have a history of chemical organic antigen

    or drug exposures which suggested the possibility of

    a hypersensitivity phenomenon Two additional

    patients were status post-ARDS and two patients

    had suffered pneumonia months before their biopsies

    were performed

    Perhaps the most important finding in the Katzen-

    stein and Fiorelli study was that their population of

    patients had morbidity and mortality rates signifi-

    cantly different from that of UIP in which reported

    mortality figures were more in the range of 90 with

    median survival in the range of 3 years Only 5 of 48

    patients with clinical follow-up died of progressive

    lung disease (11) whereas 39 patients either

    recovered or were alive with stable lung disease

    For the patients with follow-up no deaths were

    reported in group I patients whereas 3 patients from

    group II and 2 patients from group III died

    Unfortunately a significant number of patients were

    lost to follow-up and mean lengths of follow-up

    varied Since 1994 there have been several additional

    reported series of patients with NSIP [54ndash61] with

    variable reported survival rates (Table 5) Deaths

    occurred in patients with NSIP who had fibrosis

    (groups II and III) analogous to results reported by

    Katzenstein and Fiorelli Nagai et al [58] restricted

    the scope of NSIP to patients with idiopathic disease

    primarily by excluding patients with known collagen

    vascular diseases and environmental exposures Two

    of 31 patients in their study (65) died of pro-

    gressive lung disease both of whom had group III

    disease By contrast the highest mortality rate was re-

    ported in the series by Travis et al [61] in which 9 of

    22 patients (41) died with group II and III disease

    Idiopathic usual interstitial pneumonia (cryptogenic

    fibrosing alveolitis)

    UIP is a chronic diffuse lung disease of

    unknown origin characterized by a progressive

    tendency to produce fibrosis UIP has had many

    names over the years including chronic Hamman-

    Rich syndrome fibrosing alveolitis cryptogenic

    fibrosing alveolitis idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

    stitial fibrosis of the lung For Liebow UIP was the

    most common or lsquolsquousualrsquorsquo form of diffuse lung

    fibrosis According to Liebow UIP was idiopathic

    in approximately half of the patients originally

    studied In the other half the disease was lsquolsquohetero-

    geneous in terms of structure and causationrsquorsquo [3]

    Currently UIP has been restricted to a subset of the

    broad and heterogeneous group of diseases initially

    encompassed by this term [114]

    UIP is a disease of older individuals typically

    older than 50 years [62] Men are slightly more

    commonly affected than women Characteristic clini-

    cal findings include distinctive end-inspiratory

    crackles (lsquolsquoVelcro cracklesrsquorsquo) at the lung bases and

    the eventual development of lung fibrosis with cor

    pulmonale Clubbing occurs commonly with the

    disease Many patients die of respiratory failure

    The average duration of symptoms in one series was

    ication the lung lobules are accentuated by the presence of

    ules which further adds to the distinctive low magnification

    The disease begins at the periphery of the pulmonary lobule

    b cystic lung remodeling in its wake (B) An entire lobule is

    adjacent to thin and delicate alveolar septa Fibroblast foci

    Fig 30 Cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis The renowned fibroblast focus (A) is not unique to cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis but

    is distinctive and occurs at the interface between dense peripheral fibrosis and more normal lung centrally in the lobule Another

    consistent finding seen even in early examples of cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis is microscopic honeycombing (B) This focus

    was presumably an intact lobule once but was replaced by cysts partially filled with mucus No alveoli remain

    3 years [3] and the mean survival after diagnosis has

    been reported as 42 years in a population-based

    study [63] Different from other chronic inflamma-

    tory lung diseases immunosuppressive therapy im-

    proves neither survival nor quality of life for patients

    with UIP [62]

    HRCT has added a new dimension to the diagnosis

    of UIP The abnormalities are most prominent at the

    periphery of the lungs and in the lung bases

    regardless of the stage [64] Irregular linear opacities

    result in a reticular pattern [64] Advanced lung

    remodeling with cyst formation (honeycombing) is

    seen in approximately 90 of patients at presentation

    [65] Ground-glass opacities can be seen in approxi-

    mately 80 of cases of UIP but are seldom extensive

    The gross examination of the lung often reveals a

    characteristic nodular external surface (Fig 29)

    Histopathologically UIP is best envisioned as a

    smoldering alveolitis of unknown cause accompanied

    by microscopic foci of injury repair and lung

    remodeling with dense fibrosis The disease begins

    at the periphery of the pulmonary lobule and has a

    consistent tendency to leave lung fibrosis and honey-

    comb cystic lung remodeling in its wake as it

    progresses from the periphery to the center of the

    lobule (Fig 30) This transition from dense fibrosis

    with or without honeycombing to near normal lung

    through an intermediate stage of alveolar organization

    and inflammation is the histologic hallmark of so-

    called lsquolsquotemporal heterogeneityrsquorsquo Thick irregular

    bundles of smooth muscle typically are present within

    areas of fibrosis (Fig 31) presumably arising as a

    consequence of progressive parenchymal collapse

    with incorporation of native airway and vascular

    smooth muscle into fibrosis Less well-recognized

    additional features of UIP are distortion and narrow-

    ing of bronchioles together with peribronchiolar

    fibrosis and inflammation This observation likely

    accounts for the functional evidence of small airway

    obstruction that may be found in UIP [66] Wide-

    spread bronchial dilation (traction bronchiectasis)

    may be present at postmortem examination in ad-

    vanced disease and is evident on HRCT late in the

    course of IPF

    Acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

    Episodes of clinical deterioration are expected in

    patients with UIP Although lsquolsquorespiratory failurersquorsquo is

    the cause of death in approximately one half of

    affected individuals for a small subset death is

    sudden after acute respiratory failure This manifes-

    tation of the disease has been termed lsquolsquoacute exa-

    cerbation of IPFrsquorsquo when no infectious cause is

    identified The typical history is that of a patient

    being followed for IPF who suddenly develops acute

    respiratory distress that often is accompanied by

    fever elevation of the sedimentation rate marked

    increase in dyspnea and new infiltrates that often

    have an lsquolsquoalveolarrsquorsquo character radiologically For

    many years this manifestation was believed to be

    infectious pneumonia (possibly viral) superimposed

    on a fibrotic lung with marginal reserve Because

    cases are sufficiently common organisms are rarely

    identified and a small percentage of patients respond

    to pulse systemic corticosteroid therapy many inves-

    tigators consider such exacerbation to be a form of

    fulminant progression of the disease process itself

    Overall acute exacerbation has a poor prognosis and

    death within 1 week is not unusual Pathologically

    acute lung injury that resembles DAD or organizing

    pneumonia is superimposed on a background of

    peripherally accentuated lobular fibrosis with honey-

    combing This latter finding can be highlighted in

    tissue sections using the Masson trichrome stain for

    collagen (Fig 32) That acute exacerbation is a real

    phenomenon in IPF is underscored by the results of a

    recent large randomized trial of human recombinant

    interferon gamma 1b in IPF In this study of patients

    with early clinical disease (FVC 50 of predicted)

    the experimental and control groups were respiratory

    Pattern 3 interstitial lung diseases dominated by

    interstitial mononuclear cells (chronic

    inflammation)

    The most classic manifestation of ILD is em-

    bodied in this pattern in which mononuclear in-

    flammatory cells (eg lymphocytes plasma cells and

    histiocytes) distend the interstitium of the alveolar

    walls The pattern is common and has several

    associated conditions (Box 6)

    Hypersensitivity pneumonitis

    Lung disease can result from inhalation of various

    organic antigens In most of these exposures the

    disease is immunologically mediated presumably

    through a type III hypersensitivity reaction although

    the immunologic mechanisms have not been well

    documented in all conditions [68] The prototypic

    example is so-called lsquolsquofarmerrsquos lungrsquorsquo which is

    caused by hypersensitivity to thermophilic actino-

    mycetes (Micromonospora vulgaris and Thermophyl-

    liae polyspora) that grow in moldy hay

    The radiologic appearance depends on the stage of

    the disease In the acute stage airspace consolidation

    is the dominant feature In the subacute stage there is

    a fine nodular pattern or ground-glass opacification

    The chronic stage is dominated by fibrosis with

    ute lung injury that resembles DAD or organizing pneumonia

    irregular linear opacities resulting in a reticular

    pattern The HRCT reveals bilateral 3- to 5-mm

    poorly defined centrilobular nodular opacities or

    symmetric bilateral ground-glass opacities which

    are often associated with lobular areas of air trapping

    [69] The chronic phase is characterized by irregular

    linear opacities (reticular pattern) that represent

    fibrosis which are usually most severe in the mid-

    lung zones [70]

    The classic histologic features of hypersensitivity

    pneumonia are presented in Table 6 Because biopsy

    is typically performed in the subacute phase the

    picture is usually one of a chronic inflammatory

    interstitial infiltrate with lymphocytes and variable

    numbers of plasma cells Lung structure is preserved

    and alveoli usually can be distinguished A few

    scattered poorly formed granulomas are seen in the

    interstitium (Fig 33) The epithelioid cells in the

    lsquolsquogranulomasrsquorsquo are loosely aggregated and mixed with

    lymphocytes Characteristically scattered giant cells

    of the foreign body type are seen around terminal

    airways and may contain cleft-like spaces or small

    particles that are doubly refractile (Fig 34) Terminal

    airways display chronic inflammation of their walls

    (bronchiolitis) often with destruction distortion and

    even occlusion Pale or lightly eosinophilic vacuo-

    lated macrophages are typically found in alveolar

    spaces and are a common sign of bronchiolar

    obstruction Similar macrophages also are seen within

    alveolar walls

    In the largest series reported the inciting allergen

    was not identified in 37 of patients who had

    unequivocal evidence of hypersensitivity pneumo-

    nitis on biopsy [71] even with careful retrospective

    search [72] As the condition becomes more chronic

    there is progressive distortion of the lung architecture

    by fibrosis and microscopic honeycombing occa-

    sionally attended by extensive pleural fibrosis At this

    stage the lesions are difficult to distinguish from

    Methotrexate seems to manifest pulmonary tox-

    icity through a hypersensitivity reaction [75] There

    does not seem to be a dose relationship to toxicity

    although intravenous administration has been shown

    to be associated with more toxic effects Symptoms

    typically begin with a cough that occurs within the

    first 3 months after administration and is accompanied

    by fever malaise and progressive breathlessness

    Peripheral eosinophilia occurs in a significant number

    of patients who develop toxicity A chronic interstitial

    infiltrate is observed in lung tissue with lymphocytes

    plasma cells and a few eosinophils (Fig 36) Poorly

    cough that usually occurs within months of initiating

    therapy In some patients the onset of disease may

    trates may be present on HRCT scans but basalar and

    peripherally accentuated high attenuation opacities

    and nonspecific infiltrates are described [8182]

    Amiodarone toxicity produces a cellular interstitial

    pneumonia associated with prominent intra-alveolar

    macrophages whose cytoplasm shows fine vacuola-

    tion [7783ndash85] This vacuolation is also present in

    adjacent reactive type 2 pneumocytes Characteristic

    lamellar cytoplasmic inclusions are present ultra-

    structurally [86] Unfortunately these cytoplasmic

    changes are an expected manifestation of the drug so

    their presence is not sufficient to warrant a diagnosis

    of amiodarone toxicity [83] Pleural inflammation

    and pleural effusion have been reported [87] Some

    patients with amiodarone toxicity develop an orga-

    Idiopathic lymphoid interstitial pneumonia

    LIP is a clinical pathologic entity that fits

    descriptively within the chronic interstitial pneumo-

    nias By consensus LIP has been included in the

    current classification of the idiopathic interstitial

    pneumonias despite decades of controversy about

    what diseases are encompassed by this term In 1969

    Liebow and Carrington [3] briefly presented a group

    of patients and used the term LIP to describe their

    biopsy findings The defining criteria were morphol-

    ogic and included lsquolsquoan exquisitely interstitial infil-

    tratersquorsquo that was described as generally polymorphous

    and consisted of lymphocytes plasma cells and large

    mononuclear cells (Fig 38) Several associated

    clinical conditions have been described including

    connective tissue diseases bone marrow transplanta-

    tion acquired and congenital immunodeficiency

    syndromes and diffuse lymphoid hyperplasia of the

    intestine This disease is considered idiopathic only

    when a cause or association cannot be identified

    The idiopathic form of LIP occurs most com-

    monly between the ages of 50 and 70 but children

    may be affected Women are more commonly

    affected than men Cough dyspnea and progressive

    shortness of breath occur and often are accompanied

    restriction with abnormal gas exchange The pre-

    dominant HRCT finding is ground-glass opacifica-

    tion [90] although thickening of the bronchovascular

    bundles and thin-walled cysts may be seen [90]

    LIP is best thought of as a histopathologic pattern

    rather than a diagnosis because LIP as proposed

    initially has morphologic features that are difficult to

    separate accurately from other lymphoplasmacellular

    interstitial infiltrates including low-grade lymphomas

    of extranodal marginal zone type (maltoma) The LIP

    pattern requires clinical and laboratory correlation for

    accurate assessment similar to organizing pneumo-

    nia NSIP and DIP The histopathologic hallmarks of

    the LIP pattern include diffuse interstitial infiltration

    by lymphocytes plasmacytoid lymphocytes plasma

    cells and histiocytes (Fig 39) Giant cells and small

    granulomas may be present [91] Honeycombing with

    interstitial fibrosis can occur Immunophenotyping

    shows lack of clonality in the lymphoid infiltrate

    When LIP accompanies HIV infection a wide age

    range occurs and it is commonly found in children

    [92ndash95] These HIV-infected patients have the same

    nonspecific respiratory symptoms but weight loss is

    more common Other features of HIV and AIDS

    such as lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly

    are also more common Mean survival is worse than

    that of LIP alone with adults living an average of

    14 months and children an average of 32 months

    [96] The morphology of LIP with or without HIV

    is similar

    Pattern 4 interstitial lung diseases dominated by

    airspace filling

    A significant number of ILDs are attended or

    dominated by the presence of material filling the

    alveolar spaces Depending on the composition of

    this airspace filling process a narrow differential

    diagnosis typically emerges The prototype for the

    airspace filling pattern is organizing pneumonia in

    which immature fibroblasts (myofibroblasts) form

    polypoid growths within the terminal airways and

    alveoli Organizing pneumonia is a common and

    nonspecific reaction to lung injury Other material

    also can occur in the airspaces such as neutrophils in

    the case of bacterial pneumonia proteinaceous

    material in alveolar proteinosis and even bone in

    so-called lsquolsquoracemosersquorsquo or dendritic calcification

    Neutrophils

    When neutrophils fill the alveolar spaces the

    disease is usually acute clinically and bacterial

    pneumonia leads the differential diagnosis (Fig 40)

    Rarely immunologically mediated pulmonary hem-

    orrhage can be associated with brisk episodes of

    neutrophilic capillaritis these cells can shed into the

    alveolar spaces and mimic bronchopneumonia

    Organizing pneumonia

    When fibroblasts fill the alveolar spaces the

    appropriate pathologic term is lsquolsquoorganizing pneumo-

    KO Leslie Clin Chest Med 25 (2004) 657ndash703 683

    niarsquorsquo although many clinicians believe that this is an

    automatic indictment of infection Unfortunately the

    lung has a limited capacity for repair after any injury

    and organizing pneumonia often is a part of this

    process regardless of the exact mechanism of injury

    The more generic term lsquolsquoairspace organizationrsquorsquo is

    preferable but longstanding habits are hard to

    change Some of the more common causes of the

    organizing pneumonia pattern are presented in Box 7

    One particular form of diffuse lung disease is

    characterized by airspace organization and is idio-

    pathic This clinicopathologic condition was previ-

    ously referred to as lsquolsquoidiopathic bronchiolitis obliterans

    organizing pneumoniarsquorsquo (idiopathic BOOP) The name

    of this disorder recently was changed to COP

    Idiopathic cryptogenic organizing pneumonia

    In 1983 Davison et al [97] described a group of

    patients with COP and 2 years later Epler et al [98]

    described similar cases as idiopathic BOOP The pro-

    cess described in these series is believed to be the

    same [1] as those cases described by Liebow and

    Carrington in 1969 as lsquolsquoidiopathic bronchiolitis oblit-

    sonable consensus has emerged regarding what is

    being called COP [97ndash100] King and Mortensen

    [101] recently compiled the findings from 4 major

    case series reported from North America adding 18

    of their own cases (112 cases in all) Based on

    these compiled data the following description of

    COP emerges

    The evolution of clinical symptoms is subacute

    (4 months on average and 3 months in most) and

    follows a flu-like illness in 40 of cases The average

    age at presentation is 58 years (range 21ndash80 years)

    and there is no sex predominance Dyspnea and

    cough are present in half the patients Fever is

    common and leukocytosis occurs in approximately

    one fourth The erythrocyte sedimentation rate is

    typically elevated [102] Clubbing is rare Restrictive

    lung disease is present in approximately half of the

    patients with COP and the diffusing capacity is

    reduced in most Airflow obstruction is mild and

    typically affects patients who are smokers

    Chest radiographs show patchy bilateral (some-

    times unilateral) nonsegmental airspace consolidation

    [103] which may be migratory and similar to those of

    eosinophilic pneumonia Reticulation may be seen in

    10 to 40 of patients but rarely is predominant

    [103104] The most characteristic HRCT features of

    COP are patchy unilateral or bilateral areas of

    consolidation which have a predominantly peribron-

    chial or subpleural distribution (or both) in approxi-

    mately 60 of cases In 30 to 50 of cases small

    ill-defined nodules (3ndash10 mm in diameter) are seen

    [105ndash108] and a reticular pattern is seen in 10 to

    30 of cases

    The major histopathologic feature of COP is

    alveolar space organization (so-called lsquolsquoMasson

    bodiesrsquorsquo) but it also extends to involve alveolar ducts

    and respiratory bronchioles in which the process has

    a characteristic polypoid and fibromyxoid appearance

    (Fig 41) The parenchymal involvement tends to be

    patchy All of the organization seems to be recent

    Unfortunately the term BOOP has become one of the

    most commonly misused descriptions in lung pathol-

    ogy much to the dismay of clinicians Pathologists

    use the term to describe nonspecific organization that

    occurs in alveolar ducts and alveolar spaces of lung

    biopsies Clinicians hear the term BOOP or BOOP

    pattern and often interpret this as a clinical diagnosis

    of idiopathic BOOP Because of this misuse there is a

    growing consensus [101109] regarding use of the

    term COP to describe the clinicopathologic entity for

    the following reasons (1) Although COP is primarily

    an organizing pneumonia in up to 30 or more of

    cases granulation tissue is not present in membra-

    nous bronchioles and at times may not even be seen

    appearance (center)

    in respiratory bronchioles [97] (2) The term lsquolsquobron-

    chiolitis obliteransrsquorsquo has been used in so many

    different ways that it has become a highly ambiguous

    term (3) Bronchiolitis generally produces obstruction

    to airflow and COP is primarily characterized by a

    restrictive defect

    The expected prognosis of COP is relatively good

    In 63 of affected patients the condition resolves

    mainly as a response to systemic corticosteroids

    Twelve percent die typically in approximately

    3 months The disease persists in the remaining sub-

    set or relapses if steroids are tapered too quickly

    Patients with COP who fare poorly frequently have

    comorbid disorders such as connective tissue disease

    or thyroiditis or have been taking nitrofurantoin

    [110] A recent study showed that the presence of

    reticular opacities in a patient with COP portended

    a worse prognosis [111]

    Macrophages

    Macrophages are an integral part of the lungrsquos

    defense system These cells are migratory and

    generally do not accumulate in the lung to a

    significant degree in the absence of obstruction of

    the airways or other pathology In smokers dusty

    brown macrophages tend to accumulate around the

    terminal airways and peribronchiolar alveolar spaces

    and in association with interstitial fibrosis The

    cigarette smokingndashrelated airway disease known as

    respiratory bronchiolitisndashassociated ILD is discussed

    later in this article with the smoking-related ILDs

    Beyond smoking some infectious diseases are

    characterized by a prominent alveolar macrophage

    reaction such as the malacoplakia-like reaction to

    Rhodococcus equi infection in the immunocompro-

    mised host or the mucoid pneumonia reaction to

    cryptococcal pneumonia Conditions associated with

    a DIP-like reaction are presented in Box 8

    Eosinophilic pneumonia

    Acute eosinophilic pneumonia was discussed

    earlier with the acute ILDs but the acute and chronic

    forms of eosinophilic pneumonia often are accom-

    panied by a striking macrophage reaction in the

    airspaces Different from the macrophages in a

    patient with smoking-related macrophage accumula-

    tion the macrophages of eosinophilic pneumonia

    tend to have a brightly eosinophilic appearance and

    are plump with dense cytoplasm Multinucleated

    forms may occur and the macrophages may aggre-

    gate in sufficient density to suggest granulomas in the

    alveolar spaces When this occurs a careful search

    for eosinophils in the alveolar spaces and reactive

    type II cell hyperplasia is often helpful in distinguish-

    ing eosinophilic lung disease from other conditions

    characterized by a histiocytic reaction

    Idiopathic desquamative interstitial pneumonia

    In 1965 Liebow et al [112] described 18 cases of

    diffuse lung diseases that differed in many respects

    from UIP The striking histologic feature was the pre-

    sence of numerous cells filling the airspaces Liebow

    et al believed that the cells were chiefly desquamated

    alveolar epithelial lining cells and coined the term

    lsquolsquodesquamative interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo It is currently

    known that these cells are predominately macro-

    phages however [113] DIP and the cigarette smok-

    ingndashrelated disease known as RB-ILD are believed to

    be similar if not identical diseases possibly repre-

    senting different expressions of disease severity [115]

    RB-ILD is discussed later in this article in the section

    on smoking-related diffuse lung disease

    The patients described by Liebow et al [112] were

    on average slightly younger than patients with UIP

    and their symptoms were usually milder Clubbing

    was uncommon but in later series some patients with

    clubbing were identified [4] Most patients have a

    subacute lung disease of weeks to months of evo-

    lution The predominant finding on the radiograph and

    HRCT in patients with DIP consists of ground-glass

    opacities particularly at the bases and at the costo-

    phrenic angles [115] Some patients have mild reticu-

    lar changes superimposed on ground-glass opacities

    In lung biopsy the scanning magnification

    appearance of DIP is striking (Fig 42) The alveolar

    spaces are filled with lightly pigmented (brown)

    macrophages and multinucleated cells are commonly

    Fig 42 DIP The scanning magnification appearance of DIP is strik

    (brown) macrophages and multinucleated cells are commonly pre

    present Additional important features include the

    relative preservation of lung architecture with only

    mild thickening of alveolar walls and absence of

    severe fibrosis or honeycombing [116ndash118] Inter-

    stitial mononuclear inflammation is seen sometimes

    with scattered lymphoid follicles The histologic

    appearance of DIP is not specific It is commonly

    present in other diffuse and localized lung diseases

    including UIP asbestosis [119] and other dust-

    related diseases [120] DIP-like reactions occur after

    nitrofurantoin therapy [121122] and in alveolar

    spaces adjacent to the nodules of PLCH (see later

    section on smoking-related diseases)

    Cases have been reported in which classic DIP

    lsquolsquoprogressed to fibrosing alveolitisrsquorsquo [117123] It

    seems clear that DIP represents a nonspecific reaction

    and more commonly occurs in smokers It is critical

    to distinguish between DIP and UIP especially

    because these diseases are regarded as different from

    one another Research has shown conclusively that

    the clinical features are different the prognosis is

    much better in DIP and DIP may respond to

    corticosteroid administration [124] whereas UIP

    does not [62]

    Proteinaceous material

    When eosinophilic material fills the alveolar

    spaces the differential diagnosis includes pulmonary

    edema and alveolar proteinosis

    Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis

    PAP (alveolar lipoproteinosis) is a rare diffuse

    lung disease characterized by the intra-alveolar

    ing (A) The alveolar spaces are filled with lightly pigmented

    sent (B)

    and cholesterol clefts are seen

    KO Leslie Clin Chest Med 25 (2004) 657ndash703686

    accumulation of lipid-rich eosinophilic material

    [125] PAP likely occurs as a result of overproduction

    of surfactant by type II cells impaired clearance of

    surfactant by alveolar macrophages or a combination

    of these mechanisms The disease can occur as an

    idiopathic form but also occurs in the settings of

    occupational disease (especially dust-related) drug-

    induced injury hematologic diseases and in many

    settings of immunodeficiency [125ndash128] PAP is

    commonly associated with exposure to inhaled

    crystalline material and silica although other sub-

    stances have been implicated [126] The idiopathic

    form is the most common presentation with a male

    predominance and an age range of 30 to 50 years

    The usual presenting symptom is insidious dyspnea

    sometimes with cough [129] although the clinical

    symptoms are often less dramatic than the radio-

    logic abnormalities

    Chest radiographs show extensive bilateral air-

    space consolidation that involves mainly the perihilar

    regions CT demonstrates what seems to be smooth

    thickening of lobular septa that is not seen on the

    chest radiograph The thickening of lobular septae

    within areas of ground-glass attenuation is character-

    istic of alveolar proteinosis on CT and is referred to as

    lsquolsquocrazy pavingrsquorsquo [130] The areas of ground-glass

    attenuation and consolidation are often sharply

    demarcated from the surrounding normal lung with-

    out an apparent anatomic correlation [130ndash132]

    Histopathologically the scanning magnification

    appearance is distinctive if not diagnostic Pink

    granular material fills the airspaces often with a

    rim of retraction that separates the alveolar wall

    slightly from the exudate (Fig 43) Embedded

    clumps of dense globular granules and cholesterol

    clefts are seen (Fig 44) The periodic-acid Schiff

    Fig 43 PAP Pink granular material fills the airspaces in

    PAP often with a rim of retraction that separates the alveolar

    wall slightly from the exudate

    stain reveals a diastase-resistant positive reaction in

    the proteinaceous material of PAP Dramatic inflam-

    matory changes should suggest comorbid infection

    The idiopathic form of PAP has an excellent

    prognosis Many patients are only mildly symptom-

    atic In patients with severe dyspnea and hypoxemia

    treatment can be accomplished with one or more

    sessions of whole lung lavage which usually induces

    remission and excellent long-term survival [133]

    Pattern 5 interstitial lung diseases dominated by

    nodules

    Some ILDs are dominated by or significantly

    associated with nodules For most of the diffuse

    ILDs the nodules are small and appreciated best

    under the microscope In some instances nodules

    may be sufficiently large and diffuse in distribution

    that they are identified on HRCT In others cases a

    few large nodules may be present in two or more

    lobes or bilaterally (eg Wegener granulomatosis) For

    neoplasms that diffusely involve the lung the nodular

    pattern is overwhelmingly represented (eg lymphan-

    gitic carcinomatosis) The differential diagnosis of the

    nodular pattern is presented in Box 9

    Nodular granulomas

    When granulomas are present in a lung biopsy the

    produces well-formed granulomas Hypersensitivity

    pneumonia is discussed under Pattern 3 because the

    pattern is more one of cellular chronic interstitial

    pneumonia with granulomas being subtle

    Granulomatous infection

    Most nodular granulomatous reactions in the lung

    are of infectious origin until proven otherwise

    especially in the presence of necrosis The infectious

    diseases that characteristically produce well-formed

    granulomas are typically caused by mycobacteria

    fungi and rarely bacteria Sometimes Pneumocystis

    infection produces a nodular pattern A list of the

    diffuse lung diseases associated with granulomas is

    presented in Box 10

    Sarcoidosis

    Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease

    of uncertain origin The disease commonly affects the

    lungs [134135] The origin pathogenesis and

    epidemiology of sarcoidosis suggest that it is a

    disorder of immune regulation [136ndash138] The

    observation that sarcoid granulomas recur after lung

    transplantation [139ndash141] seems to underscore fur-

    ther the notion that this is an acquired systemic

    abnormality of immunity It also emphasizes the fact

    that even profound immunosuppression (such as that

    used in transplantation) may be ineffective in halting

    disease progression for the subset whose condition

    persists and progresses to lung fibrosis

    Sarcoidosis occurs most frequently in young

    adults but has been described in all ages There is a

    decreased incidence of sarcoidosis in cigarette smok-

    ers Many patients with intrathoracic sarcoidosis are

    symptom free Systemic manifestations may be

    identified (in decreasing frequency) in lymph nodes

    eyes liver skin spleen salivary glands bone heart

    and kidneys Breathlessness is the most common

    pulmonary symptom

    The chest radiographic appearance is often char-

    acteristic with a combination of symmetrical bilateral

    hilar and paratracheal lymph node enlargement

    together with a varied pattern of parenchymal

    involvement including linear nodular and ground-

    glass opacities [142] In approximately 25 of the

    patients the radiographic appearance is atypical and

    in approximately 10 it is normal [143] Staging of

    the disease is based on pattern of involvement on

    plain chest radiographs only [135142]

    The histopathologic hallmark of sarcoidosis is the

    presence of well-formed granulomas without necrosis

    (Fig 45) Granulomas are classically distributed

    along lymphatic channels of the bronchovascular

    bundles interlobular septa and pleura (Fig 46) The

    area between granulomas is frequently sclerotic and

    adjacent small granulomas tend to coalesce into larger

    nodules Because of involvement of the broncho-

    vascular bundles and the characteristic histology

    sarcoidosis is one of the few diffuse lung diseases

    that can be diagnosed with a high degree of success

    by transbronchial biopsy (Fig 47) [144] Although

    necrosis is not a feature of the disease sometimes

    bifurcation of a bronchiole which makes it an excellent

    target for biopsy

    foci of granular eosinophilic material may be seen at

    the center of the granulomas The lsquolsquodirtyrsquorsquo necrosis so

    typical of mycobacterial and fungal disease granu-

    lomas is not seen Distinctive inclusions may be

    present within giant cells in the granulomas such as

    asteroid and Schaumannrsquos bodies (Fig 48) but these

    can be seen in other granulomatous diseases There

    is a generally held belief that a mild interstitial inflam-

    matory infiltrate accompanies granulomas in sar-

    coidosis [145ndash147] If this lsquolsquointerstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo

    of sarcoidosis exists it is subtle in the best example

    and consists of a few lymphocytes mononuclear

    cells and macrophages

    The prognosis for patients with sarcoidosis is

    excellent The disease typically resolves or improves

    along lymphatic channels in sarcoidosis that involves the

    cant pulmonary fibrosis Most patients recover com-

    Berylliosis

    Occupational exposure to beryllium was first

    recognized as a health hazard in fluorescent lamp

    factory workers The use of beryllium in this industry

    was discontinued but because of berylliumrsquos remark-

    able structural characteristics it continues to be used

    in metallic alloy and oxide forms in numerous

    industries Berylliosis may occur as acute and chronic

    forms The acute disease is usually seen in refinery

    Nodular lymphohistiocytic lesions (lymphoid cells

    lymphoid follicles variable histiocytes)

    Follicular bronchiolitis

    When lymphoid germinal centers (secondary

    lymphoid follicles) are present in the lung biopsy

    (Fig 49) the differential diagnosis always includes a

    lung manifestation of RA Sjogrenrsquos syndrome or

    other systemic connective tissue disease immuno-

    and malignant lymphoma When in doubt immuno-

    condition is a distinctive form of chronic bronchi-

    olitis seen almost exclusively in people of East

    Asian descent (ie Japan Korea China) Diffuse

    panbronchiolitis may occur rarely in individuals in

    the United States [151ndash153] and in patients of non-

    Asian descent

    Severe chronic inflammation is centered on

    respiratory bronchioles early in the disease followed

    by involvement of distal membranous bronchioles

    and peribronchiolar alveolar spaces as the disease

    progresses A characteristic low magnification ap-

    pearance is that of nodular bronchiolocentric lesions

    (Fig 50) The characteristic and nearly diagnostic

    feature of diffuse panbronchiolitis is the accumulation

    of many pale vacuolated macrophages in the walls

    and lumens of respiratory bronchioles and in adjacent

    airspaces (Fig 51) Japanese investigators suspect

    pale vacuolated macrophages in the walls and lumens of

    by a study of 81 US patients previously diagnosed

    with cellular chronic bronchiolitis [151] On review 7

    of these patients were reclassified as having diffuse

    panbronchiolitis (86)

    Nodules of neoplastic cells

    Isolated nodules of neoplastic cells occur com-

    monly as primary and metastatic cancer in the lung

    When nodules of neoplastic cells are seen in the

    radiologic context of ILD lymphangitic carcinoma-

    tosis leads the differential diagnosis LAM also can

    produce diffuse ILD typically with small nodules

    and cysts LAM is discussed later in this article under

    Pattern 6 PLCH also can produce small nodules and

    cysts diffusely in the lung (typically in the upper lung

    zones) and this entity is discussed with the smoking-

    related interstitial diseases

    Lymphangitic carcinomatosis

    Pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis (lym-

    phangitis carcinomatosa) is a form of metastatic

    carcinoma that involves the lung primarily within

    lymphatics The disease produces a miliary nodular

    pattern at scanning magnification Lymphangitic

    carcinoma is typically adenocarcinoma The most

    common sites of origin are breast lung and stomach

    although primary disease in pancreas ovary kidney

    and uterine cervix also can give rise to this

    manifestation of metastatic spread Patients often

    present with insidious onset of dyspnea that is

    frequently accompanied by an irritating cough The

    radiographic abnormalities include linear opacities

    Kerley B lines subpleural edema and hilar and

    mediastinal lymph node enlargement [154] The

    HRCT findings are highly characteristic and accu-

    rately reflect the microscopic distribution in this

    disease with uneven thickening of the bronchovas-

    cular bundles and lobular septa which gives them a

    beaded appearance [155156]

    Histopathologically malignant tumor cells are

    typically present in small aggregates within lym-

    phatic channels of the bronchovascular sheath and

    pleura (Fig 52) Variable amounts of tumor may be

    present throughout the lung in the interstitium of the

    alveolar walls in the airspaces and in small muscular

    pulmonary arteries This latter finding (microangio-

    pathic obliterative endarteritis) may be the origin of

    the edema inflammation and interstitial fibrosis that

    frequently accompany the disease and likely accounts

    for the clinical and radiologic impression of nonneo-

    plastic diffuse lung disease [154157]

    Pattern 6 interstitial lung disease with subtle

    findings in surgical biopsies (chronic evolution)

    A limited differential diagnosis is invoked by the

    relative absence of abnormalities in a surgical lung

    biopsy (Box 11) Three main categories of disease

    emerge in this setting (1) diseases of the small

    Fig 53 Rheumatoid bronchiolitis In this example of

    rheumatoid bronchiolitis complex bronchiolar metaplasia

    involves a membranous bronchiole accompanied by fol-

    licular bronchiolitis Small rheumatoid nodules (similar to

    those that occur around the joints) also can be seen

    occasionally in the walls of airways which results in partial

    or total occlusion

    KO Leslie Clin Chest Med 25 (2004) 657ndash703 691

    airways (eg constrictive bronchiolitis) (2) vasculo-

    pathic conditions (eg pulmonary hypertension) and

    (3) two diseases that may be dominated by cysts the

    rare disease known as LAM and PLCH in the in-

    active or healed phase of the disease All of these may

    be dramatic in biopsy specimens but when con-

    fronted with the lsquolsquonearly normalrsquorsquo lung biopsy in a pa-

    tient with significant clinical disease these three

    groups of diseases dominate the differential diagnosis

    Small airways disease and constrictive bronchiolitis

    Obliteration of the small membranous bronchioles

    can occur as a result of infection toxic inhalational

    exposure drugs systemic connective tissue diseases

    and as an idiopathic form Outside of the setting of

    lung transplantation in which so-called lsquolsquobronchio-

    litis obliteransrsquorsquo (having histopathology similar to

    constrictive bronchiolitis) occurs as a chronic mani-

    festation of organ rejection the diagnosis presents a

    challenge for pulmonologists and pathologists alike

    In this section we present a few recognized forms of

    nonndashtransplant-associated constrictive bronchiolitis

    Irritants and infections

    Many irritant gases can produce severe bronchi-

    olitis This inflammatory injury may be followed by

    the accumulation of loose granulation tissue and

    finally by complete stenosis and occlusion of the

    airways The best known of these agents are nitrogen

    dioxide [158] sulfur dioxide [159] and ammonia

    [160] Viral infection also can cause permanent

    bronchiolar injury particularly adenovirus infection

    [161] Mycoplasma pneumonia is also cited as a

    potential cause [162] The course of events is similar

    to that for the toxic gases Variable degrees of

    bronchiectasis or bronchioloectasis may occur sec-

    ondarily up- and downstream from the area of

    occlusion Lung biopsy is performed rarely and then

    usually because the patient is young and unusual

    airflow obstruction is present Occasionally mixed

    obstruction and restriction may occur presumably on

    the basis of diffuse peribronchiolar scarring This

    airway-associated scarring may produce CT findings

    of lsquolsquointerstitialrsquorsquo disease The airway lesions are subtle

    but can be recognized by variable reduction in

    bronchiolar luminal diameter compared with the

    adjacent pulmonary artery branch (Normally these

    should be roughly equal in diameter when viewed

    as cross-sections) The diagnosis depends on careful

    clinical correlation and sometimes the addition of a

    comparison between inspiratory and expiratory

    HRCT scans which typically shows prominent

    mosaic air trapping

    Rheumatoid bronchiolitis

    Patients with RA may develop constrictive bron-

    chiolitis as a consequence of their disease In some

    patients small rheumatoid nodules can be seen in the

    walls of airways which results in their partial or total

    occlusion (Fig 53) From a practical point of view

    the lesions are focal within the airways often in small

    bronchi and may not be visualized easily in the

    biopsy specimen Because of the widespread recog-

    nition of rheumatoid bronchiolitis biopsy is rarely

    performed in these patients Morphologically scat-

    tered occlusion of small bronchi and bronchioles is

    observed and is associated with the presence of loose

    connective tissue in their lumens

    Neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia with occlusive

    bronchiolar fibrosis

    In 1992 Aguayo et al [163] reported six patients

    with moderate chronic airflow obstruction all of

    whom never smoked Diffuse neuroendocrine cell

    hyperplasia of the bronchioles associated with partial

    or total occlusion of airway lumens by fibrous tissue

    was present in all six patients (Fig 54) Three of the

    patients also had peripheral carcinoid tumors and

    three had progressive dyspnea

    In a study of 25 peripheral carcinoid tumors that

    occurred in smokers and nonsmokers Miller and

    Muller [164] identified 19 patients (76) with

    neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of the airways which

    occurred mostly in bronchioles Eight patients (32)

    Fig 54 Neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia with occlusive bronchiolar fibrosis (A) Diffuse neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of the

    Fig 55 Cryptogenic constrictive bronchiolitis is commonly

    recognized as an expression of chronic organ rejection in the

    setting of lung transplantation (bronchiolitis obliterans

    syndrome) It also occurs on the basis of many other injuries

    and exists as an idiopathic form In this photograph taken

    from a biopsy in a lung transplant patient the bronchiole can

    be seen at center right but the lumen is filled with loose

    fibroblasts (note the adjacent pulmonary artery upper left)

    were found to have occlusive bronchiolar fibrosis

    Four of the 8 had mild chronic airflow obstruction

    and 2 of these 4 patients were nonsmokers

    An increase in neuroendocrine cells was present in

    more than 20 of bronchioles examined in lung

    adjacent to the tumor and in tissue blocks taken well

    away from tumor Less than half of these airways

    were partially or totally occluded The mildest lesion

    consisted of linear zones of neuroendocrine cell

    hyperplasia with focal subepithelial fibrosis The

    most severely involved bronchioles showed total

    luminal occlusion by fibrous tissue with few visible

    neuroendocrine cells

    In both of these studies most of the patients with

    airway neuroendocrine hyperplasia were women Pre-

    sumably fibrosis in this setting of neuroendocrine

    hyperplasia is related to one or more peptides se-

    creted by neuroendocrine cells possibly these cells are

    more effective in stimulating airway fibrosis inwomen

    Cryptogenic constrictive bronchiolitis

    Unexplained chronic airflow obstruction that

    occurs in nonsmokers may be a result of selective

    (and likely multifocal) obliteration of the membra-

    nous bronchioles (constrictive bronchiolitis) In a

    study of 2094 patients with a forced expiratory

    volume in the first second (FEV1) of less than

    60 of predicted [165] 10 patients (9 women) were

    identified They ranged in age from 27 to 60 years

    Five were found to have RA and presumably

    rheumatoid bronchiolitis The other 5 had airflow

    obstruction of unknown cause believed to be caused

    by lsquolsquobronchiolitisrsquorsquo Other studies also identified a

    cryptogenic form of bronchiolar disease that produces

    airflow obstruction [166167] When biopsies have

    been performed constrictive bronchiolitis seems to

    be the common pathologic manifestation (Fig 55)

    It is fair to conclude that a rare but fairly distinct

    clinical syndrome exists that consists of mild airflow

    obstruction and usually affects middle-aged women

    who manifest nonspecific respiratory symptoms

    Fig 56 Vasculopathic disease Diseases that involve the small arteries and veins of the lung can be subtle when viewed from low

    magnification under the microscope (A) At higher magnification scattered plexiform vascular lesions (B) are present in this

    example of primary pulmonary hypertension

    such as cough and dyspnea It is possible that these

    cryptogenic cases of constrictive bronchiolitis are

    manifestations of undeclared systemic connective

    tissue disease the sequelae of prior undetected

    community-acquired infections (eg viral myco-

    plasmal chlamydial) or exposure to toxin

    Interstitial lung disease dominated by

    airway-associated scarring

    A form of small airway-associated ILD has been

    described in recent years under the names lsquolsquoidiopathic

    bronchiolocentric interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo [168] and

    lsquolsquoairway-centered interstitial fibrosisrsquorsquo [169] Affected

    patients have more of a restrictive than obstructive

    functional deficit and the process is characterized

    histopathologically by the presence of significant

    small airwayndashassociated scarring similar to that seen

    in forms of chronic hypersensitivity pneumonia

    certain chronic inhalational injuries (including sub-

    clinical chronic aspiration pneumonia) and even

    some examples of late-stage inactive PLCH (which

    typically lacks characteristic Langerhansrsquo cells) This

    morphologic group may pose diagnostic challenges

    because of the absence of interstitial inflammatory

    changes despite the radiologic and functional impres-

    sion of ILD

    Vasculopathic disease

    Diseases that involve the small arteries and veins

    of the lung can be subtle when viewed from low

    magnification under the microscope (Fig 56) This is

    not to imply that the entities of pulmonary hyper-

    tension capillary hemangiomatosis and veno-occlu-

    sive disease are always subtle (Fig 57) A complete

    discussion of these disease conditions is beyond the

    scope of this article however when the lung biopsy

    has little pathology evident at scanning magnifica-

    tion a careful evaluation of the pulmonary arteries

    and veins is always in order

    Lymphangioleiomyomatosis

    an abnormal proliferation of smooth muscle cells in

    Fig 59 LAM The walls of these spaces have variable

    smooth muscle cells

    formation of cysts [170ndash173] The disease is

    centered on lymphatic channels blood vessels and

    airways LAM is a disease of women typically in

    their childbearing years The disease does occur in

    older women and rarely in men [174] There is a

    strong association between the inherited genetic

    disorder known as tuberous sclerosis complex and

    the occurrence of LAM Most patients with LAM do

    not have tuberous sclerosis complex but approxi-

    mately one fourth of patients with tuberous sclerosis

    complex have LAM as diagnosed by chest HRCT

    [175] The most common presenting symptoms are

    spontaneous pneumothorax and exertional dyspnea

    Others symptoms include chyloptosis hemoptysis

    and chest pain The characteristic findings on CT are

    numerous cysts separated by normal-appearing lung

    parenchyma The cysts range from 2 to 10 mm in

    diameter and are seen much better with HRCT

    [171176]

    The appearance of the abnormal smooth muscle in

    LAM is sufficiently characteristic so that once

    recognized it is rarely forgotten Cystic spaces are

    present at low magnification (Fig 58) The walls of

    these spaces have variable amounts of bundled

    spindled cells (Fig 59) The nuclei of these spindled

    cells (Fig 60) are larger than those of normal smooth

    muscle bundles seen around alveolar ducts or in the

    walls of airways or vessels Immunohistochemical

    staining is positive in these cells using antibodies

    directed against the melanoma markers HMB45 and

    Mart-1 (Fig 61) These findings may be useful in the

    evaluation of transbronchial biopsy in which only a

    estrogen receptors and progesterone receptors also

    can be demonstrated in the spindled cells of LAM

    present including peculiar nodules of hyperplastic

    pneumocytes (Fig 62) that lack immunoreactivity

    for HMB45 or Mart-1 but show immunoreactivity for

    cytokeratins and surfactant apoproteins [178] These

    epithelial lesions have been referred to as lsquolsquomicro-

    nodular pneumocyte hyperplasiarsquorsquo

    related diseases the first of which is related to DIP

    and likely represents an earlier stage or alternate

    manifestation along a spectrum of macrophage

    accumulation in the lung in the context of cigarette

    smoking Conceptually respiratory bronchiolitis

    RB-ILD DIP and PLCH can be viewed as interre-

    lated components in the setting of cigarette smoking

    Respiratory bronchiolitisndashassociated interstitial lung

    disease

    Respiratory bronchiolitis is a common finding in

    the lungs of cigarette smokers and some investiga-

    tors consider this lesion to be a precursor of centri-

    acinar emphysema Respiratory bronchiolitis affects

    the terminal airways and is characterized by delicate

    fibrous bands that radiate from the peribronchiolar

    connective tissue into the surrounding lung (Fig 64)

    Dusty appearing tan-brown pigmented alveolar

    macrophages are present in the adjacent airspaces

    and a mild amount of interstitial chronic inflamma-

    tion is present Bronchiolar metaplasia (extension of

    terminal airway epithelium to alveolar ducts) is

    usually present to some degree In the bronchioles

    submucosal fibrosis may be present but constrictive

    changes are not a characteristic finding When

    respiratory bronchiolitis becomes extensive and

    patients have signs and symptoms of ILD use of

    the term RB-ILD has been suggested [180181] The

    exact relationship between RB-ILD and DIP is

    unclear and in smokers these two conditions are

    probably part of a continuous spectrum of disease

    Symptoms of RB-ILD include dyspnea excess

    sputum production and cough [182] Rarely patients

    may be asymptomatic Men are slightly more

    cigarette smoking

    inflammation is typically present and brown pigmented

    commonly affected than women and the mean age of

    onset is approximately 36 years (range 22ndash53 years)

    The average pack year smoking history is 32 (range

    7ndash75)

    Most patients with respiratory bronchiolitis alone

    have normal radiologic studies The most common

    findings in RB-ILD include thickening of the

    bronchial walls ground-glass opacities and poorly

    defined centrilobular nodular opacities [183] Be-

    cause most patients with RB-ILD are heavy smokers

    centrilobular emphysema is common

    On histopathologic examination lightly pig-

    mented macrophages are present in the airspaces

    around the terminal airways with variable bronchiolar

    metaplasia (Fig 65) Iron stains may reveal delicate

    positive staining within these cells The relatively

    patchy nature of the disease is important in differ-

    entiating RB-ILD from DIP (Fig 66) A spectrum of

    pathologic severity emerges with isolated lesions of

    respiratory bronchiolitis on one end and diffuse

    macrophage accumulation in DIP on the other RB-

    ILD exists somewhere in between The diagnosis of

    RB-ILD should be reserved for situations in which

    respiratory bronchiolitis is prominent with associated

    clinical and pathologic ILD [184] No other cause for

    ILD should be apparent The prognosis is excellent

    and there does not seem to be evidence for pro-

    gression to end-stage fibrosis in the absence of other

    lung disease

    Pulmonary Langerhansrsquo cell histiocytosis

    PLCH (formerly known as pulmonary eosino-

    philic granuloma or pulmonary histiocytosis X) is

    currently recognized as a lung disease strongly

    associated with cigarette smoking Proliferation of

    Langerhansrsquo cells is associated with the formation of

    stellate airway-centered lung scars and cystic change

    in affected individuals The incidence of the disease is

    unknown but it is generally considered to be a rare

    complication of cigarette smoking [185]

    Fig 67 PLCH The classic lsquolsquoMedusa-headrsquorsquo lesion of PLCH

    is illustrated in this figure Tractional emphysema with cyst

    formation is typical at the perimeter of the lesions Fig 69 PLCH The Langerhansrsquo cell has a slightly pale

    basophilic nucleus with characteristic sharp nuclear folds

    that resemble crumpled tissue paper

    PLCH affects smokers between the ages of 20 and

    40 The most common presenting symptom is cough

    with dyspnea but some patients may be asymptom-

    atic despite chest radiographic abnormalities Chest

    pain fever weight loss and hemoptysis have been

    reported to occur HRCT scan shows nearly patho-

    gnomonic changes including predominately upper

    and middle lung zone nodules and cysts [185186]

    The classic lesion of PLCH is illustrated in

    Fig 67 Characteristically the nodules have a stellate

    shape and are always centered on the bronchioles

    directed against S100 protein and CD1a is helpful in

    sharp nuclear folds that resemble crumpled tissue

    present Late lesions (so-called lsquolsquoinactiversquorsquo or

    resolved PLCH) consist only of fibrotic centrilobular

    scars [187] with a stellate configuration (Fig 70)

    Immunohistochemistry for S-100 protein and CD1a

    may be used to confirm the diagnosis but this is

    usually unnecessary and even may be confounding in

    late lesions in which Langerhansrsquo cells may be

    sparse and the stellate scar is the diagnostic lesion

    Up to 20 of transbronchial biopsies in patients

    with Langerhansrsquo cell histiocytosis may have diag-

    nostic changes The presence of more than 5

    Langerhansrsquo cells in bronchoalveolar lavage is

    considered diagnostic of Langerhansrsquo cell histiocy-

    tosis in the appropriate clinical setting Unfortunately

    cigarette smokers without Langerhansrsquo cell histiocy-

    tosis also may have increased numbers of Langer-

    hansrsquo cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage

      Pattern 6 near normal lung

      The surgical lung biopsy that has barely discern-

      ible abnormalities is often the result of diseases that

      affect the airways and blood vessels of the lung The

      changes may be subtle at low magnification The

      prototype is small airways disease in which pruning

      dilatation and generalized scarring of the small

      airways occur and this may be difficult to appreciate

      Fig 1 Pattern 1 acute lung injury DAD with hyaline

      membranes classically encountered in the clinical setting of

      ARDS is the prototype of the acute lung injury pattern

      at scanning magnification Vascular diseases (eg pul-

      monary hypertension) cystic diseases (eg lymphan-

      gioleiomyomatosis [LAM]) and conditions with

      patchy scarring also can produce subtle disease that

      results in what seems to be lsquolsquonormalrsquorsquo lung from

      scanning magnification (Fig 6)

      tic possibilities A list of these findings with their

      lung injury related to drug toxicity or connective

      tissue disease In the immunocompromised patient

      infection dominates this picture

      Infections

      A complete discussion of pulmonary infections

      that produce acute lung injury is beyond the scope of

      this article Bacteria fungi and viruses can produce

      acute lung injury and are the diagnosis of exclusion in

      this setting Viruses are the most common of these

      infections to cause diffuse acute lung injury The

      more common viruses that cause pneumonia and their

      susceptible hosts are presented in Table 3

      Drugs and radiation reactions

      Medications taken orally or by injection may

      produce various lesions within the lung including

      DAD pulmonary edema asthma eosinophilic pneu-

      monia and even advanced fibrosis [56] For many

      drugs acute and chronic forms of toxicity have been

      reported This discussion emphasizes a few reactions

      that classically manifest as acute lung disease and

      highlight those that may produce chronic disease

      Nitrofurantoin

      Nitrofurantoin is an antimicrobial agent used in

      the treatment of urinary tract infections This agent is

      responsible for more cases of pulmonary toxicity than

      any other drug with acute and chronic reactions

      reported [78] Acute reactions are accompanied by

      typically appear within 2 weeks of initiating therapy

      The histopathologic findings are similar to those of

      acute eosinophilic pneumonia Chronic reactions

      occur in a few patients taking the drug and clinical

      manifestations appear after 1 to 6 months of treat-

      ment The chronic cases are more often subjected to

      biopsy and show interstitial inflammation and fibrosis

      accompanied by vascular sclerosis

      Cytotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs

      The most common group of drugs that produces

      acute lung injury includes the antineoplastic agents

      From a clinical standpoint some drugs (eg 5-fluoro-

      uracil vinblastine cytarabine adriamycin thiotepa

      azathioprine) almost never produce pulmonary dis-

      ease With increasing numbers of newer antineo-

      plastic agents being used pulmonary toxicity

      undoubtedly will increase Excellent on-line re-

      sources that provide comprehensive and up-to-date

      lists of these agents are available [9]

      Analgesics

      Heroin [10] methadone propoxyphene and even

      aspirin can produce acute lung reactions [1112]

      Toxicity typically results from overdose and is

      characterized by pulmonary edema sometimes com-

      plicated by aspiration of gastric contents When pill

      binding agents such as talc or microcrystalline

      cellulose are injected with a drug intravenously a

      foreign body giant cell reaction may be seen in lung

      tissue in a characteristic perivascular distribution

      Radiation pneumonitis

      Radiation therapy was a common cause of acute

      lung injury before improved technology and modi-

      fications in dosing were instituted [13] Radiation

      injury can be exacerbated by infection [14] and

      chemotherapeutic drugs [15] Initial clinical signs and

      symptoms often are absent or mild In the acute

      phase chest radiographs and high-resolution CT

      (HRCT) reveal ground-glass opacities or airspace

      consolidation with some loss of lung volume

      Acute eosinophilic lung disease

      Acute lung injury that occurs in the presence of

      significant numbers of tissue eosinophils is referred

      to as lsquolsquoacute eosinophilic lung diseasersquorsquo Peripheral

      blood and bronchoalveolar lavage eosinophils are

      commonly elevated in these conditions Eosinophilia

      may not be persistent throughout the disease and

      eosinophilic vasculitis is not a prerequisite for the

      diagnosis in lung tissue Several forms have been

      described over the years the mildest of which has

      been referred to as Loeffler syndrome or simple

      eosinophilic pneumonia Ascaris infestation was

      documented eventually in the initial series by

      Loeffler which led to the hypothesis that simple

      eosinophilic pneumonia was a manifestation of

      hypersensitivity to Ascaris antigens

      The second form occurs commonly in patients

      with asthma presumably as an allergic manifestation

      to an unknown antigen The clinical course is more

      chronic and typically evolves slowly over many

      months Patients with the lsquolsquochronicrsquorsquo form of eosino-

      philic pneumonia may have a typical clinical syn-

      drome and radiographic appearance [16]

      Finally a dramatic new manifestation of idio-

      pathic eosinophilic lung disease has been described

      that is characterized by rapid onset of breathlessness

      in an otherwise healthy young adult without asthma

      [17] This form may mimic DAD clinically and patho-

      logically even with the presence of hyaline mem-

      branes The importance of recognizing this entity lies

      in its excellent prognosis and characteristic rapid

      response to corticosteroid therapy

      Some other well-recognized associations have

      been described with eosinophilic pneumonia The

      best example is that produced by sensitivity to nitro-

      furantoin and other drugs Eosinophilic pneumonia in

      the presence of asthma may be a manifestation of

      hypersensitivity to aspergillus and other fungal organ-

      isms (eg allergic bronchopulmonary fungal disease)

      The histopathologic features of eosinophilic pneu-

      monia include intra-alveolar eosinophils fibrin and

      plump eosinophilic macrophages surrounded by

      striking reactive type II cell hyperplasia (Fig 9)

      Acute fibrinous pleuritis may occur Eosinophilic

      microabscesses and eosinophilic vasculitis may be

      present but are not necessary for the diagnosis

      (Fig 10)

      Acute pulmonary manifestations of the collagen

      vascular diseases

      The most common acute manifestation of the

      collagen vascular diseases is DAD but diffuse

      pulmonary hemorrhage also occurs The more com-

      mon collagen vascular diseases that produce acute

      manifestations are presented herein

      Rheumatoid arthritis

      Nearly one-half of all patients with rheumatoid

      arthritis (RA) develop one or more forms of

      rheumatoid lung disease [18] and patients with more

      severe joint involvement are more likely to develop

      pleuropulmonary manifestations Lung disease typi-

      cally follows the development of joint disease but

      occasionally the lung or pleura may herald the

      disease DAD is a well-recognized complication of

      RA [19]

      Systemic lupus erythematosus

      Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) also com-

      monly involves the lungs and pleura [18] Painful

      pleuritis with or without effusion is the most common

      abnormality [20] but acute lupus pneumonitis is a

      potentially disastrous complication with a mortality

      rate of 50 [21] Acute lupus pneumonitis is

      characterized morphologically by DAD Diffuse

      pulmonary hemorrhage also may occur usually

      accompanied by vasculitis and capillaritis (Fig 11)

      Immune complexes may be identified on capillary

      basement membranes in this setting [22]

      Dermatomyositis-polymyositis

      DAD is not common in dermatomyositis-poly-

      myositis but the clinical presentation may be

      particularly dramatic Tazelaar et al [23] presented

      14 patients with dermatomyositis-polymyositis who

      developed lung disease Three patients developed

      DAD all of whom died most frequently in the acute

      episode The authors also reviewed 27 additional

      cases of dermatomyositis-polymyositis lung disease

      reported in the literature and found similar results

      DAD may be the first clinical manifestation of

      dermatomyositis-polymyositis and may precede the

      clinical and serologic diagnosis of the disease by

      many months

      Acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia

      A new entity with some similarities to DAD

      recently has been described and it is termed lsquolsquoacute

      fibrinous and organizing pneumoniarsquorsquo [24] Acute

      fibrinous and organizing pneumonia can be patchy

      and typically lacks hyaline membranes but is rich in

      fibrinous alveolar exudates (Fig 12) without evi-

      dence of infection Like DAD acute fibrinous and

      organizing pneumonia can be idiopathic or associated

      with several underlying or associated conditions

      such as collagen vascular disease drug reaction

      and occupational exposures Survival is similar to

      DAD in general but the requirement for mechanical

      ventilation was associated with a worse prognosis

      Acute diffuse alveolar hemorrhage

      Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is character-

      ized by a triad of (1) hemoptysis (2) anemia and

      (3) bilateral ground-glass opacities (or consolidation)

      that rapidly wax and wane Hemorrhage and hemo-

      siderin-laden macrophages in alveolar spaces are

      essential to the pathologic diagnosis [25ndash27] In

      practice artifactual hemorrhage can occur commonly

      in lung biopsy specimens Hemosiderin-laden macro-

      phages (with coarsely granular golden-brown refrac-

      tile pigment) always should be present in the alveolar

      spaces before one invokes the diagnosis of DAH

      (Fig 13) The differential diagnosis of DAH is pre-

      sented in Box 4

      Antiglomerular basement membrane disease

      (Goodpasturersquos syndrome)

      When diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage occurs with

      renal disease in the presence of circulating antibodies

      against glomerular basement membranes the con-

      dition is referred to as antiglomerular basement

      membrane disease [28ndash31] Lung biopsy is less

      desirable than kidney as a diagnostic specimen in

      Fig 13 DAH Fresh blood in the lung is not sufficient

      evidence for a diagnosis of DAH Hemosiderin-laden

      macrophages with coarsely granular golden-brown refractile

      pigment always should be present

      antiglomerular basement membrane disease but

      because renal disease is commonly occult at the time

      of presentation the lung is often the first tissue

      sample examined by the pathologist Unfortunately

      the lung findings are relatively nonspecific and

      consist of fresh alveolar hemorrhage hemosiderin

      deposition in macrophages (siderophages) and vari-

      able interstitial inflammation with delicate interstitial

      fibrosis (Fig 14) The presence of capillaritis in the

      alveolar wall is also helpful in distinguishing anti-

      glomerular basement membrane disease from idio-

      pathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) and chronic

      passive lung congestion The results of immunofluo-

      rescent studies on lung tissue are not as reliable as

      they are on kidney tissue [30] and for cost-effective

      practice we generally recommend serologic confir-

      mation (radioimmunoassay or ELISA) even when

      appropriately preserved lung tissue is available

      Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage associated with the

      systemic collagen vascular diseases

      DAH may occur as a consequence of several

      immune-mediated vasculitides including those that

      occur in the setting of collagen vascular disease

      Potential causes of DAH in this setting include

      microscopic polyangiitis SLE Wegenerrsquos granulo-

      matosis cryoglobulinemia RA crescentic glomeru-

      lonephritis and scleroderma [25272930] The

      common histopathologic feature is acute capillaritis

      with or without larger vessel vasculitis (Fig 15)

      Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis

      In the absence of renal disease or demonstrable

      immunologic disease DAH has been termed IPH

      Fig 15 DAH in the collagen vascular diseases The common histo

      disease is acute capillaritis (A) with or without larger vessel vascu

      IPH occurs most commonly in children younger

      than 10 years and young adults in the second and

      third decades of life Anemia is accompanied by

      bilateral areas of consolidation on the chest radio-

      graph The sexes are equally affected in the younger

      age group but men predominate in the older age

      group The histopathology is similar to that of

      antiglomerular basement membrane disease namely

      alveolar hemorrhage and hemosiderin-laden macro-

      phages but in IPH there is less interstitial inflam-

      mation and more fibrosis (Fig 16) By definition

      tissue immunoglobulin studies and electron micros-

      copy are nondiagnostic

      Idiopathic diffuse alveolar damage acute interstitial

      pneumonia

      The term lsquolsquoacute interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo was first

      introduced in 1986 to describe a syndrome of rapidly

      evolving acute respiratory failure that occurred in

      immunocompetent individuals [32] The patients

      described included three men and five women (two

      of whom were pregnant) who developed sudden

      unexplained respiratory failure Six reported a viral-

      like prodrome None of the patients was reported to

      have underlying collagen vascular disease By

      definition acute interstitial pneumonia is of unknown

      cause and is a diagnosis of exclusion The usual

      causes of ARDS must be absent (ie shock sepsis

      trauma aspiration or drug toxicity)

      Surgical lung biopsies show DAD in varying

      stages (Fig 17) The changes observed in biopsy

      specimens depend on the stage at which the biopsy is

      taken and tend to be relatively diffuse throughout the

      specimen Like other forms of DAD the early stages

      show an exudative phase with edema and hyaline

      membranes Bronchioles may show squamous meta-

      plasia that extend peripherally to involve adjacent

      alveolar walls Organizing arterial thrombi were seen

      in five of the seven patients who died in the Kat-

      zenstein series [32] In the last stages fibrosis distorts

      the lung architecture

      Collagen vascular disease or allergic disorders

      may be responsible for many cases of acute inter-

      stitial pneumonia although they may not be clinically

      apparent at the time of presentation acute interstitial

      pneumonia has been formally added to the classi-

      fication of the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias by a

      recent international consensus committee [4]

      diseases may involve the lung and pleura in several

      different ways Although the lung morphologic

      abnormalities are not specific for any one of these

      diseases some features are more commonly mani-

      fested than others in each of them (Table 4) A few of

      the more prominent collagen vascular diseases known

      to produce fibrosis are presented herein

      Rheumatoid arthritis

      The most common thoracic complication of RA is

      pleural disease (effusion or pleuritis) which is seen in

      as much as 50 of patients in autopsy studies

      According to a study by Walker and Wright [33]

      approximately one-third of the patients with pleural

      effusions also have pulmonary manifestations of RA

      in the form of nodules or interstitial disease Nodules

      may be seen in the lung parenchyma and occasionally

      in the walls of airways in persons with RA which

      represents lymphoid hyperplasia with germinal cen-

      ters in most instances (Fig 18) The interstitial

      pneumonia of RA may be cellular with little fibrosis

      (cellular NSIP-like see later discussion) fibrotic with

      honeycomb cystic remodeling (UIP-like see later

      discussion) and occasionally may have a macro-

      phage-rich DIP pattern (discussed in Pattern 4) [19]

      Fig 17 Acute interstitial pneumonia Surgical lung biopsies show diffuse alveolar damage in varying stages In the earliest

      manifestation (A) edema in the alveolar spaces and interstitium is typical with hyaline membranes and preservation of the

      alveolar spaces As the process evolves (2ndash4 days after onset) hyaline membranes become thicker and there is greater cellularity

      in the interstitium as inflammatory cells begin to accrue (B) By the end of the first week (C) alveolar spaces are overwhelmed

      by reparative changes with myofibroblasts that produce an organizing pneumonia pattern Over the next weeks (D) the

      myofibroblasts become incorporated into the interstitium as the best outcome with reconstitution of the alveolar architecture

      Systemic lupus erythematosus

      Similar to RA SLE also commonly involves the

      respiratory system [18] Painful pleuritis with or

      without effusion is the most common abnormality

      [20] Noninfectious organizing pneumonia also has

      been reported and advanced fibrosis with honey-

      comb remodeling occurs (Fig 19) [34]

      Progressive systemic sclerosis

      The most notable feature of lsquolsquoscleroderma lungrsquorsquo

      is the presence of extensive alveolar wall fibrosis

      without much inflammation (Fig 20) [35] Some

      degree of diffuse lung fibrosis occurs in nearly every

      patient with pulmonary involvement [18] Patients

      with longstanding progressive systemic sclerosisndash

      related lung fibrosis are at high risk of developing

      bronchoalveolar carcinoma Vascular sclerosis usu-

      ally without true vasculitis is typical if sufficiently

      severe it produces pulmonary hypertension [36]

      Pleural disease is less common in progressive

      systemic sclerosis than in RA or SLE

      Mixed connective tissue disease

      Mixed connective tissue disease is relatively

      common in producing interstitial pulmonary disease

      or pleural effusions [18] In many cases the

      abnormalities respond well to corticosteroid therapy

      but severe and progressive pulmonary disease with

      fibrosis does occur A pattern of fibrosis that re-

      sembles the pattern seen in UIP (see later discussion)

      occurs and pulmonary hypertension may occur

      accompanied by plexiform lesions similar to those

      seen in persons with primary pulmonary hyperten-

      sion [37]

      DermatomyositisPolymyositis

      Several forms of ILD have been reported in der-

      matomyositispolymyositis and the histologic find-

      ings seen on biopsy seem to be better predictors of

      prognosis than clinical or radiologic features [23] A

      subacute presentation with a noninfectious organizing

      pneumonia pattern has been associated with the best

      prognosis whereas the worst prognosis has been

      associated with advanced lung fibrosis [23]

      Sjogrenrsquos syndrome

      The common pulmonary lesions of Sjogrenrsquos

      syndrome generally evolve over weeks to months

      and are analogous to the disease manifestations in the

      salivary glands The range of disease patterns in

      Sjogrenrsquos syndrome is broad especially when Sjog-

      renrsquos syndrome is accompanied by other connective

      tissue disease A hallmark of pure Sjogrenrsquos syndrome

      in the lung is marked lymphoreticular infiltrates in

      the submucosal glands of the tracheobronchial tree

      (Fig 21) [18] Patients with Sjogrenrsquos syndrome also

      are at risk for LIP and occasionally develop lympho-

      proliferative disorders that involve the pulmonary

      interstitium ranging from relatively low-grade extra-

      nodal marginal zone lymphoma (MALToma) to a

      high-grade lymphoma Advanced lung fibrosis also

      occurs as pleuropulmonary manifestation in Sjogrenrsquos

      syndrome (Fig 22) [3839]

      Certain chronic drug reactions

      Many drugs are reported to produce lung fibrosis

      among them bleomycin carmustine penicillamine ni-

      trofurantoin tocainide mexiletine amiodarone aza-

      thioprine methotrexate melphalan and mitomycin C

      Unfortunately the list of agents is growing rapidly

      and the reader is referred to on-line resources such

      as wwwpneumotoxcom [188] for continuously

      updated information on reported drug reactions Bleo-

      mycin is presented in this article because it causes sub-

      acute and chronic toxicity and has been used widely

      as an experimental model of pulmonary fibrosis

      Bleomycin

      Bleomycin is an antineoplastic agent that becomes

      concentrated in skin lungs and lymphatic fluid

      Pulmonary lesions may be dose-related [4041] and

      prior radiotherapy seems to predispose to toxicity

      [42] The initial site of injury in experimental models

      seems to be the venous endothelial cell [43] but type I

      cell injury allows fibrin and other serum proteins to

      leak into the alveolus Type II cell hyperplasia occurs

      as a regenerative phenomenon that results in atypical

      enlarged forms and intra-alveolar fibroplasia occurs

      (often in a subpleural distribution) eventually result-

      ing in alveolar septal widening (Fig 23)

      Perhaps the most important finding in the Katzen-

      stein and Fiorelli study was that their population of

      patients had morbidity and mortality rates signifi-

      cantly different from that of UIP in which reported

      mortality figures were more in the range of 90 with

      median survival in the range of 3 years Only 5 of 48

      patients with clinical follow-up died of progressive

      lung disease (11) whereas 39 patients either

      recovered or were alive with stable lung disease

      For the patients with follow-up no deaths were

      reported in group I patients whereas 3 patients from

      group II and 2 patients from group III died

      Unfortunately a significant number of patients were

      lost to follow-up and mean lengths of follow-up

      varied Since 1994 there have been several additional

      Currently UIP has been restricted to a subset of the

      UIP is a disease of older individuals typically

      older than 50 years [62] Men are slightly more

      3 years [3] and the mean survival after diagnosis has

      been reported as 42 years in a population-based

      study [63] Different from other chronic inflamma-

      tory lung diseases immunosuppressive therapy im-

      proves neither survival nor quality of life for patients

      with UIP [62]

      HRCT has added a new dimension to the diagnosis

      of UIP The abnormalities are most prominent at the

      periphery of the lungs and in the lung bases

      regardless of the stage [64] Irregular linear opacities

      result in a reticular pattern [64] Advanced lung

      remodeling with cyst formation (honeycombing) is

      seen in approximately 90 of patients at presentation

      [65] Ground-glass opacities can be seen in approxi-

      mately 80 of cases of UIP but are seldom extensive

      The gross examination of the lung often reveals a

      characteristic nodular external surface (Fig 29)

      Histopathologically UIP is best envisioned as a

      smoldering alveolitis of unknown cause accompanied

      by microscopic foci of injury repair and lung

      remodeling with dense fibrosis The disease begins

      at the periphery of the pulmonary lobule and has a

      consistent tendency to leave lung fibrosis and honey-

      comb cystic lung remodeling in its wake as it

      progresses from the periphery to the center of the

      lobule (Fig 30) This transition from dense fibrosis

      with or without honeycombing to near normal lung

      through an intermediate stage of alveolar organization

      and inflammation is the histologic hallmark of so-

      called lsquolsquotemporal heterogeneityrsquorsquo Thick irregular

      bundles of smooth muscle typically are present within

      areas of fibrosis (Fig 31) presumably arising as a

      consequence of progressive parenchymal collapse

      with incorporation of native airway and vascular

      smooth muscle into fibrosis Less well-recognized

      additional features of UIP are distortion and narrow-

      ing of bronchioles together with peribronchiolar

      fibrosis and inflammation This observation likely

      accounts for the functional evidence of small airway

      obstruction that may be found in UIP [66] Wide-

      spread bronchial dilation (traction bronchiectasis)

      may be present at postmortem examination in ad-

      being followed for IPF who suddenly develops acute

      respiratory distress that often is accompanied by

      fever elevation of the sedimentation rate marked

      increase in dyspnea and new infiltrates that often

      have an lsquolsquoalveolarrsquorsquo character radiologically For

      many years this manifestation was believed to be

      infectious pneumonia (possibly viral) superimposed

      on a fibrotic lung with marginal reserve Because

      cases are sufficiently common organisms are rarely

      identified and a small percentage of patients respond

      to pulse systemic corticosteroid therapy many inves-

      tigators consider such exacerbation to be a form of

      fulminant progression of the disease process itself

      Overall acute exacerbation has a poor prognosis and

      death within 1 week is not unusual Pathologically

      acute lung injury that resembles DAD or organizing

      pneumonia is superimposed on a background of

      peripherally accentuated lobular fibrosis with honey-

      combing This latter finding can be highlighted in

      tissue sections using the Masson trichrome stain for

      collagen (Fig 32) That acute exacerbation is a real

      phenomenon in IPF is underscored by the results of a

      recent large randomized trial of human recombinant

      interferon gamma 1b in IPF In this study of patients

      with early clinical disease (FVC 50 of predicted)

      44 of 330 enrolled subjects died unexpectedly within

      the 48-week trial period Eighty percent of deaths in

      the experimental and control groups were respiratory

      in origin and without a defined cause [67]

      Pattern 3 interstitial lung diseases dominated by

      interstitial mononuclear cells (chronic

      inflammation)

      The most classic manifestation of ILD is em-

      bodied in this pattern in which mononuclear in-

      flammatory cells (eg lymphocytes plasma cells and

      histiocytes) distend the interstitium of the alveolar

      walls The pattern is common and has several

      associated conditions (Box 6)

      Hypersensitivity pneumonitis

      Lung disease can result from inhalation of various

      organic antigens In most of these exposures the

      disease is immunologically mediated presumably

      through a type III hypersensitivity reaction although

      the immunologic mechanisms have not been well

      documented in all conditions [68] The prototypic

      example is so-called lsquolsquofarmerrsquos lungrsquorsquo which is

      caused by hypersensitivity to thermophilic actino-

      mycetes (Micromonospora vulgaris and Thermophyl-

      liae polyspora) that grow in moldy hay

      The radiologic appearance depends on the stage of

      the disease In the acute stage airspace consolidation

      is the dominant feature In the subacute stage there is

      a fine nodular pattern or ground-glass opacification

      The chronic stage is dominated by fibrosis with

      ute lung injury that resembles DAD or organizing pneumonia

      poorly defined centrilobular nodular opacities or

      symmetric bilateral ground-glass opacities which

      are often associated with lobular areas of air trapping

      [69] The chronic phase is characterized by irregular

      linear opacities (reticular pattern) that represent

      fibrosis which are usually most severe in the mid-

      lung zones [70]

      The classic histologic features of hypersensitivity

      pneumonia are presented in Table 6 Because biopsy

      is typically performed in the subacute phase the

      picture is usually one of a chronic inflammatory

      interstitial infiltrate with lymphocytes and variable

      numbers of plasma cells Lung structure is preserved

      and alveoli usually can be distinguished A few

      scattered poorly formed granulomas are seen in the

      interstitium (Fig 33) The epithelioid cells in the

      lsquolsquogranulomasrsquorsquo are loosely aggregated and mixed with

      lymphocytes Characteristically scattered giant cells

      of the foreign body type are seen around terminal

      airways and may contain cleft-like spaces or small

      particles that are doubly refractile (Fig 34) Terminal

      airways display chronic inflammation of their walls

      (bronchiolitis) often with destruction distortion and

      even occlusion Pale or lightly eosinophilic vacuo-

      lated macrophages are typically found in alveolar

      spaces and are a common sign of bronchiolar

      obstruction Similar macrophages also are seen within

      alveolar walls

      In the largest series reported the inciting allergen

      was not identified in 37 of patients who had

      unequivocal evidence of hypersensitivity pneumo-

      nitis on biopsy [71] even with careful retrospective

      search [72] As the condition becomes more chronic

      there is progressive distortion of the lung architecture

      by fibrosis and microscopic honeycombing occa-

      sionally attended by extensive pleural fibrosis At this

      stage the lesions are difficult to distinguish from

      Drug reactions

      Methotrexate

      Methotrexate seems to manifest pulmonary tox-

      icity through a hypersensitivity reaction [75] There

      does not seem to be a dose relationship to toxicity

      although intravenous administration has been shown

      to be associated with more toxic effects Symptoms

      typically begin with a cough that occurs within the

      first 3 months after administration and is accompanied

      by fever malaise and progressive breathlessness

      Peripheral eosinophilia occurs in a significant number

      of patients who develop toxicity A chronic interstitial

      infiltrate is observed in lung tissue with lymphocytes

      plasma cells and a few eosinophils (Fig 36) Poorly

      (Fig 37) Symptoms gradually abate after the drug

      is withdrawn [76] but systemic corticosteroids also

      have been used successfully

      Amiodarone

      Amiodarone is an effective agent used in the

      setting of refractory cardiac arrhythmias It is

      estimated that pulmonary toxicity occurs in 5 to

      10 of patients who take this medication and older

      patients seem to be at greater risk Toxicity is

      heralded by slowly progressive dyspnea and dry

      cough that usually occurs within months of initiating

      therapy In some patients the onset of disease may

      characteristic histopathologic findings are a chronic cellular

      rotizing granulomas that seemingly spill out of the terminal

      mimic infectious pneumonia [77ndash80] Diffuse infil-

      trates may be present on HRCT scans but basalar and

      peripherally accentuated high attenuation opacities

      and nonspecific infiltrates are described [8182]

      Amiodarone toxicity produces a cellular interstitial

      pneumonia associated with prominent intra-alveolar

      macrophages whose cytoplasm shows fine vacuola-

      tion [7783ndash85] This vacuolation is also present in

      adjacent reactive type 2 pneumocytes Characteristic

      lamellar cytoplasmic inclusions are present ultra-

      structurally [86] Unfortunately these cytoplasmic

      changes are an expected manifestation of the drug so

      their presence is not sufficient to warrant a diagnosis

      of amiodarone toxicity [83] Pleural inflammation

      and pleural effusion have been reported [87] Some

      patients with amiodarone toxicity develop an orga-

      Most patients who develop pulmonary toxicity

      related to amiodarone recover once the drug is dis-

      continued [777883ndash85]

      Idiopathic lymphoid interstitial pneumonia

      LIP is a clinical pathologic entity that fits

      descriptively within the chronic interstitial pneumo-

      nias By consensus LIP has been included in the

      current classification of the idiopathic interstitial

      pneumonias despite decades of controversy about

      what diseases are encompassed by this term In 1969

      Liebow and Carrington [3] briefly presented a group

      of patients and used the term LIP to describe their

      biopsy findings The defining criteria were morphol-

      ogic and included lsquolsquoan exquisitely interstitial infil-

      tratersquorsquo that was described as generally polymorphous

      and consisted of lymphocytes plasma cells and large

      mononuclear cells (Fig 38) Several associated

      clinical conditions have been described including

      connective tissue diseases bone marrow transplanta-

      tion acquired and congenital immunodeficiency

      syndromes and diffuse lymphoid hyperplasia of the

      intestine This disease is considered idiopathic only

      when a cause or association cannot be identified

      The idiopathic form of LIP occurs most com-

      monly between the ages of 50 and 70 but children

      may be affected Women are more commonly

      affected than men Cough dyspnea and progressive

      shortness of breath occur and often are accompanied

      by weight loss fever and adenopathy Dysproteine-

      mia with abnormalities in gamma globulin production

      is reported and pulmonary function studies show

      restriction with abnormal gas exchange The pre-

      dominant HRCT finding is ground-glass opacifica-

      tion [90] although thickening of the bronchovascular

      bundles and thin-walled cysts may be seen [90]

      LIP is best thought of as a histopathologic pattern

      rather than a diagnosis because LIP as proposed

      initially has morphologic features that are difficult to

      separate accurately from other lymphoplasmacellular

      interstitial infiltrates including low-grade lymphomas

      of extranodal marginal zone type (maltoma) The LIP

      pattern requires clinical and laboratory correlation for

      accurate assessment similar to organizing pneumo-

      nia NSIP and DIP The histopathologic hallmarks of

      the LIP pattern include diffuse interstitial infiltration

      by lymphocytes plasmacytoid lymphocytes plasma

      cells and histiocytes (Fig 39) Giant cells and small

      granulomas may be present [91] Honeycombing with

      interstitial fibrosis can occur Immunophenotyping

      shows lack of clonality in the lymphoid infiltrate

      When LIP accompanies HIV infection a wide age

      range occurs and it is commonly found in children

      [92ndash95] These HIV-infected patients have the same

      nonspecific respiratory symptoms but weight loss is

      more common Other features of HIV and AIDS

      such as lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly

      are also more common Mean survival is worse than

      that of LIP alone with adults living an average of

      14 months and children an average of 32 months

      [96] The morphology of LIP with or without HIV

      is similar

      Pattern 4 interstitial lung diseases dominated by

      airspace filling

      A significant number of ILDs are attended or

      dominated by the presence of material filling the

      alveolar spaces Depending on the composition of

      this airspace filling process a narrow differential

      diagnosis typically emerges The prototype for the

      airspace filling pattern is organizing pneumonia in

      which immature fibroblasts (myofibroblasts) form

      polypoid growths within the terminal airways and

      alveoli Organizing pneumonia is a common and

      nonspecific reaction to lung injury Other material

      also can occur in the airspaces such as neutrophils in

      the case of bacterial pneumonia proteinaceous

      material in alveolar proteinosis and even bone in

      so-called lsquolsquoracemosersquorsquo or dendritic calcification

      Neutrophils

      When neutrophils fill the alveolar spaces the

      disease is usually acute clinically and bacterial

      pneumonia leads the differential diagnosis (Fig 40)

      Rarely immunologically mediated pulmonary hem-

      orrhage can be associated with brisk episodes of

      neutrophilic capillaritis these cells can shed into the

      alveolar spaces and mimic bronchopneumonia

      Organizing pneumonia

      When fibroblasts fill the alveolar spaces the

      appropriate pathologic term is lsquolsquoorganizing pneumo-

      KO Leslie Clin Chest Med 25 (2004) 657ndash703 683

      niarsquorsquo although many clinicians believe that this is an

      automatic indictment of infection Unfortunately the

      lung has a limited capacity for repair after any injury

      and organizing pneumonia often is a part of this

      process regardless of the exact mechanism of injury

      The more generic term lsquolsquoairspace organizationrsquorsquo is

      preferable but longstanding habits are hard to

      change Some of the more common causes of the

      organizing pneumonia pattern are presented in Box 7

      One particular form of diffuse lung disease is

      characterized by airspace organization and is idio-

      pathic This clinicopathologic condition was previ-

      ously referred to as lsquolsquoidiopathic bronchiolitis obliterans

      organizing pneumoniarsquorsquo (idiopathic BOOP) The name

      of this disorder recently was changed to COP

      Idiopathic cryptogenic organizing pneumonia

      In 1983 Davison et al [97] described a group of

      patients with COP and 2 years later Epler et al [98]

      described similar cases as idiopathic BOOP The pro-

      cess described in these series is believed to be the

      same [1] as those cases described by Liebow and

      Carrington in 1969 as lsquolsquoidiopathic bronchiolitis oblit-

      sonable consensus has emerged regarding what is

      being called COP [97ndash100] King and Mortensen

      [101] recently compiled the findings from 4 major

      case series reported from North America adding 18

      of their own cases (112 cases in all) Based on

      these compiled data the following description of

      COP emerges

      The evolution of clinical symptoms is subacute

      (4 months on average and 3 months in most) and

      follows a flu-like illness in 40 of cases The average

      age at presentation is 58 years (range 21ndash80 years)

      and there is no sex predominance Dyspnea and

      cough are present in half the patients Fever is

      common and leukocytosis occurs in approximately

      one fourth The erythrocyte sedimentation rate is

      typically elevated [102] Clubbing is rare Restrictive

      lung disease is present in approximately half of the

      patients with COP and the diffusing capacity is

      reduced in most Airflow obstruction is mild and

      typically affects patients who are smokers

      Chest radiographs show patchy bilateral (some-

      times unilateral) nonsegmental airspace consolidation

      [103] which may be migratory and similar to those of

      eosinophilic pneumonia Reticulation may be seen in

      10 to 40 of patients but rarely is predominant

      [103104] The most characteristic HRCT features of

      COP are patchy unilateral or bilateral areas of

      consolidation which have a predominantly peribron-

      chial or subpleural distribution (or both) in approxi-

      mately 60 of cases In 30 to 50 of cases small

      ill-defined nodules (3ndash10 mm in diameter) are seen

      [105ndash108] and a reticular pattern is seen in 10 to

      30 of cases

      The major histopathologic feature of COP is

      alveolar space organization (so-called lsquolsquoMasson

      bodiesrsquorsquo) but it also extends to involve alveolar ducts

      and respiratory bronchioles in which the process has

      a characteristic polypoid and fibromyxoid appearance

      (Fig 41) The parenchymal involvement tends to be

      patchy All of the organization seems to be recent

      Unfortunately the term BOOP has become one of the

      most commonly misused descriptions in lung pathol-

      ogy much to the dismay of clinicians Pathologists

      use the term to describe nonspecific organization that

      occurs in alveolar ducts and alveolar spaces of lung

      biopsies Clinicians hear the term BOOP or BOOP

      pattern and often interpret this as a clinical diagnosis

      of idiopathic BOOP Because of this misuse there is a

      growing consensus [101109] regarding use of the

      term COP to describe the clinicopathologic entity for

      the following reasons (1) Although COP is primarily

      an organizing pneumonia in up to 30 or more of

      cases granulation tissue is not present in membra-

      nous bronchioles and at times may not even be seen

      Fig 41 Pattern 4 alveolar filling COP The major

      histopathologic feature of COP is alveolar space organiza-

      tion (so-called Masson bodies) but this also extends to

      involve alveolar ducts and respiratory bronchioles in which

      the process has a characteristic polypoid and fibromyxoid

      in respiratory bronchioles [97] (2) The term lsquolsquobron-

      chiolitis obliteransrsquorsquo has been used in so many

      different ways that it has become a highly ambiguous

      term (3) Bronchiolitis generally produces obstruction

      to airflow and COP is primarily characterized by a

      restrictive defect

      The expected prognosis of COP is relatively good

      In 63 of affected patients the condition resolves

      mainly as a response to systemic corticosteroids

      Twelve percent die typically in approximately

      3 months The disease persists in the remaining sub-

      set or relapses if steroids are tapered too quickly

      Patients with COP who fare poorly frequently have

      comorbid disorders such as connective tissue disease

      or thyroiditis or have been taking nitrofurantoin

      [110] A recent study showed that the presence of

      reticular opacities in a patient with COP portended

      a worse prognosis [111]

      Macrophages

      Macrophages are an integral part of the lungrsquos

      defense system These cells are migratory and

      generally do not accumulate in the lung to a

      significant degree in the absence of obstruction of

      the airways or other pathology In smokers dusty

      brown macrophages tend to accumulate around the

      terminal airways and peribronchiolar alveolar spaces

      and in association with interstitial fibrosis The

      cigarette smokingndashrelated airway disease known as

      respiratory bronchiolitisndashassociated ILD is discussed

      later in this article with the smoking-related ILDs

      Beyond smoking some infectious diseases are

      characterized by a prominent alveolar macrophage

      reaction such as the malacoplakia-like reaction to

      Rhodococcus equi infection in the immunocompro-

      mised host or the mucoid pneumonia reaction to

      cryptococcal pneumonia Conditions associated with

      a DIP-like reaction are presented in Box 8

      Eosinophilic pneumonia

      Acute eosinophilic pneumonia was discussed

      earlier with the acute ILDs but the acute and chronic

      forms of eosinophilic pneumonia often are accom-

      panied by a striking macrophage reaction in the

      airspaces Different from the macrophages in a

      patient with smoking-related macrophage accumula-

      tion the macrophages of eosinophilic pneumonia

      tend to have a brightly eosinophilic appearance and

      are plump with dense cytoplasm Multinucleated

      forms may occur and the macrophages may aggre-

      gate in sufficient density to suggest granulomas in the

      alveolar spaces When this occurs a careful search

      for eosinophils in the alveolar spaces and reactive

      type II cell hyperplasia is often helpful in distinguish-

      ing eosinophilic lung disease from other conditions

      characterized by a histiocytic reaction

      Idiopathic desquamative interstitial pneumonia

      In 1965 Liebow et al [112] described 18 cases of

      diffuse lung diseases that differed in many respects

      from UIP The striking histologic feature was the pre-

      sence of numerous cells filling the airspaces Liebow

      et al believed that the cells were chiefly desquamated

      alveolar epithelial lining cells and coined the term

      lsquolsquodesquamative interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo It is currently

      known that these cells are predominately macro-

      phages however [113] DIP and the cigarette smok-

      ingndashrelated disease known as RB-ILD are believed to

      be similar if not identical diseases possibly repre-

      senting different expressions of disease severity [115]

      RB-ILD is discussed later in this article in the section

      on smoking-related diffuse lung disease

      The patients described by Liebow et al [112] were

      on average slightly younger than patients with UIP

      and their symptoms were usually milder Clubbing

      was uncommon but in later series some patients with

      clubbing were identified [4] Most patients have a

      subacute lung disease of weeks to months of evo-

      lution The predominant finding on the radiograph and

      HRCT in patients with DIP consists of ground-glass

      opacities particularly at the bases and at the costo-

      phrenic angles [115] Some patients have mild reticu-

      lar changes superimposed on ground-glass opacities

      In lung biopsy the scanning magnification

      appearance of DIP is striking (Fig 42) The alveolar

      spaces are filled with lightly pigmented (brown)

      macrophages and multinucleated cells are commonly

      Fig 42 DIP The scanning magnification appearance of DIP is strik

      (brown) macrophages and multinucleated cells are commonly pre

      present Additional important features include the

      relative preservation of lung architecture with only

      mild thickening of alveolar walls and absence of

      severe fibrosis or honeycombing [116ndash118] Inter-

      stitial mononuclear inflammation is seen sometimes

      with scattered lymphoid follicles The histologic

      appearance of DIP is not specific It is commonly

      present in other diffuse and localized lung diseases

      including UIP asbestosis [119] and other dust-

      related diseases [120] DIP-like reactions occur after

      nitrofurantoin therapy [121122] and in alveolar

      spaces adjacent to the nodules of PLCH (see later

      section on smoking-related diseases)

      Cases have been reported in which classic DIP

      lsquolsquoprogressed to fibrosing alveolitisrsquorsquo [117123] It

      seems clear that DIP represents a nonspecific reaction

      and more commonly occurs in smokers It is critical

      to distinguish between DIP and UIP especially

      because these diseases are regarded as different from

      one another Research has shown conclusively that

      the clinical features are different the prognosis is

      much better in DIP and DIP may respond to

      corticosteroid administration [124] whereas UIP

      does not [62]

      Proteinaceous material

      When eosinophilic material fills the alveolar

      spaces the differential diagnosis includes pulmonary

      edema and alveolar proteinosis

      Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis

      PAP (alveolar lipoproteinosis) is a rare diffuse

      lung disease characterized by the intra-alveolar

      ing (A) The alveolar spaces are filled with lightly pigmented

      sent (B)

      accumulation of lipid-rich eosinophilic material

      [125] PAP likely occurs as a result of overproduction

      of surfactant by type II cells impaired clearance of

      surfactant by alveolar macrophages or a combination

      of these mechanisms The disease can occur as an

      idiopathic form but also occurs in the settings of

      occupational disease (especially dust-related) drug-

      induced injury hematologic diseases and in many

      settings of immunodeficiency [125ndash128] PAP is

      commonly associated with exposure to inhaled

      crystalline material and silica although other sub-

      stances have been implicated [126] The idiopathic

      form is the most common presentation with a male

      predominance and an age range of 30 to 50 years

      The usual presenting symptom is insidious dyspnea

      sometimes with cough [129] although the clinical

      symptoms are often less dramatic than the radio-

      logic abnormalities

      Chest radiographs show extensive bilateral air-

      space consolidation that involves mainly the perihilar

      regions CT demonstrates what seems to be smooth

      thickening of lobular septa that is not seen on the

      chest radiograph The thickening of lobular septae

      within areas of ground-glass attenuation is character-

      istic of alveolar proteinosis on CT and is referred to as

      lsquolsquocrazy pavingrsquorsquo [130] The areas of ground-glass

      attenuation and consolidation are often sharply

      demarcated from the surrounding normal lung with-

      out an apparent anatomic correlation [130ndash132]

      Histopathologically the scanning magnification

      appearance is distinctive if not diagnostic Pink

      granular material fills the airspaces often with a

      rim of retraction that separates the alveolar wall

      slightly from the exudate (Fig 43) Embedded

      clumps of dense globular granules and cholesterol

      clefts are seen (Fig 44) The periodic-acid Schiff

      Fig 43 PAP Pink granular material fills the airspaces in

      PAP often with a rim of retraction that separates the alveolar

      wall slightly from the exudate

      stain reveals a diastase-resistant positive reaction in

      the proteinaceous material of PAP Dramatic inflam-

      matory changes should suggest comorbid infection

      The idiopathic form of PAP has an excellent

      prognosis Many patients are only mildly symptom-

      atic In patients with severe dyspnea and hypoxemia

      treatment can be accomplished with one or more

      sessions of whole lung lavage which usually induces

      remission and excellent long-term survival [133]

      Pattern 5 interstitial lung diseases dominated by

      nodules

      Some ILDs are dominated by or significantly

      associated with nodules For most of the diffuse

      ILDs the nodules are small and appreciated best

      under the microscope In some instances nodules

      may be sufficiently large and diffuse in distribution

      that they are identified on HRCT In others cases a

      few large nodules may be present in two or more

      lobes or bilaterally (eg Wegener granulomatosis) For

      neoplasms that diffusely involve the lung the nodular

      pattern is overwhelmingly represented (eg lymphan-

      gitic carcinomatosis) The differential diagnosis of the

      nodular pattern is presented in Box 9

      Nodular granulomas

      When granulomas are present in a lung biopsy the

      differential diagnosis always includes infection

      sarcoidosis and berylliosis aspiration pneumonia

      and some lymphoproliferative diseases Hypersensi-

      tivity pneumonitis is classically grouped with lsquolsquogran-

      produces well-formed granulomas Hypersensitivity

      pneumonia is discussed under Pattern 3 because the

      pattern is more one of cellular chronic interstitial

      pneumonia with granulomas being subtle

      Granulomatous infection

      Most nodular granulomatous reactions in the lung

      are of infectious origin until proven otherwise

      especially in the presence of necrosis The infectious

      diseases that characteristically produce well-formed

      granulomas are typically caused by mycobacteria

      fungi and rarely bacteria Sometimes Pneumocystis

      infection produces a nodular pattern A list of the

      diffuse lung diseases associated with granulomas is

      presented in Box 10

      Sarcoidosis

      Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease

      of uncertain origin The disease commonly affects the

      lungs [134135] The origin pathogenesis and

      epidemiology of sarcoidosis suggest that it is a

      disorder of immune regulation [136ndash138] The

      observation that sarcoid granulomas recur after lung

      transplantation [139ndash141] seems to underscore fur-

      ther the notion that this is an acquired systemic

      abnormality of immunity It also emphasizes the fact

      that even profound immunosuppression (such as that

      used in transplantation) may be ineffective in halting

      disease progression for the subset whose condition

      persists and progresses to lung fibrosis

      Sarcoidosis occurs most frequently in young

      adults but has been described in all ages There is a

      decreased incidence of sarcoidosis in cigarette smok-

      ers Many patients with intrathoracic sarcoidosis are

      symptom free Systemic manifestations may be

      identified (in decreasing frequency) in lymph nodes

      eyes liver skin spleen salivary glands bone heart

      and kidneys Breathlessness is the most common

      pulmonary symptom

      The chest radiographic appearance is often char-

      acteristic with a combination of symmetrical bilateral

      hilar and paratracheal lymph node enlargement

      together with a varied pattern of parenchymal

      involvement including linear nodular and ground-

      glass opacities [142] In approximately 25 of the

      patients the radiographic appearance is atypical and

      in approximately 10 it is normal [143] Staging of

      the disease is based on pattern of involvement on

      plain chest radiographs only [135142]

      The histopathologic hallmark of sarcoidosis is the

      presence of well-formed granulomas without necrosis

      (Fig 45) Granulomas are classically distributed

      along lymphatic channels of the bronchovascular

      bundles interlobular septa and pleura (Fig 46) The

      area between granulomas is frequently sclerotic and

      adjacent small granulomas tend to coalesce into larger

      nodules Because of involvement of the broncho-

      vascular bundles and the characteristic histology

      sarcoidosis is one of the few diffuse lung diseases

      that can be diagnosed with a high degree of success

      by transbronchial biopsy (Fig 47) [144] Although

      necrosis is not a feature of the disease sometimes

      sarcoidosis is the presence of well-formed granulomas

      without necrosis

      bronchovascular bundles and the characteristic histology

      sarcoidosis is one of the few diffuse lung diseases that can

      be diagnosed with a high degree of success by trans-

      bronchial biopsy An interstitial granuloma is present at the

      bifurcation of a bronchiole which makes it an excellent

      target for biopsy

      KO Leslie Clin Chest Med 25 (2004) 657ndash703688

      foci of granular eosinophilic material may be seen at

      the center of the granulomas The lsquolsquodirtyrsquorsquo necrosis so

      typical of mycobacterial and fungal disease granu-

      lomas is not seen Distinctive inclusions may be

      present within giant cells in the granulomas such as

      asteroid and Schaumannrsquos bodies (Fig 48) but these

      can be seen in other granulomatous diseases There

      is a generally held belief that a mild interstitial inflam-

      matory infiltrate accompanies granulomas in sar-

      coidosis [145ndash147] If this lsquolsquointerstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo

      of sarcoidosis exists it is subtle in the best example

      and consists of a few lymphocytes mononuclear

      cells and macrophages

      The prognosis for patients with sarcoidosis is

      excellent The disease typically resolves or improves

      along lymphatic channels in sarcoidosis that involves the

      bronchovascular bundles interlobular septae and pleura

      cant pulmonary fibrosis Most patients recover com-

      pletely with minimal residual disease

      Berylliosis

      Occupational exposure to beryllium was first

      recognized as a health hazard in fluorescent lamp

      factory workers The use of beryllium in this industry

      was discontinued but because of berylliumrsquos remark-

      able structural characteristics it continues to be used

      in metallic alloy and oxide forms in numerous

      industries Berylliosis may occur as acute and chronic

      forms The acute disease is usually seen in refinery

      within giant cells in the granulomas such as this asteroid

      body These are not specific for sarcoidosis and are not seen

      affected The radiologic findings are similar to

      sarcoidosis except that hilar and mediastinal aden-

      with 80 to 90 in sarcoidosis [148149] Beryllio-

      Nodular lymphohistiocytic lesions (lymphoid cells

      Follicular bronchiolitis

      When lymphoid germinal centers (secondary

      lymphoid follicles) are present in the lung biopsy

      (Fig 49) the differential diagnosis always includes a

      lung manifestation of RA Sjogrenrsquos syndrome or

      other systemic connective tissue disease immuno-

      globulin deficiency diffuse lymphoid hyperplasia

      and malignant lymphoma When in doubt immuno-

      Diffuse panbronchiolitis

      Diffuse panbronchiolitis can produce a dramatic

      diffuse nodular pattern in lung biopsies This

      condition is a distinctive form of chronic bronchi-

      olitis seen almost exclusively in people of East

      Asian descent (ie Japan Korea China) Diffuse

      panbronchiolitis may occur rarely in individuals in

      the United States [151ndash153] and in patients of non-

      Asian descent

      ters (secondary lymphoid follicles) are present around a

      Severe chronic inflammation is centered on

      respiratory bronchioles early in the disease followed

      by involvement of distal membranous bronchioles

      and peribronchiolar alveolar spaces as the disease

      progresses A characteristic low magnification ap-

      pearance is that of nodular bronchiolocentric lesions

      (Fig 50) The characteristic and nearly diagnostic

      feature of diffuse panbronchiolitis is the accumulation

      of many pale vacuolated macrophages in the walls

      and lumens of respiratory bronchioles and in adjacent

      airspaces (Fig 51) Japanese investigators suspect

      that the condition occurs in the United States and has

      been underrecognized This view was substantiated

      Nodules of neoplastic cells

      Isolated nodules of neoplastic cells occur com-

      radiologic context of ILD lymphangitic carcinoma-

      produce diffuse ILD typically with small nodules

      and cysts LAM is discussed later in this article under

      Pattern 6 PLCH also can produce small nodules and

      cysts diffusely in the lung (typically in the upper lung

      zones) and this entity is discussed with the smoking-

      related interstitial diseases

      Lymphangitic carcinomatosis

      Pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis (lym-

      phangitis carcinomatosa) is a form of metastatic

      carcinoma that involves the lung primarily within

      lymphatics The disease produces a miliary nodular

      pattern at scanning magnification Lymphangitic

      carcinoma is typically adenocarcinoma The most

      common sites of origin are breast lung and stomach

      although primary disease in pancreas ovary kidney

      and uterine cervix also can give rise to this

      manifestation of metastatic spread Patients often

      present with insidious onset of dyspnea that is

      frequently accompanied by an irritating cough The

      radiographic abnormalities include linear opacities

      Kerley B lines subpleural edema and hilar and

      mediastinal lymph node enlargement [154] The

      HRCT findings are highly characteristic and accu-

      rately reflect the microscopic distribution in this

      disease with uneven thickening of the bronchovas-

      cular bundles and lobular septa which gives them a

      beaded appearance [155156]

      Histopathologically malignant tumor cells are

      typically present in small aggregates within lym-

      phatic channels of the bronchovascular sheath and

      pleura (Fig 52) Variable amounts of tumor may be

      present throughout the lung in the interstitium of the

      alveolar walls in the airspaces and in small muscular

      pulmonary arteries This latter finding (microangio-

      pathic obliterative endarteritis) may be the origin of

      the edema inflammation and interstitial fibrosis that

      frequently accompany the disease and likely accounts

      for the clinical and radiologic impression of nonneo-

      plastic diffuse lung disease [154157]

      Pattern 6 interstitial lung disease with subtle

      findings in surgical biopsies (chronic evolution)

      A limited differential diagnosis is invoked by the

      relative absence of abnormalities in a surgical lung

      biopsy (Box 11) Three main categories of disease

      emerge in this setting (1) diseases of the small

      rheumatoid bronchiolitis complex bronchiolar metaplasia

      involves a membranous bronchiole accompanied by fol-

      licular bronchiolitis Small rheumatoid nodules (similar to

      those that occur around the joints) also can be seen

      occasionally in the walls of airways which results in partial

      or total occlusion

      airways (eg constrictive bronchiolitis) (2) vasculo-

      pathic conditions (eg pulmonary hypertension) and

      (3) two diseases that may be dominated by cysts the

      rare disease known as LAM and PLCH in the in-

      active or healed phase of the disease All of these may

      be dramatic in biopsy specimens but when con-

      fronted with the lsquolsquonearly normalrsquorsquo lung biopsy in a pa-

      tient with significant clinical disease these three

      groups of diseases dominate the differential diagnosis

      Small airways disease and constrictive bronchiolitis

      Obliteration of the small membranous bronchioles

      can occur as a result of infection toxic inhalational

      exposure drugs systemic connective tissue diseases

      and as an idiopathic form Outside of the setting of

      lung transplantation in which so-called lsquolsquobronchio-

      litis obliteransrsquorsquo (having histopathology similar to

      constrictive bronchiolitis) occurs as a chronic mani-

      olitis This inflammatory injury may be followed by

      the accumulation of loose granulation tissue and

      finally by complete stenosis and occlusion of the

      airways The best known of these agents are nitrogen

      dioxide [158] sulfur dioxide [159] and ammonia

      [160] Viral infection also can cause permanent

      bronchiolar injury particularly adenovirus infection

      [161] Mycoplasma pneumonia is also cited as a

      potential cause [162] The course of events is similar

      to that for the toxic gases Variable degrees of

      bronchiectasis or bronchioloectasis may occur sec-

      ondarily up- and downstream from the area of

      occlusion Lung biopsy is performed rarely and then

      usually because the patient is young and unusual

      airflow obstruction is present Occasionally mixed

      obstruction and restriction may occur presumably on

      the basis of diffuse peribronchiolar scarring This

      airway-associated scarring may produce CT findings

      of lsquolsquointerstitialrsquorsquo disease The airway lesions are subtle

      but can be recognized by variable reduction in

      bronchiolar luminal diameter compared with the

      adjacent pulmonary artery branch (Normally these

      should be roughly equal in diameter when viewed

      as cross-sections) The diagnosis depends on careful

      clinical correlation and sometimes the addition of a

      comparison between inspiratory and expiratory

      HRCT scans which typically shows prominent

      mosaic air trapping

      Rheumatoid bronchiolitis

      Patients with RA may develop constrictive bron-

      chiolitis as a consequence of their disease In some

      patients small rheumatoid nodules can be seen in the

      walls of airways which results in their partial or total

      occlusion (Fig 53) From a practical point of view

      the lesions are focal within the airways often in small

      bronchi and may not be visualized easily in the

      biopsy specimen Because of the widespread recog-

      nition of rheumatoid bronchiolitis biopsy is rarely

      performed in these patients Morphologically scat-

      tered occlusion of small bronchi and bronchioles is

      observed and is associated with the presence of loose

      connective tissue in their lumens

      Neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia with occlusive

      bronchiolar fibrosis

      In 1992 Aguayo et al [163] reported six patients

      with moderate chronic airflow obstruction all of

      whom never smoked Diffuse neuroendocrine cell

      hyperplasia of the bronchioles associated with partial

      or total occlusion of airway lumens by fibrous tissue

      was present in all six patients (Fig 54) Three of the

      patients also had peripheral carcinoid tumors and

      three had progressive dyspnea

      In a study of 25 peripheral carcinoid tumors that

      occurred in smokers and nonsmokers Miller and

      Muller [164] identified 19 patients (76) with

      neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of the airways which

      occurred mostly in bronchioles Eight patients (32)

      bronchioles associated with partial or total occlusion of airway lumens by fibrous tissue is a rare cause of unexplained airflow

      Fig 55 Cryptogenic constrictive bronchiolitis is commonly

      recognized as an expression of chronic organ rejection in the

      setting of lung transplantation (bronchiolitis obliterans

      syndrome) It also occurs on the basis of many other injuries

      and exists as an idiopathic form In this photograph taken

      from a biopsy in a lung transplant patient the bronchiole can

      be seen at center right but the lumen is filled with loose

      fibroblasts (note the adjacent pulmonary artery upper left)

      were found to have occlusive bronchiolar fibrosis

      Four of the 8 had mild chronic airflow obstruction

      and 2 of these 4 patients were nonsmokers

      An increase in neuroendocrine cells was present in

      more than 20 of bronchioles examined in lung

      adjacent to the tumor and in tissue blocks taken well

      away from tumor Less than half of these airways

      were partially or totally occluded The mildest lesion

      consisted of linear zones of neuroendocrine cell

      hyperplasia with focal subepithelial fibrosis The

      most severely involved bronchioles showed total

      luminal occlusion by fibrous tissue with few visible

      neuroendocrine cells

      In both of these studies most of the patients with

      airway neuroendocrine hyperplasia were women Pre-

      sumably fibrosis in this setting of neuroendocrine

      hyperplasia is related to one or more peptides se-

      creted by neuroendocrine cells possibly these cells are

      more effective in stimulating airway fibrosis inwomen

      Cryptogenic constrictive bronchiolitis

      Unexplained chronic airflow obstruction that

      occurs in nonsmokers may be a result of selective

      (and likely multifocal) obliteration of the membra-

      nous bronchioles (constrictive bronchiolitis) In a

      study of 2094 patients with a forced expiratory

      volume in the first second (FEV1) of less than

      60 of predicted [165] 10 patients (9 women) were

      identified They ranged in age from 27 to 60 years

      Five were found to have RA and presumably

      rheumatoid bronchiolitis The other 5 had airflow

      obstruction of unknown cause believed to be caused

      by lsquolsquobronchiolitisrsquorsquo Other studies also identified a

      cryptogenic form of bronchiolar disease that produces

      airflow obstruction [166167] When biopsies have

      been performed constrictive bronchiolitis seems to

      be the common pathologic manifestation (Fig 55)

      It is fair to conclude that a rare but fairly distinct

      clinical syndrome exists that consists of mild airflow

      obstruction and usually affects middle-aged women

      who manifest nonspecific respiratory symptoms

      such as cough and dyspnea It is possible that these

      cryptogenic cases of constrictive bronchiolitis are

      manifestations of undeclared systemic connective

      tissue disease the sequelae of prior undetected

      community-acquired infections (eg viral myco-

      plasmal chlamydial) or exposure to toxin

      Interstitial lung disease dominated by

      airway-associated scarring

      A form of small airway-associated ILD has been

      described in recent years under the names lsquolsquoidiopathic

      bronchiolocentric interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo [168] and

      lsquolsquoairway-centered interstitial fibrosisrsquorsquo [169] Affected

      patients have more of a restrictive than obstructive

      functional deficit and the process is characterized

      histopathologically by the presence of significant

      small airwayndashassociated scarring similar to that seen

      in forms of chronic hypersensitivity pneumonia

      certain chronic inhalational injuries (including sub-

      clinical chronic aspiration pneumonia) and even

      some examples of late-stage inactive PLCH (which

      typically lacks characteristic Langerhansrsquo cells) This

      morphologic group may pose diagnostic challenges

      because of the absence of interstitial inflammatory

      changes despite the radiologic and functional impres-

      sion of ILD

      Vasculopathic disease

      Diseases that involve the small arteries and veins

      of the lung can be subtle when viewed from low

      not to imply that the entities of pulmonary hyper-

      tension capillary hemangiomatosis and veno-occlu-

      sive disease are always subtle (Fig 57) A complete

      discussion of these disease conditions is beyond the

      has little pathology evident at scanning magnifica-

      tion a careful evaluation of the pulmonary arteries

      formation of cysts [170ndash173] The disease is

      centered on lymphatic channels blood vessels and

      airways LAM is a disease of women typically in

      their childbearing years The disease does occur in

      older women and rarely in men [174] There is a

      strong association between the inherited genetic

      disorder known as tuberous sclerosis complex and

      the occurrence of LAM Most patients with LAM do

      not have tuberous sclerosis complex but approxi-

      mately one fourth of patients with tuberous sclerosis

      complex have LAM as diagnosed by chest HRCT

      [175] The most common presenting symptoms are

      spontaneous pneumothorax and exertional dyspnea

      Others symptoms include chyloptosis hemoptysis

      and chest pain The characteristic findings on CT are

      numerous cysts separated by normal-appearing lung

      parenchyma The cysts range from 2 to 10 mm in

      diameter and are seen much better with HRCT

      [171176]

      The appearance of the abnormal smooth muscle in

      LAM is sufficiently characteristic so that once

      recognized it is rarely forgotten Cystic spaces are

      present at low magnification (Fig 58) The walls of

      these spaces have variable amounts of bundled

      spindled cells (Fig 59) The nuclei of these spindled

      cells (Fig 60) are larger than those of normal smooth

      muscle bundles seen around alveolar ducts or in the

      walls of airways or vessels Immunohistochemical

      staining is positive in these cells using antibodies

      directed against the melanoma markers HMB45 and

      Mart-1 (Fig 61) These findings may be useful in the

      evaluation of transbronchial biopsy in which only a

      few spindled cells may be present Actin desmin

      estrogen receptors and progesterone receptors also

      can be demonstrated in the spindled cells of LAM

      present including peculiar nodules of hyperplastic

      pneumocytes (Fig 62) that lack immunoreactivity

      for HMB45 or Mart-1 but show immunoreactivity for

      cytokeratins and surfactant apoproteins [178] These

      epithelial lesions have been referred to as lsquolsquomicro-

      related diseases the first of which is related to DIP

      and likely represents an earlier stage or alternate

      lated components in the setting of cigarette smoking

      Respiratory bronchiolitisndashassociated interstitial lung

      disease

      Respiratory bronchiolitis is a common finding in

      the lungs of cigarette smokers and some investiga-

      tors consider this lesion to be a precursor of centri-

      acinar emphysema Respiratory bronchiolitis affects

      the terminal airways and is characterized by delicate

      fibrous bands that radiate from the peribronchiolar

      connective tissue into the surrounding lung (Fig 64)

      Dusty appearing tan-brown pigmented alveolar

      macrophages are present in the adjacent airspaces

      and a mild amount of interstitial chronic inflamma-

      tion is present Bronchiolar metaplasia (extension of

      terminal airway epithelium to alveolar ducts) is

      usually present to some degree In the bronchioles

      submucosal fibrosis may be present but constrictive

      changes are not a characteristic finding When

      respiratory bronchiolitis becomes extensive and

      patients have signs and symptoms of ILD use of

      the term RB-ILD has been suggested [180181] The

      exact relationship between RB-ILD and DIP is

      unclear and in smokers these two conditions are

      probably part of a continuous spectrum of disease

      Symptoms of RB-ILD include dyspnea excess

      sputum production and cough [182] Rarely patients

      may be asymptomatic Men are slightly more

      can be viewed as interrelated components in the setting of

      airways of smokers and is characterized by delicate fibrous

      bands that radiate from the peribronchiolar connective tissue

      inflammation is typically present and brown pigmented

      smokers macrophages are seen in terminal airways and

      macrophages are present in the airspaces around the

      terminal airways with variable bronchiolar metaplasia

      tory bronchiolitis

      commonly affected than women and the mean age of

      onset is approximately 36 years (range 22ndash53 years)

      The average pack year smoking history is 32 (range

      7ndash75)

      Most patients with respiratory bronchiolitis alone

      have normal radiologic studies The most common

      findings in RB-ILD include thickening of the

      bronchial walls ground-glass opacities and poorly

      defined centrilobular nodular opacities [183] Be-

      cause most patients with RB-ILD are heavy smokers

      centrilobular emphysema is common

      On histopathologic examination lightly pig-

      mented macrophages are present in the airspaces

      around the terminal airways with variable bronchiolar

      metaplasia (Fig 65) Iron stains may reveal delicate

      positive staining within these cells The relatively

      patchy nature of the disease is important in differ-

      entiating RB-ILD from DIP (Fig 66) A spectrum of

      pathologic severity emerges with isolated lesions of

      respiratory bronchiolitis on one end and diffuse

      macrophage accumulation in DIP on the other RB-

      ILD exists somewhere in between The diagnosis of

      RB-ILD should be reserved for situations in which

      respiratory bronchiolitis is prominent with associated

      clinical and pathologic ILD [184] No other cause for

      ILD should be apparent The prognosis is excellent

      and there does not seem to be evidence for pro-

      gression to end-stage fibrosis in the absence of other

      lung disease

      Pulmonary Langerhansrsquo cell histiocytosis

      PLCH (formerly known as pulmonary eosino-

      philic granuloma or pulmonary histiocytosis X) is

      currently recognized as a lung disease strongly

      associated with cigarette smoking Proliferation of

      Langerhansrsquo cells is associated with the formation of

      stellate airway-centered lung scars and cystic change

      in affected individuals The incidence of the disease is

      unknown but it is generally considered to be a rare

      complication of cigarette smoking [185]

      is illustrated in this figure Tractional emphysema with cyst

      basophilic nucleus with characteristic sharp nuclear folds

      that resemble crumpled tissue paper

      PLCH affects smokers between the ages of 20 and

      40 The most common presenting symptom is cough

      with dyspnea but some patients may be asymptom-

      atic despite chest radiographic abnormalities Chest

      pain fever weight loss and hemoptysis have been

      reported to occur HRCT scan shows nearly patho-

      gnomonic changes including predominately upper

      and middle lung zone nodules and cysts [185186]

      The classic lesion of PLCH is illustrated in

      Fig 67 Characteristically the nodules have a stellate

      shape and are always centered on the bronchioles

      Fig 68 PLCH Immunohistochemistry using antibodies

      directed against S100 protein and CD1a is helpful in

      highlighting numerous positively stained Langerhansrsquo cells

      within the cellular lesions (immunohistochemical stain using

      antibodies directed against S100 protein) (immuno-alkaline

      phosphatase method brown chromogen)

      Pigmented alveolar macrophages and variable num-

      bers of eosinophils surround and permeate the

      lesions Immunohistochemistry using antibodies

      directed against S100 proteinCD1a highlight numer-

      ous positive Langerhansrsquo cells at the periphery of the

      cellular lesions (Fig 68) The Langerhansrsquo cell has a

      slightly pale basophilic nucleus with characteristic

      sharp nuclear folds that resemble crumpled tissue

      paper (Fig 69) One or two small nucleoli are usually

      present Late lesions (so-called lsquolsquoinactiversquorsquo or

      resolved PLCH) consist only of fibrotic centrilobular

      scars [187] with a stellate configuration (Fig 70)

      Microcysts and honeycombing may be present

      Immunohistochemistry for S-100 protein and CD1a

      may be used to confirm the diagnosis but this is

      usually unnecessary and even may be confounding in

      late lesions in which Langerhansrsquo cells may be

      sparse and the stellate scar is the diagnostic lesion

      Up to 20 of transbronchial biopsies in patients

      with Langerhansrsquo cell histiocytosis may have diag-

      nostic changes The presence of more than 5

      Langerhansrsquo cells in bronchoalveolar lavage is

      considered diagnostic of Langerhansrsquo cell histiocy-

      tosis in the appropriate clinical setting Unfortunately

      cigarette smokers without Langerhansrsquo cell histiocy-

      tosis also may have increased numbers of Langer-

      hansrsquo cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage

        lung injury related to drug toxicity or connective

        tissue disease In the immunocompromised patient

        infection dominates this picture

        Infections

        A complete discussion of pulmonary infections

        that produce acute lung injury is beyond the scope of

        this article Bacteria fungi and viruses can produce

        acute lung injury and are the diagnosis of exclusion in

        this setting Viruses are the most common of these

        infections to cause diffuse acute lung injury The

        more common viruses that cause pneumonia and their

        susceptible hosts are presented in Table 3

        Drugs and radiation reactions

        Medications taken orally or by injection may

        produce various lesions within the lung including

        DAD pulmonary edema asthma eosinophilic pneu-

        monia and even advanced fibrosis [56] For many

        drugs acute and chronic forms of toxicity have been

        reported This discussion emphasizes a few reactions

        that classically manifest as acute lung disease and

        highlight those that may produce chronic disease

        Nitrofurantoin

        Nitrofurantoin is an antimicrobial agent used in

        the treatment of urinary tract infections This agent is

        responsible for more cases of pulmonary toxicity than

        any other drug with acute and chronic reactions

        reported [78] Acute reactions are accompanied by

        fever dyspnea and peripheral eosinophilia which

        typically appear within 2 weeks of initiating therapy

        The histopathologic findings are similar to those of

        acute eosinophilic pneumonia Chronic reactions

        occur in a few patients taking the drug and clinical

        manifestations appear after 1 to 6 months of treat-

        ment The chronic cases are more often subjected to

        biopsy and show interstitial inflammation and fibrosis

        accompanied by vascular sclerosis

        Cytotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs

        The most common group of drugs that produces

        acute lung injury includes the antineoplastic agents

        From a clinical standpoint some drugs (eg 5-fluoro-

        uracil vinblastine cytarabine adriamycin thiotepa

        azathioprine) almost never produce pulmonary dis-

        ease With increasing numbers of newer antineo-

        plastic agents being used pulmonary toxicity

        undoubtedly will increase Excellent on-line re-

        sources that provide comprehensive and up-to-date

        lists of these agents are available [9]

        Analgesics

        Heroin [10] methadone propoxyphene and even

        aspirin can produce acute lung reactions [1112]

        Toxicity typically results from overdose and is

        characterized by pulmonary edema sometimes com-

        plicated by aspiration of gastric contents When pill

        binding agents such as talc or microcrystalline

        cellulose are injected with a drug intravenously a

        foreign body giant cell reaction may be seen in lung

        tissue in a characteristic perivascular distribution

        Radiation pneumonitis

        Radiation therapy was a common cause of acute

        lung injury before improved technology and modi-

        fications in dosing were instituted [13] Radiation

        injury can be exacerbated by infection [14] and

        chemotherapeutic drugs [15] Initial clinical signs and

        symptoms often are absent or mild In the acute

        phase chest radiographs and high-resolution CT

        (HRCT) reveal ground-glass opacities or airspace

        consolidation with some loss of lung volume

        Acute eosinophilic lung disease

        Acute lung injury that occurs in the presence of

        significant numbers of tissue eosinophils is referred

        to as lsquolsquoacute eosinophilic lung diseasersquorsquo Peripheral

        blood and bronchoalveolar lavage eosinophils are

        commonly elevated in these conditions Eosinophilia

        may not be persistent throughout the disease and

        eosinophilic vasculitis is not a prerequisite for the

        diagnosis in lung tissue Several forms have been

        described over the years the mildest of which has

        been referred to as Loeffler syndrome or simple

        eosinophilic pneumonia Ascaris infestation was

        documented eventually in the initial series by

        Loeffler which led to the hypothesis that simple

        eosinophilic pneumonia was a manifestation of

        hypersensitivity to Ascaris antigens

        The second form occurs commonly in patients

        with asthma presumably as an allergic manifestation

        to an unknown antigen The clinical course is more

        chronic and typically evolves slowly over many

        months Patients with the lsquolsquochronicrsquorsquo form of eosino-

        philic pneumonia may have a typical clinical syn-

        drome and radiographic appearance [16]

        Finally a dramatic new manifestation of idio-

        pathic eosinophilic lung disease has been described

        that is characterized by rapid onset of breathlessness

        in an otherwise healthy young adult without asthma

        [17] This form may mimic DAD clinically and patho-

        logically even with the presence of hyaline mem-

        branes The importance of recognizing this entity lies

        in its excellent prognosis and characteristic rapid

        response to corticosteroid therapy

        Some other well-recognized associations have

        been described with eosinophilic pneumonia The

        best example is that produced by sensitivity to nitro-

        furantoin and other drugs Eosinophilic pneumonia in

        the presence of asthma may be a manifestation of

        hypersensitivity to aspergillus and other fungal organ-

        isms (eg allergic bronchopulmonary fungal disease)

        The histopathologic features of eosinophilic pneu-

        monia include intra-alveolar eosinophils fibrin and

        plump eosinophilic macrophages surrounded by

        striking reactive type II cell hyperplasia (Fig 9)

        Acute fibrinous pleuritis may occur Eosinophilic

        microabscesses and eosinophilic vasculitis may be

        present but are not necessary for the diagnosis

        (Fig 10)

        Acute pulmonary manifestations of the collagen

        vascular diseases

        The most common acute manifestation of the

        collagen vascular diseases is DAD but diffuse

        pulmonary hemorrhage also occurs The more com-

        mon collagen vascular diseases that produce acute

        manifestations are presented herein

        Rheumatoid arthritis

        Nearly one-half of all patients with rheumatoid

        arthritis (RA) develop one or more forms of

        rheumatoid lung disease [18] and patients with more

        severe joint involvement are more likely to develop

        pleuropulmonary manifestations Lung disease typi-

        cally follows the development of joint disease but

        occasionally the lung or pleura may herald the

        disease DAD is a well-recognized complication of

        RA [19]

        Systemic lupus erythematosus

        Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) also com-

        monly involves the lungs and pleura [18] Painful

        pleuritis with or without effusion is the most common

        abnormality [20] but acute lupus pneumonitis is a

        potentially disastrous complication with a mortality

        rate of 50 [21] Acute lupus pneumonitis is

        characterized morphologically by DAD Diffuse

        pulmonary hemorrhage also may occur usually

        accompanied by vasculitis and capillaritis (Fig 11)

        Immune complexes may be identified on capillary

        basement membranes in this setting [22]

        Dermatomyositis-polymyositis

        DAD is not common in dermatomyositis-poly-

        myositis but the clinical presentation may be

        particularly dramatic Tazelaar et al [23] presented

        14 patients with dermatomyositis-polymyositis who

        developed lung disease Three patients developed

        DAD all of whom died most frequently in the acute

        episode The authors also reviewed 27 additional

        cases of dermatomyositis-polymyositis lung disease

        reported in the literature and found similar results

        DAD may be the first clinical manifestation of

        dermatomyositis-polymyositis and may precede the

        clinical and serologic diagnosis of the disease by

        many months

        Acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia

        A new entity with some similarities to DAD

        dence of infection Like DAD acute fibrinous and

        organizing pneumonia can be idiopathic or associated

        with several underlying or associated conditions

        such as collagen vascular disease drug reaction

        and occupational exposures Survival is similar to

        DAD in general but the requirement for mechanical

        ventilation was associated with a worse prognosis

        Acute diffuse alveolar hemorrhage

        Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is character-

        ized by a triad of (1) hemoptysis (2) anemia and

        (3) bilateral ground-glass opacities (or consolidation)

        that rapidly wax and wane Hemorrhage and hemo-

        siderin-laden macrophages in alveolar spaces are

        essential to the pathologic diagnosis [25ndash27] In

        practice artifactual hemorrhage can occur commonly

        in lung biopsy specimens Hemosiderin-laden macro-

        phages (with coarsely granular golden-brown refrac-

        tile pigment) always should be present in the alveolar

        spaces before one invokes the diagnosis of DAH

        (Fig 13) The differential diagnosis of DAH is pre-

        sented in Box 4

        Antiglomerular basement membrane disease

        (Goodpasturersquos syndrome)

        When diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage occurs with

        renal disease in the presence of circulating antibodies

        against glomerular basement membranes the con-

        dition is referred to as antiglomerular basement

        membrane disease [28ndash31] Lung biopsy is less

        desirable than kidney as a diagnostic specimen in

        Fig 13 DAH Fresh blood in the lung is not sufficient

        evidence for a diagnosis of DAH Hemosiderin-laden

        macrophages with coarsely granular golden-brown refractile

        pigment always should be present

        antiglomerular basement membrane disease but

        because renal disease is commonly occult at the time

        of presentation the lung is often the first tissue

        sample examined by the pathologist Unfortunately

        the lung findings are relatively nonspecific and

        consist of fresh alveolar hemorrhage hemosiderin

        deposition in macrophages (siderophages) and vari-

        able interstitial inflammation with delicate interstitial

        fibrosis (Fig 14) The presence of capillaritis in the

        alveolar wall is also helpful in distinguishing anti-

        glomerular basement membrane disease from idio-

        pathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) and chronic

        passive lung congestion The results of immunofluo-

        rescent studies on lung tissue are not as reliable as

        they are on kidney tissue [30] and for cost-effective

        practice we generally recommend serologic confir-

        mation (radioimmunoassay or ELISA) even when

        appropriately preserved lung tissue is available

        Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage associated with the

        systemic collagen vascular diseases

        DAH may occur as a consequence of several

        immune-mediated vasculitides including those that

        occur in the setting of collagen vascular disease

        Potential causes of DAH in this setting include

        microscopic polyangiitis SLE Wegenerrsquos granulo-

        matosis cryoglobulinemia RA crescentic glomeru-

        lonephritis and scleroderma [25272930] The

        common histopathologic feature is acute capillaritis

        with or without larger vessel vasculitis (Fig 15)

        Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis

        In the absence of renal disease or demonstrable

        immunologic disease DAH has been termed IPH

        Fig 15 DAH in the collagen vascular diseases The common histo

        disease is acute capillaritis (A) with or without larger vessel vascu

        IPH occurs most commonly in children younger

        than 10 years and young adults in the second and

        third decades of life Anemia is accompanied by

        bilateral areas of consolidation on the chest radio-

        graph The sexes are equally affected in the younger

        age group but men predominate in the older age

        group The histopathology is similar to that of

        antiglomerular basement membrane disease namely

        alveolar hemorrhage and hemosiderin-laden macro-

        phages but in IPH there is less interstitial inflam-

        causes of ARDS must be absent (ie shock sepsis

        trauma aspiration or drug toxicity)

        Surgical lung biopsies show DAD in varying

        stages (Fig 17) The changes observed in biopsy

        specimens depend on the stage at which the biopsy is

        taken and tend to be relatively diffuse throughout the

        specimen Like other forms of DAD the early stages

        show an exudative phase with edema and hyaline

        membranes Bronchioles may show squamous meta-

        plasia that extend peripherally to involve adjacent

        alveolar walls Organizing arterial thrombi were seen

        in five of the seven patients who died in the Kat-

        zenstein series [32] In the last stages fibrosis distorts

        the lung architecture

        Collagen vascular disease or allergic disorders

        may be responsible for many cases of acute inter-

        stitial pneumonia although they may not be clinically

        apparent at the time of presentation acute interstitial

        pneumonia has been formally added to the classi-

        fication of the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias by a

        recent international consensus committee [4]

        Pattern 2 interstitial lung disease dominated by

        fibrosis (typically months to years in evolution)

        A large number of systemic diseases inhalational

        exposures toxins and drugs and even genetic

        disorders are well known to cause scarring in the

        lungs with permanent structural remodeling A list of

        these diseases is presented in Box 5 UIP is the most

        notorious of these diseases and is the diagnosis of

        exclusion for patients over the age of 50 because of

        the dismal prognosis of this idiopathic condition In

        younger patients the systemic connective tissue

        diseases figure prominently as causes of chronic lung

        disease with fibrosis

        Pulmonary fibrosis in the systemic connective tissue

        diseases

        The collagen vascular diseases as a group involve

        the respiratory system frequently Each of these

        diseases may involve the lung and pleura in several

        different ways Although the lung morphologic

        abnormalities are not specific for any one of these

        diseases some features are more commonly mani-

        fested than others in each of them (Table 4) A few of

        the more prominent collagen vascular diseases known

        to produce fibrosis are presented herein

        Rheumatoid arthritis

        The most common thoracic complication of RA is

        pleural disease (effusion or pleuritis) which is seen in

        as much as 50 of patients in autopsy studies

        According to a study by Walker and Wright [33]

        approximately one-third of the patients with pleural

        effusions also have pulmonary manifestations of RA

        in the form of nodules or interstitial disease Nodules

        may be seen in the lung parenchyma and occasionally

        in the walls of airways in persons with RA which

        represents lymphoid hyperplasia with germinal cen-

        ters in most instances (Fig 18) The interstitial

        pneumonia of RA may be cellular with little fibrosis

        (cellular NSIP-like see later discussion) fibrotic with

        honeycomb cystic remodeling (UIP-like see later

        discussion) and occasionally may have a macro-

        phage-rich DIP pattern (discussed in Pattern 4) [19]

        Fig 17 Acute interstitial pneumonia Surgical lung biopsies show diffuse alveolar damage in varying stages In the earliest

        manifestation (A) edema in the alveolar spaces and interstitium is typical with hyaline membranes and preservation of the

        alveolar spaces As the process evolves (2ndash4 days after onset) hyaline membranes become thicker and there is greater cellularity

        in the interstitium as inflammatory cells begin to accrue (B) By the end of the first week (C) alveolar spaces are overwhelmed

        by reparative changes with myofibroblasts that produce an organizing pneumonia pattern Over the next weeks (D) the

        myofibroblasts become incorporated into the interstitium as the best outcome with reconstitution of the alveolar architecture

        Systemic lupus erythematosus

        Similar to RA SLE also commonly involves the

        respiratory system [18] Painful pleuritis with or

        without effusion is the most common abnormality

        [20] Noninfectious organizing pneumonia also has

        been reported and advanced fibrosis with honey-

        comb remodeling occurs (Fig 19) [34]

        Progressive systemic sclerosis

        The most notable feature of lsquolsquoscleroderma lungrsquorsquo

        is the presence of extensive alveolar wall fibrosis

        without much inflammation (Fig 20) [35] Some

        degree of diffuse lung fibrosis occurs in nearly every

        patient with pulmonary involvement [18] Patients

        with longstanding progressive systemic sclerosisndash

        related lung fibrosis are at high risk of developing

        bronchoalveolar carcinoma Vascular sclerosis usu-

        ally without true vasculitis is typical if sufficiently

        severe it produces pulmonary hypertension [36]

        Pleural disease is less common in progressive

        systemic sclerosis than in RA or SLE

        Mixed connective tissue disease

        Mixed connective tissue disease is relatively

        common in producing interstitial pulmonary disease

        or pleural effusions [18] In many cases the

        abnormalities respond well to corticosteroid therapy

        but severe and progressive pulmonary disease with

        fibrosis does occur A pattern of fibrosis that re-

        sembles the pattern seen in UIP (see later discussion)

        occurs and pulmonary hypertension may occur

        accompanied by plexiform lesions similar to those

        seen in persons with primary pulmonary hyperten-

        sion [37]

        DermatomyositisPolymyositis

        Several forms of ILD have been reported in der-

        matomyositispolymyositis and the histologic find-

        ings seen on biopsy seem to be better predictors of

        prognosis than clinical or radiologic features [23] A

        subacute presentation with a noninfectious organizing

        pneumonia pattern has been associated with the best

        prognosis whereas the worst prognosis has been

        associated with advanced lung fibrosis [23]

        Sjogrenrsquos syndrome

        The common pulmonary lesions of Sjogrenrsquos

        syndrome generally evolve over weeks to months

        and are analogous to the disease manifestations in the

        salivary glands The range of disease patterns in

        Sjogrenrsquos syndrome is broad especially when Sjog-

        renrsquos syndrome is accompanied by other connective

        tissue disease A hallmark of pure Sjogrenrsquos syndrome

        in the lung is marked lymphoreticular infiltrates in

        the submucosal glands of the tracheobronchial tree

        (Fig 21) [18] Patients with Sjogrenrsquos syndrome also

        are at risk for LIP and occasionally develop lympho-

        proliferative disorders that involve the pulmonary

        interstitium ranging from relatively low-grade extra-

        nodal marginal zone lymphoma (MALToma) to a

        high-grade lymphoma Advanced lung fibrosis also

        occurs as pleuropulmonary manifestation in Sjogrenrsquos

        syndrome (Fig 22) [3839]

        Certain chronic drug reactions

        Many drugs are reported to produce lung fibrosis

        among them bleomycin carmustine penicillamine ni-

        trofurantoin tocainide mexiletine amiodarone aza-

        thioprine methotrexate melphalan and mitomycin C

        Unfortunately the list of agents is growing rapidly

        and the reader is referred to on-line resources such

        as wwwpneumotoxcom [188] for continuously

        updated information on reported drug reactions Bleo-

        mycin is presented in this article because it causes sub-

        acute and chronic toxicity and has been used widely

        as an experimental model of pulmonary fibrosis

        Bleomycin

        Bleomycin is an antineoplastic agent that becomes

        concentrated in skin lungs and lymphatic fluid

        Pulmonary lesions may be dose-related [4041] and

        prior radiotherapy seems to predispose to toxicity

        [42] The initial site of injury in experimental models

        seems to be the venous endothelial cell [43] but type I

        cell injury allows fibrin and other serum proteins to

        leak into the alveolus Type II cell hyperplasia occurs

        as a regenerative phenomenon that results in atypical

        enlarged forms and intra-alveolar fibroplasia occurs

        (often in a subpleural distribution) eventually result-

        ing in alveolar septal widening (Fig 23)

        chromosome 10 (10q23) [47] This form is referred to

        inflammation alone (Fig 26) group II had interstitial

        inflammation and early interstitial fibrosis occurring

        together (Fig 27) and group III had denser diffuse

        Perhaps the most important finding in the Katzen-

        patients had morbidity and mortality rates signifi-

        cantly different from that of UIP in which reported

        mortality figures were more in the range of 90 with

        median survival in the range of 3 years Only 5 of 48

        patients with clinical follow-up died of progressive

        lung disease (11) whereas 39 patients either

        recovered or were alive with stable lung disease

        For the patients with follow-up no deaths were

        reported in group I patients whereas 3 patients from

        group II and 2 patients from group III died

        encompassed by this term [114]

        UIP is a disease of older individuals typically

        older than 50 years [62] Men are slightly more

        commonly affected than women Characteristic clini-

        cal findings include distinctive end-inspiratory

        crackles (lsquolsquoVelcro cracklesrsquorsquo) at the lung bases and

        the eventual development of lung fibrosis with cor

        pulmonale Clubbing occurs commonly with the

        disease Many patients die of respiratory failure

        The average duration of symptoms in one series was

        ication the lung lobules are accentuated by the presence of

        ules which further adds to the distinctive low magnification

        The disease begins at the periphery of the pulmonary lobule

        b cystic lung remodeling in its wake (B) An entire lobule is

        adjacent to thin and delicate alveolar septa Fibroblast foci

        Fig 30 Cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis The renowned fibroblast focus (A) is not unique to cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis but

        is distinctive and occurs at the interface between dense peripheral fibrosis and more normal lung centrally in the lobule Another

        consistent finding seen even in early examples of cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis is microscopic honeycombing (B) This focus

        was presumably an intact lobule once but was replaced by cysts partially filled with mucus No alveoli remain

        3 years [3] and the mean survival after diagnosis has

        been reported as 42 years in a population-based

        study [63] Different from other chronic inflamma-

        tory lung diseases immunosuppressive therapy im-

        proves neither survival nor quality of life for patients

        with UIP [62]

        HRCT has added a new dimension to the diagnosis

        of UIP The abnormalities are most prominent at the

        periphery of the lungs and in the lung bases

        regardless of the stage [64] Irregular linear opacities

        result in a reticular pattern [64] Advanced lung

        remodeling with cyst formation (honeycombing) is

        seen in approximately 90 of patients at presentation

        [65] Ground-glass opacities can be seen in approxi-

        mately 80 of cases of UIP but are seldom extensive

        The gross examination of the lung often reveals a

        characteristic nodular external surface (Fig 29)

        Histopathologically UIP is best envisioned as a

        smoldering alveolitis of unknown cause accompanied

        by microscopic foci of injury repair and lung

        remodeling with dense fibrosis The disease begins

        at the periphery of the pulmonary lobule and has a

        consistent tendency to leave lung fibrosis and honey-

        comb cystic lung remodeling in its wake as it

        progresses from the periphery to the center of the

        lobule (Fig 30) This transition from dense fibrosis

        with or without honeycombing to near normal lung

        through an intermediate stage of alveolar organization

        and inflammation is the histologic hallmark of so-

        called lsquolsquotemporal heterogeneityrsquorsquo Thick irregular

        bundles of smooth muscle typically are present within

        areas of fibrosis (Fig 31) presumably arising as a

        consequence of progressive parenchymal collapse

        with incorporation of native airway and vascular

        smooth muscle into fibrosis Less well-recognized

        additional features of UIP are distortion and narrow-

        ing of bronchioles together with peribronchiolar

        fibrosis and inflammation This observation likely

        accounts for the functional evidence of small airway

        obstruction that may be found in UIP [66] Wide-

        spread bronchial dilation (traction bronchiectasis)

        may be present at postmortem examination in ad-

        vanced disease and is evident on HRCT late in the

        course of IPF

        Acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

        Episodes of clinical deterioration are expected in

        patients with UIP Although lsquolsquorespiratory failurersquorsquo is

        the cause of death in approximately one half of

        affected individuals for a small subset death is

        sudden after acute respiratory failure This manifes-

        tation of the disease has been termed lsquolsquoacute exa-

        cerbation of IPFrsquorsquo when no infectious cause is

        identified The typical history is that of a patient

        being followed for IPF who suddenly develops acute

        respiratory distress that often is accompanied by

        fever elevation of the sedimentation rate marked

        increase in dyspnea and new infiltrates that often

        have an lsquolsquoalveolarrsquorsquo character radiologically For

        many years this manifestation was believed to be

        infectious pneumonia (possibly viral) superimposed

        on a fibrotic lung with marginal reserve Because

        cases are sufficiently common organisms are rarely

        identified and a small percentage of patients respond

        to pulse systemic corticosteroid therapy many inves-

        tigators consider such exacerbation to be a form of

        fulminant progression of the disease process itself

        Overall acute exacerbation has a poor prognosis and

        death within 1 week is not unusual Pathologically

        acute lung injury that resembles DAD or organizing

        pneumonia is superimposed on a background of

        peripherally accentuated lobular fibrosis with honey-

        combing This latter finding can be highlighted in

        tissue sections using the Masson trichrome stain for

        collagen (Fig 32) That acute exacerbation is a real

        phenomenon in IPF is underscored by the results of a

        recent large randomized trial of human recombinant

        interferon gamma 1b in IPF In this study of patients

        with early clinical disease (FVC 50 of predicted)

        Pattern 3 interstitial lung diseases dominated by

        interstitial mononuclear cells (chronic

        inflammation)

        The most classic manifestation of ILD is em-

        bodied in this pattern in which mononuclear in-

        flammatory cells (eg lymphocytes plasma cells and

        histiocytes) distend the interstitium of the alveolar

        walls The pattern is common and has several

        associated conditions (Box 6)

        Hypersensitivity pneumonitis

        Lung disease can result from inhalation of various

        organic antigens In most of these exposures the

        disease is immunologically mediated presumably

        through a type III hypersensitivity reaction although

        the immunologic mechanisms have not been well

        documented in all conditions [68] The prototypic

        example is so-called lsquolsquofarmerrsquos lungrsquorsquo which is

        caused by hypersensitivity to thermophilic actino-

        mycetes (Micromonospora vulgaris and Thermophyl-

        liae polyspora) that grow in moldy hay

        The radiologic appearance depends on the stage of

        the disease In the acute stage airspace consolidation

        is the dominant feature In the subacute stage there is

        a fine nodular pattern or ground-glass opacification

        The chronic stage is dominated by fibrosis with

        ute lung injury that resembles DAD or organizing pneumonia

        are often associated with lobular areas of air trapping

        The classic histologic features of hypersensitivity

        pneumonia are presented in Table 6 Because biopsy

        is typically performed in the subacute phase the

        picture is usually one of a chronic inflammatory

        interstitial infiltrate with lymphocytes and variable

        numbers of plasma cells Lung structure is preserved

        and alveoli usually can be distinguished A few

        scattered poorly formed granulomas are seen in the

        interstitium (Fig 33) The epithelioid cells in the

        lsquolsquogranulomasrsquorsquo are loosely aggregated and mixed with

        lymphocytes Characteristically scattered giant cells

        of the foreign body type are seen around terminal

        airways and may contain cleft-like spaces or small

        particles that are doubly refractile (Fig 34) Terminal

        airways display chronic inflammation of their walls

        (bronchiolitis) often with destruction distortion and

        even occlusion Pale or lightly eosinophilic vacuo-

        lated macrophages are typically found in alveolar

        spaces and are a common sign of bronchiolar

        obstruction Similar macrophages also are seen within

        alveolar walls

        was not identified in 37 of patients who had

        unequivocal evidence of hypersensitivity pneumo-

        nitis on biopsy [71] even with careful retrospective

        search [72] As the condition becomes more chronic

        there is progressive distortion of the lung architecture

        although intravenous administration has been shown

        typically begin with a cough that occurs within the

        first 3 months after administration and is accompanied

        by fever malaise and progressive breathlessness

        Peripheral eosinophilia occurs in a significant number

        of patients who develop toxicity A chronic interstitial

        infiltrate is observed in lung tissue with lymphocytes

        trates may be present on HRCT scans but basalar and

        peripherally accentuated high attenuation opacities

        and nonspecific infiltrates are described [8182]

        Amiodarone toxicity produces a cellular interstitial

        pneumonia associated with prominent intra-alveolar

        macrophages whose cytoplasm shows fine vacuola-

        tion [7783ndash85] This vacuolation is also present in

        adjacent reactive type 2 pneumocytes Characteristic

        lamellar cytoplasmic inclusions are present ultra-

        structurally [86] Unfortunately these cytoplasmic

        changes are an expected manifestation of the drug so

        their presence is not sufficient to warrant a diagnosis

        of amiodarone toxicity [83] Pleural inflammation

        and pleural effusion have been reported [87] Some

        Idiopathic lymphoid interstitial pneumonia

        LIP is a clinical pathologic entity that fits

        descriptively within the chronic interstitial pneumo-

        nias By consensus LIP has been included in the

        current classification of the idiopathic interstitial

        pneumonias despite decades of controversy about

        what diseases are encompassed by this term In 1969

        Liebow and Carrington [3] briefly presented a group

        of patients and used the term LIP to describe their

        biopsy findings The defining criteria were morphol-

        ogic and included lsquolsquoan exquisitely interstitial infil-

        tratersquorsquo that was described as generally polymorphous

        and consisted of lymphocytes plasma cells and large

        mononuclear cells (Fig 38) Several associated

        clinical conditions have been described including

        connective tissue diseases bone marrow transplanta-

        tion acquired and congenital immunodeficiency

        syndromes and diffuse lymphoid hyperplasia of the

        intestine This disease is considered idiopathic only

        when a cause or association cannot be identified

        The idiopathic form of LIP occurs most com-

        monly between the ages of 50 and 70 but children

        may be affected Women are more commonly

        affected than men Cough dyspnea and progressive

        shortness of breath occur and often are accompanied

        bundles and thin-walled cysts may be seen [90]

        LIP is best thought of as a histopathologic pattern

        rather than a diagnosis because LIP as proposed

        initially has morphologic features that are difficult to

        separate accurately from other lymphoplasmacellular

        interstitial infiltrates including low-grade lymphomas

        of extranodal marginal zone type (maltoma) The LIP

        pattern requires clinical and laboratory correlation for

        accurate assessment similar to organizing pneumo-

        nia NSIP and DIP The histopathologic hallmarks of

        the LIP pattern include diffuse interstitial infiltration

        by lymphocytes plasmacytoid lymphocytes plasma

        cells and histiocytes (Fig 39) Giant cells and small

        granulomas may be present [91] Honeycombing with

        interstitial fibrosis can occur Immunophenotyping

        shows lack of clonality in the lymphoid infiltrate

        When LIP accompanies HIV infection a wide age

        range occurs and it is commonly found in children

        [92ndash95] These HIV-infected patients have the same

        nonspecific respiratory symptoms but weight loss is

        more common Other features of HIV and AIDS

        such as lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly

        are also more common Mean survival is worse than

        that of LIP alone with adults living an average of

        14 months and children an average of 32 months

        is similar

        Pattern 4 interstitial lung diseases dominated by

        airspace filling

        A significant number of ILDs are attended or

        dominated by the presence of material filling the

        alveolar spaces Depending on the composition of

        this airspace filling process a narrow differential

        diagnosis typically emerges The prototype for the

        airspace filling pattern is organizing pneumonia in

        which immature fibroblasts (myofibroblasts) form

        polypoid growths within the terminal airways and

        alveoli Organizing pneumonia is a common and

        nonspecific reaction to lung injury Other material

        also can occur in the airspaces such as neutrophils in

        the case of bacterial pneumonia proteinaceous

        material in alveolar proteinosis and even bone in

        so-called lsquolsquoracemosersquorsquo or dendritic calcification

        Neutrophils

        When neutrophils fill the alveolar spaces the

        disease is usually acute clinically and bacterial

        pneumonia leads the differential diagnosis (Fig 40)

        Rarely immunologically mediated pulmonary hem-

        orrhage can be associated with brisk episodes of

        neutrophilic capillaritis these cells can shed into the

        alveolar spaces and mimic bronchopneumonia

        Organizing pneumonia

        When fibroblasts fill the alveolar spaces the

        appropriate pathologic term is lsquolsquoorganizing pneumo-

        niarsquorsquo although many clinicians believe that this is an

        automatic indictment of infection Unfortunately the

        lung has a limited capacity for repair after any injury

        and organizing pneumonia often is a part of this

        process regardless of the exact mechanism of injury

        The more generic term lsquolsquoairspace organizationrsquorsquo is

        preferable but longstanding habits are hard to

        change Some of the more common causes of the

        organizing pneumonia pattern are presented in Box 7

        One particular form of diffuse lung disease is

        characterized by airspace organization and is idio-

        pathic This clinicopathologic condition was previ-

        ously referred to as lsquolsquoidiopathic bronchiolitis obliterans

        organizing pneumoniarsquorsquo (idiopathic BOOP) The name

        of this disorder recently was changed to COP

        Idiopathic cryptogenic organizing pneumonia

        In 1983 Davison et al [97] described a group of

        patients with COP and 2 years later Epler et al [98]

        described similar cases as idiopathic BOOP The pro-

        cess described in these series is believed to be the

        same [1] as those cases described by Liebow and

        Carrington in 1969 as lsquolsquoidiopathic bronchiolitis oblit-

        sonable consensus has emerged regarding what is

        being called COP [97ndash100] King and Mortensen

        [101] recently compiled the findings from 4 major

        case series reported from North America adding 18

        of their own cases (112 cases in all) Based on

        these compiled data the following description of

        COP emerges

        The evolution of clinical symptoms is subacute

        (4 months on average and 3 months in most) and

        follows a flu-like illness in 40 of cases The average

        age at presentation is 58 years (range 21ndash80 years)

        and there is no sex predominance Dyspnea and

        cough are present in half the patients Fever is

        common and leukocytosis occurs in approximately

        one fourth The erythrocyte sedimentation rate is

        typically elevated [102] Clubbing is rare Restrictive

        lung disease is present in approximately half of the

        patients with COP and the diffusing capacity is

        reduced in most Airflow obstruction is mild and

        typically affects patients who are smokers

        Chest radiographs show patchy bilateral (some-

        times unilateral) nonsegmental airspace consolidation

        [103] which may be migratory and similar to those of

        eosinophilic pneumonia Reticulation may be seen in

        10 to 40 of patients but rarely is predominant

        [103104] The most characteristic HRCT features of

        COP are patchy unilateral or bilateral areas of

        consolidation which have a predominantly peribron-

        chial or subpleural distribution (or both) in approxi-

        mately 60 of cases In 30 to 50 of cases small

        ill-defined nodules (3ndash10 mm in diameter) are seen

        [105ndash108] and a reticular pattern is seen in 10 to

        30 of cases

        The major histopathologic feature of COP is

        alveolar space organization (so-called lsquolsquoMasson

        bodiesrsquorsquo) but it also extends to involve alveolar ducts

        and respiratory bronchioles in which the process has

        a characteristic polypoid and fibromyxoid appearance

        (Fig 41) The parenchymal involvement tends to be

        patchy All of the organization seems to be recent

        Unfortunately the term BOOP has become one of the

        most commonly misused descriptions in lung pathol-

        ogy much to the dismay of clinicians Pathologists

        use the term to describe nonspecific organization that

        occurs in alveolar ducts and alveolar spaces of lung

        biopsies Clinicians hear the term BOOP or BOOP

        pattern and often interpret this as a clinical diagnosis

        of idiopathic BOOP Because of this misuse there is a

        growing consensus [101109] regarding use of the

        term COP to describe the clinicopathologic entity for

        the following reasons (1) Although COP is primarily

        an organizing pneumonia in up to 30 or more of

        cases granulation tissue is not present in membra-

        nous bronchioles and at times may not even be seen

        in respiratory bronchioles [97] (2) The term lsquolsquobron-

        chiolitis obliteransrsquorsquo has been used in so many

        different ways that it has become a highly ambiguous

        term (3) Bronchiolitis generally produces obstruction

        to airflow and COP is primarily characterized by a

        restrictive defect

        The expected prognosis of COP is relatively good

        In 63 of affected patients the condition resolves

        mainly as a response to systemic corticosteroids

        Twelve percent die typically in approximately

        3 months The disease persists in the remaining sub-

        set or relapses if steroids are tapered too quickly

        Patients with COP who fare poorly frequently have

        comorbid disorders such as connective tissue disease

        or thyroiditis or have been taking nitrofurantoin

        [110] A recent study showed that the presence of

        reticular opacities in a patient with COP portended

        a worse prognosis [111]

        Macrophages

        Macrophages are an integral part of the lungrsquos

        defense system These cells are migratory and

        generally do not accumulate in the lung to a

        significant degree in the absence of obstruction of

        the airways or other pathology In smokers dusty

        brown macrophages tend to accumulate around the

        terminal airways and peribronchiolar alveolar spaces

        and in association with interstitial fibrosis The

        cigarette smokingndashrelated airway disease known as

        respiratory bronchiolitisndashassociated ILD is discussed

        later in this article with the smoking-related ILDs

        Beyond smoking some infectious diseases are

        characterized by a prominent alveolar macrophage

        reaction such as the malacoplakia-like reaction to

        Rhodococcus equi infection in the immunocompro-

        mised host or the mucoid pneumonia reaction to

        cryptococcal pneumonia Conditions associated with

        a DIP-like reaction are presented in Box 8

        Eosinophilic pneumonia

        Acute eosinophilic pneumonia was discussed

        earlier with the acute ILDs but the acute and chronic

        forms of eosinophilic pneumonia often are accom-

        panied by a striking macrophage reaction in the

        airspaces Different from the macrophages in a

        patient with smoking-related macrophage accumula-

        tion the macrophages of eosinophilic pneumonia

        tend to have a brightly eosinophilic appearance and

        are plump with dense cytoplasm Multinucleated

        forms may occur and the macrophages may aggre-

        gate in sufficient density to suggest granulomas in the

        alveolar spaces When this occurs a careful search

        for eosinophils in the alveolar spaces and reactive

        type II cell hyperplasia is often helpful in distinguish-

        ing eosinophilic lung disease from other conditions

        characterized by a histiocytic reaction

        Idiopathic desquamative interstitial pneumonia

        In 1965 Liebow et al [112] described 18 cases of

        diffuse lung diseases that differed in many respects

        from UIP The striking histologic feature was the pre-

        sence of numerous cells filling the airspaces Liebow

        et al believed that the cells were chiefly desquamated

        alveolar epithelial lining cells and coined the term

        lsquolsquodesquamative interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo It is currently

        known that these cells are predominately macro-

        phages however [113] DIP and the cigarette smok-

        ingndashrelated disease known as RB-ILD are believed to

        be similar if not identical diseases possibly repre-

        senting different expressions of disease severity [115]

        RB-ILD is discussed later in this article in the section

        on smoking-related diffuse lung disease

        The patients described by Liebow et al [112] were

        on average slightly younger than patients with UIP

        and their symptoms were usually milder Clubbing

        was uncommon but in later series some patients with

        clubbing were identified [4] Most patients have a

        subacute lung disease of weeks to months of evo-

        lution The predominant finding on the radiograph and

        HRCT in patients with DIP consists of ground-glass

        opacities particularly at the bases and at the costo-

        phrenic angles [115] Some patients have mild reticu-

        lar changes superimposed on ground-glass opacities

        In lung biopsy the scanning magnification

        appearance of DIP is striking (Fig 42) The alveolar

        spaces are filled with lightly pigmented (brown)

        macrophages and multinucleated cells are commonly

        Fig 42 DIP The scanning magnification appearance of DIP is strik

        (brown) macrophages and multinucleated cells are commonly pre

        present Additional important features include the

        relative preservation of lung architecture with only

        mild thickening of alveolar walls and absence of

        severe fibrosis or honeycombing [116ndash118] Inter-

        stitial mononuclear inflammation is seen sometimes

        with scattered lymphoid follicles The histologic

        appearance of DIP is not specific It is commonly

        present in other diffuse and localized lung diseases

        including UIP asbestosis [119] and other dust-

        related diseases [120] DIP-like reactions occur after

        nitrofurantoin therapy [121122] and in alveolar

        spaces adjacent to the nodules of PLCH (see later

        section on smoking-related diseases)

        Cases have been reported in which classic DIP

        lsquolsquoprogressed to fibrosing alveolitisrsquorsquo [117123] It

        seems clear that DIP represents a nonspecific reaction

        and more commonly occurs in smokers It is critical

        to distinguish between DIP and UIP especially

        because these diseases are regarded as different from

        one another Research has shown conclusively that

        the clinical features are different the prognosis is

        much better in DIP and DIP may respond to

        corticosteroid administration [124] whereas UIP

        does not [62]

        Proteinaceous material

        When eosinophilic material fills the alveolar

        spaces the differential diagnosis includes pulmonary

        edema and alveolar proteinosis

        Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis

        PAP (alveolar lipoproteinosis) is a rare diffuse

        lung disease characterized by the intra-alveolar

        ing (A) The alveolar spaces are filled with lightly pigmented

        sent (B)

        accumulation of lipid-rich eosinophilic material

        [125] PAP likely occurs as a result of overproduction

        of surfactant by type II cells impaired clearance of

        surfactant by alveolar macrophages or a combination

        of these mechanisms The disease can occur as an

        idiopathic form but also occurs in the settings of

        occupational disease (especially dust-related) drug-

        induced injury hematologic diseases and in many

        settings of immunodeficiency [125ndash128] PAP is

        commonly associated with exposure to inhaled

        crystalline material and silica although other sub-

        stances have been implicated [126] The idiopathic

        form is the most common presentation with a male

        predominance and an age range of 30 to 50 years

        The usual presenting symptom is insidious dyspnea

        sometimes with cough [129] although the clinical

        symptoms are often less dramatic than the radio-

        logic abnormalities

        Chest radiographs show extensive bilateral air-

        space consolidation that involves mainly the perihilar

        regions CT demonstrates what seems to be smooth

        thickening of lobular septa that is not seen on the

        chest radiograph The thickening of lobular septae

        within areas of ground-glass attenuation is character-

        istic of alveolar proteinosis on CT and is referred to as

        lsquolsquocrazy pavingrsquorsquo [130] The areas of ground-glass

        attenuation and consolidation are often sharply

        demarcated from the surrounding normal lung with-

        out an apparent anatomic correlation [130ndash132]

        Histopathologically the scanning magnification

        appearance is distinctive if not diagnostic Pink

        granular material fills the airspaces often with a

        rim of retraction that separates the alveolar wall

        slightly from the exudate (Fig 43) Embedded

        clumps of dense globular granules and cholesterol

        clefts are seen (Fig 44) The periodic-acid Schiff

        the proteinaceous material of PAP Dramatic inflam-

        matory changes should suggest comorbid infection

        The idiopathic form of PAP has an excellent

        prognosis Many patients are only mildly symptom-

        atic In patients with severe dyspnea and hypoxemia

        treatment can be accomplished with one or more

        sessions of whole lung lavage which usually induces

        remission and excellent long-term survival [133]

        Pattern 5 interstitial lung diseases dominated by

        nodules

        Some ILDs are dominated by or significantly

        associated with nodules For most of the diffuse

        ILDs the nodules are small and appreciated best

        under the microscope In some instances nodules

        may be sufficiently large and diffuse in distribution

        that they are identified on HRCT In others cases a

        few large nodules may be present in two or more

        lobes or bilaterally (eg Wegener granulomatosis) For

        neoplasms that diffusely involve the lung the nodular

        pattern is overwhelmingly represented (eg lymphan-

        gitic carcinomatosis) The differential diagnosis of the

        nodular pattern is presented in Box 9

        Nodular granulomas

        pneumonia is discussed under Pattern 3 because the

        Granulomatous infection

        Most nodular granulomatous reactions in the lung

        are of infectious origin until proven otherwise

        especially in the presence of necrosis The infectious

        diseases that characteristically produce well-formed

        granulomas are typically caused by mycobacteria

        fungi and rarely bacteria Sometimes Pneumocystis

        infection produces a nodular pattern A list of the

        diffuse lung diseases associated with granulomas is

        presented in Box 10

        Sarcoidosis

        Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease

        of uncertain origin The disease commonly affects the

        lungs [134135] The origin pathogenesis and

        epidemiology of sarcoidosis suggest that it is a

        disorder of immune regulation [136ndash138] The

        observation that sarcoid granulomas recur after lung

        transplantation [139ndash141] seems to underscore fur-

        ther the notion that this is an acquired systemic

        abnormality of immunity It also emphasizes the fact

        that even profound immunosuppression (such as that

        used in transplantation) may be ineffective in halting

        disease progression for the subset whose condition

        persists and progresses to lung fibrosis

        Sarcoidosis occurs most frequently in young

        adults but has been described in all ages There is a

        decreased incidence of sarcoidosis in cigarette smok-

        ers Many patients with intrathoracic sarcoidosis are

        symptom free Systemic manifestations may be

        identified (in decreasing frequency) in lymph nodes

        eyes liver skin spleen salivary glands bone heart

        and kidneys Breathlessness is the most common

        pulmonary symptom

        The chest radiographic appearance is often char-

        acteristic with a combination of symmetrical bilateral

        hilar and paratracheal lymph node enlargement

        together with a varied pattern of parenchymal

        involvement including linear nodular and ground-

        glass opacities [142] In approximately 25 of the

        patients the radiographic appearance is atypical and

        in approximately 10 it is normal [143] Staging of

        the disease is based on pattern of involvement on

        plain chest radiographs only [135142]

        The histopathologic hallmark of sarcoidosis is the

        presence of well-formed granulomas without necrosis

        (Fig 45) Granulomas are classically distributed

        along lymphatic channels of the bronchovascular

        bundles interlobular septa and pleura (Fig 46) The

        area between granulomas is frequently sclerotic and

        adjacent small granulomas tend to coalesce into larger

        nodules Because of involvement of the broncho-

        vascular bundles and the characteristic histology

        sarcoidosis is one of the few diffuse lung diseases

        that can be diagnosed with a high degree of success

        by transbronchial biopsy (Fig 47) [144] Although

        necrosis is not a feature of the disease sometimes

        multiorgan disease but the lung is most severely

        affected The radiologic findings are similar to

        sarcoidosis except that hilar and mediastinal aden-

        opathy is seen in only 30 to 40 of cases compared

        with 80 to 90 in sarcoidosis [148149] Beryllio-

        Nodular lymphohistiocytic lesions (lymphoid cells

        lymphoid follicles variable histiocytes)

        Follicular bronchiolitis

        When lymphoid germinal centers (secondary

        lymphoid follicles) are present in the lung biopsy

        (Fig 49) the differential diagnosis always includes a

        lung manifestation of RA Sjogrenrsquos syndrome or

        other systemic connective tissue disease immuno-

        globulin deficiency diffuse lymphoid hyperplasia

        and malignant lymphoma When in doubt immuno-

        histochemical studies and molecular techniques may

        be useful in excluding a neoplastic process

        Diffuse panbronchiolitis

        Diffuse panbronchiolitis can produce a dramatic

        diffuse nodular pattern in lung biopsies This

        condition is a distinctive form of chronic bronchi-

        olitis seen almost exclusively in people of East

        Asian descent (ie Japan Korea China) Diffuse

        panbronchiolitis may occur rarely in individuals in

        the United States [151ndash153] and in patients of non-

        Asian descent

        ters (secondary lymphoid follicles) are present around a

        severely compromised bronchiole in this case of follicu-

        lar bronchiolitis

        Severe chronic inflammation is centered on

        respiratory bronchioles early in the disease followed

        by involvement of distal membranous bronchioles

        and peribronchiolar alveolar spaces as the disease

        progresses A characteristic low magnification ap-

        pearance is that of nodular bronchiolocentric lesions

        (Fig 50) The characteristic and nearly diagnostic

        feature of diffuse panbronchiolitis is the accumulation

        of many pale vacuolated macrophages in the walls

        and lumens of respiratory bronchioles and in adjacent

        airspaces (Fig 51) Japanese investigators suspect

        that the condition occurs in the United States and has

        been underrecognized This view was substantiated

        Fig 51 Diffuse panbronchiolitis The accumulation of many

        pale vacuolated macrophages in the walls and lumens of

        respiratory bronchioles and in adjacent airspaces is typical of

        diffuse panbronchiolitis This appearance is best appreciated

        at the upper edge of the lesion

        with cellular chronic bronchiolitis [151] On review 7

        of these patients were reclassified as having diffuse

        panbronchiolitis (86)

        Nodules of neoplastic cells

        Isolated nodules of neoplastic cells occur com-

        monly as primary and metastatic cancer in the lung

        When nodules of neoplastic cells are seen in the

        radiologic context of ILD lymphangitic carcinoma-

        tosis leads the differential diagnosis LAM also can

        produce diffuse ILD typically with small nodules

        and cysts LAM is discussed later in this article under

        Pattern 6 PLCH also can produce small nodules and

        cysts diffusely in the lung (typically in the upper lung

        zones) and this entity is discussed with the smoking-

        related interstitial diseases

        Lymphangitic carcinomatosis

        Pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis (lym-

        phangitis carcinomatosa) is a form of metastatic

        carcinoma that involves the lung primarily within

        lymphatics The disease produces a miliary nodular

        pattern at scanning magnification Lymphangitic

        carcinoma is typically adenocarcinoma The most

        common sites of origin are breast lung and stomach

        although primary disease in pancreas ovary kidney

        and uterine cervix also can give rise to this

        manifestation of metastatic spread Patients often

        present with insidious onset of dyspnea that is

        frequently accompanied by an irritating cough The

        radiographic abnormalities include linear opacities

        Kerley B lines subpleural edema and hilar and

        mediastinal lymph node enlargement [154] The

        HRCT findings are highly characteristic and accu-

        rately reflect the microscopic distribution in this

        disease with uneven thickening of the bronchovas-

        cular bundles and lobular septa which gives them a

        beaded appearance [155156]

        Histopathologically malignant tumor cells are

        typically present in small aggregates within lym-

        phatic channels of the bronchovascular sheath and

        pleura (Fig 52) Variable amounts of tumor may be

        present throughout the lung in the interstitium of the

        alveolar walls in the airspaces and in small muscular

        pulmonary arteries This latter finding (microangio-

        pathic obliterative endarteritis) may be the origin of

        the edema inflammation and interstitial fibrosis that

        frequently accompany the disease and likely accounts

        for the clinical and radiologic impression of nonneo-

        plastic diffuse lung disease [154157]

        Pattern 6 interstitial lung disease with subtle

        findings in surgical biopsies (chronic evolution)

        A limited differential diagnosis is invoked by the

        relative absence of abnormalities in a surgical lung

        biopsy (Box 11) Three main categories of disease

        emerge in this setting (1) diseases of the small

        rheumatoid bronchiolitis complex bronchiolar metaplasia

        involves a membranous bronchiole accompanied by fol-

        licular bronchiolitis Small rheumatoid nodules (similar to

        those that occur around the joints) also can be seen

        occasionally in the walls of airways which results in partial

        or total occlusion

        KO Leslie Clin Chest Med 25 (2004) 657ndash703 691

        airways (eg constrictive bronchiolitis) (2) vasculo-

        pathic conditions (eg pulmonary hypertension) and

        (3) two diseases that may be dominated by cysts the

        rare disease known as LAM and PLCH in the in-

        active or healed phase of the disease All of these may

        be dramatic in biopsy specimens but when con-

        fronted with the lsquolsquonearly normalrsquorsquo lung biopsy in a pa-

        tient with significant clinical disease these three

        groups of diseases dominate the differential diagnosis

        Small airways disease and constrictive bronchiolitis

        Obliteration of the small membranous bronchioles

        can occur as a result of infection toxic inhalational

        exposure drugs systemic connective tissue diseases

        and as an idiopathic form Outside of the setting of

        lung transplantation in which so-called lsquolsquobronchio-

        litis obliteransrsquorsquo (having histopathology similar to

        constrictive bronchiolitis) occurs as a chronic mani-

        festation of organ rejection the diagnosis presents a

        challenge for pulmonologists and pathologists alike

        In this section we present a few recognized forms of

        nonndashtransplant-associated constrictive bronchiolitis

        Irritants and infections

        Many irritant gases can produce severe bronchi-

        olitis This inflammatory injury may be followed by

        the accumulation of loose granulation tissue and

        finally by complete stenosis and occlusion of the

        airways The best known of these agents are nitrogen

        dioxide [158] sulfur dioxide [159] and ammonia

        [160] Viral infection also can cause permanent

        bronchiolar injury particularly adenovirus infection

        [161] Mycoplasma pneumonia is also cited as a

        potential cause [162] The course of events is similar

        to that for the toxic gases Variable degrees of

        bronchiectasis or bronchioloectasis may occur sec-

        ondarily up- and downstream from the area of

        occlusion Lung biopsy is performed rarely and then

        usually because the patient is young and unusual

        airflow obstruction is present Occasionally mixed

        obstruction and restriction may occur presumably on

        the basis of diffuse peribronchiolar scarring This

        airway-associated scarring may produce CT findings

        of lsquolsquointerstitialrsquorsquo disease The airway lesions are subtle

        but can be recognized by variable reduction in

        bronchiolar luminal diameter compared with the

        adjacent pulmonary artery branch (Normally these

        should be roughly equal in diameter when viewed

        as cross-sections) The diagnosis depends on careful

        clinical correlation and sometimes the addition of a

        comparison between inspiratory and expiratory

        HRCT scans which typically shows prominent

        mosaic air trapping

        Rheumatoid bronchiolitis

        Patients with RA may develop constrictive bron-

        chiolitis as a consequence of their disease In some

        patients small rheumatoid nodules can be seen in the

        walls of airways which results in their partial or total

        occlusion (Fig 53) From a practical point of view

        the lesions are focal within the airways often in small

        bronchi and may not be visualized easily in the

        biopsy specimen Because of the widespread recog-

        nition of rheumatoid bronchiolitis biopsy is rarely

        performed in these patients Morphologically scat-

        tered occlusion of small bronchi and bronchioles is

        observed and is associated with the presence of loose

        connective tissue in their lumens

        Neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia with occlusive

        bronchiolar fibrosis

        In 1992 Aguayo et al [163] reported six patients

        with moderate chronic airflow obstruction all of

        whom never smoked Diffuse neuroendocrine cell

        hyperplasia of the bronchioles associated with partial

        or total occlusion of airway lumens by fibrous tissue

        was present in all six patients (Fig 54) Three of the

        patients also had peripheral carcinoid tumors and

        three had progressive dyspnea

        In a study of 25 peripheral carcinoid tumors that

        occurred in smokers and nonsmokers Miller and

        Muller [164] identified 19 patients (76) with

        neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of the airways which

        occurred mostly in bronchioles Eight patients (32)

        Fig 54 Neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia with occlusive bronchiolar fibrosis (A) Diffuse neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of the

        bronchioles associated with partial or total occlusion of airway lumens by fibrous tissue is a rare cause of unexplained airflow

        Fig 55 Cryptogenic constrictive bronchiolitis is commonly

        recognized as an expression of chronic organ rejection in the

        setting of lung transplantation (bronchiolitis obliterans

        syndrome) It also occurs on the basis of many other injuries

        and exists as an idiopathic form In this photograph taken

        from a biopsy in a lung transplant patient the bronchiole can

        be seen at center right but the lumen is filled with loose

        fibroblasts (note the adjacent pulmonary artery upper left)

        were found to have occlusive bronchiolar fibrosis

        Four of the 8 had mild chronic airflow obstruction

        and 2 of these 4 patients were nonsmokers

        An increase in neuroendocrine cells was present in

        more than 20 of bronchioles examined in lung

        adjacent to the tumor and in tissue blocks taken well

        away from tumor Less than half of these airways

        were partially or totally occluded The mildest lesion

        consisted of linear zones of neuroendocrine cell

        hyperplasia with focal subepithelial fibrosis The

        most severely involved bronchioles showed total

        luminal occlusion by fibrous tissue with few visible

        neuroendocrine cells

        In both of these studies most of the patients with

        airway neuroendocrine hyperplasia were women Pre-

        sumably fibrosis in this setting of neuroendocrine

        hyperplasia is related to one or more peptides se-

        creted by neuroendocrine cells possibly these cells are

        more effective in stimulating airway fibrosis inwomen

        Cryptogenic constrictive bronchiolitis

        Unexplained chronic airflow obstruction that

        occurs in nonsmokers may be a result of selective

        (and likely multifocal) obliteration of the membra-

        nous bronchioles (constrictive bronchiolitis) In a

        study of 2094 patients with a forced expiratory

        volume in the first second (FEV1) of less than

        60 of predicted [165] 10 patients (9 women) were

        identified They ranged in age from 27 to 60 years

        Five were found to have RA and presumably

        rheumatoid bronchiolitis The other 5 had airflow

        obstruction of unknown cause believed to be caused

        by lsquolsquobronchiolitisrsquorsquo Other studies also identified a

        cryptogenic form of bronchiolar disease that produces

        airflow obstruction [166167] When biopsies have

        been performed constrictive bronchiolitis seems to

        be the common pathologic manifestation (Fig 55)

        It is fair to conclude that a rare but fairly distinct

        clinical syndrome exists that consists of mild airflow

        obstruction and usually affects middle-aged women

        who manifest nonspecific respiratory symptoms

        such as cough and dyspnea It is possible that these

        cryptogenic cases of constrictive bronchiolitis are

        manifestations of undeclared systemic connective

        tissue disease the sequelae of prior undetected

        community-acquired infections (eg viral myco-

        plasmal chlamydial) or exposure to toxin

        Interstitial lung disease dominated by

        airway-associated scarring

        A form of small airway-associated ILD has been

        described in recent years under the names lsquolsquoidiopathic

        bronchiolocentric interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo [168] and

        lsquolsquoairway-centered interstitial fibrosisrsquorsquo [169] Affected

        patients have more of a restrictive than obstructive

        functional deficit and the process is characterized

        histopathologically by the presence of significant

        small airwayndashassociated scarring similar to that seen

        in forms of chronic hypersensitivity pneumonia

        certain chronic inhalational injuries (including sub-

        clinical chronic aspiration pneumonia) and even

        some examples of late-stage inactive PLCH (which

        typically lacks characteristic Langerhansrsquo cells) This

        morphologic group may pose diagnostic challenges

        because of the absence of interstitial inflammatory

        changes despite the radiologic and functional impres-

        sion of ILD

        Vasculopathic disease

        Diseases that involve the small arteries and veins

        of the lung can be subtle when viewed from low

        magnification under the microscope (Fig 56) This is

        not to imply that the entities of pulmonary hyper-

        tension capillary hemangiomatosis and veno-occlu-

        sive disease are always subtle (Fig 57) A complete

        discussion of these disease conditions is beyond the

        scope of this article however when the lung biopsy

        has little pathology evident at scanning magnifica-

        tion a careful evaluation of the pulmonary arteries

        and veins is always in order

        an abnormal proliferation of smooth muscle cells in

        amounts of bundled spindled and slightly disorganized

        the pulmonary interstitium and associated with the

        formation of cysts [170ndash173] The disease is

        centered on lymphatic channels blood vessels and

        airways LAM is a disease of women typically in

        their childbearing years The disease does occur in

        older women and rarely in men [174] There is a

        strong association between the inherited genetic

        disorder known as tuberous sclerosis complex and

        the occurrence of LAM Most patients with LAM do

        not have tuberous sclerosis complex but approxi-

        mately one fourth of patients with tuberous sclerosis

        complex have LAM as diagnosed by chest HRCT

        [175] The most common presenting symptoms are

        spontaneous pneumothorax and exertional dyspnea

        Others symptoms include chyloptosis hemoptysis

        and chest pain The characteristic findings on CT are

        numerous cysts separated by normal-appearing lung

        parenchyma The cysts range from 2 to 10 mm in

        diameter and are seen much better with HRCT

        [171176]

        The appearance of the abnormal smooth muscle in

        LAM is sufficiently characteristic so that once

        recognized it is rarely forgotten Cystic spaces are

        present at low magnification (Fig 58) The walls of

        these spaces have variable amounts of bundled

        spindled cells (Fig 59) The nuclei of these spindled

        cells (Fig 60) are larger than those of normal smooth

        muscle bundles seen around alveolar ducts or in the

        walls of airways or vessels Immunohistochemical

        staining is positive in these cells using antibodies

        directed against the melanoma markers HMB45 and

        Mart-1 (Fig 61) These findings may be useful in the

        evaluation of transbronchial biopsy in which only a

        magnification

        few spindled cells may be present Actin desmin

        estrogen receptors and progesterone receptors also

        can be demonstrated in the spindled cells of LAM

        [177] Other lung parenchymal abnormalities may be

        present including peculiar nodules of hyperplastic

        pneumocytes (Fig 62) that lack immunoreactivity

        for HMB45 or Mart-1 but show immunoreactivity for

        cytokeratins and surfactant apoproteins [178] These

        epithelial lesions have been referred to as lsquolsquomicro-

        the terminal airways and is characterized by delicate

        fibrous bands that radiate from the peribronchiolar

        connective tissue into the surrounding lung (Fig 64)

        Dusty appearing tan-brown pigmented alveolar

        macrophages are present in the adjacent airspaces

        and a mild amount of interstitial chronic inflamma-

        tion is present Bronchiolar metaplasia (extension of

        terminal airway epithelium to alveolar ducts) is

        usually present to some degree In the bronchioles

        submucosal fibrosis may be present but constrictive

        changes are not a characteristic finding When

        respiratory bronchiolitis becomes extensive and

        patients have signs and symptoms of ILD use of

        the term RB-ILD has been suggested [180181] The

        exact relationship between RB-ILD and DIP is

        unclear and in smokers these two conditions are

        probably part of a continuous spectrum of disease

        Symptoms of RB-ILD include dyspnea excess

        sputum production and cough [182] Rarely patients

        may be asymptomatic Men are slightly more

        Fig 63 Smoking-related ILD RB-ILD DIP and PLCH

        can be viewed as interrelated components in the setting of

        cigarette smoking

        Fig 64 Respiratory bronchiolitis affects the terminal

        airways of smokers and is characterized by delicate fibrous

        bands that radiate from the peribronchiolar connective tissue

        into the surrounding lung Scant peribronchiolar chronic

        inflammation is typically present and brown pigmented

        smokers macrophages are seen in terminal airways and

        peribronchiolar alveoli

        Fig 65 In RB-ILD denser aggregates of lightly pigmented

        macrophages are present in the airspaces around the

        terminal airways with variable bronchiolar metaplasia

        and more interstitial fibrosis than seen in simple respira-

        tory bronchiolitis

        nature of the disease is important in differentiating RB-

        commonly affected than women and the mean age of

        onset is approximately 36 years (range 22ndash53 years)

        The average pack year smoking history is 32 (range

        7ndash75)

        Most patients with respiratory bronchiolitis alone

        have normal radiologic studies The most common

        findings in RB-ILD include thickening of the

        bronchial walls ground-glass opacities and poorly

        defined centrilobular nodular opacities [183] Be-

        cause most patients with RB-ILD are heavy smokers

        centrilobular emphysema is common

        On histopathologic examination lightly pig-

        mented macrophages are present in the airspaces

        around the terminal airways with variable bronchiolar

        metaplasia (Fig 65) Iron stains may reveal delicate

        positive staining within these cells The relatively

        patchy nature of the disease is important in differ-

        entiating RB-ILD from DIP (Fig 66) A spectrum of

        pathologic severity emerges with isolated lesions of

        respiratory bronchiolitis on one end and diffuse

        macrophage accumulation in DIP on the other RB-

        ILD exists somewhere in between The diagnosis of

        RB-ILD should be reserved for situations in which

        respiratory bronchiolitis is prominent with associated

        clinical and pathologic ILD [184] No other cause for

        ILD should be apparent The prognosis is excellent

        and there does not seem to be evidence for pro-

        gression to end-stage fibrosis in the absence of other

        lung disease

        Pulmonary Langerhansrsquo cell histiocytosis

        PLCH (formerly known as pulmonary eosino-

        philic granuloma or pulmonary histiocytosis X) is

        currently recognized as a lung disease strongly

        associated with cigarette smoking Proliferation of

        Langerhansrsquo cells is associated with the formation of

        stellate airway-centered lung scars and cystic change

        in affected individuals The incidence of the disease is

        unknown but it is generally considered to be a rare

        complication of cigarette smoking [185]

        Fig 67 PLCH The classic lsquolsquoMedusa-headrsquorsquo lesion of PLCH

        is illustrated in this figure Tractional emphysema with cyst

        formation is typical at the perimeter of the lesions Fig 69 PLCH The Langerhansrsquo cell has a slightly pale

        basophilic nucleus with characteristic sharp nuclear folds

        PLCH affects smokers between the ages of 20 and

        40 The most common presenting symptom is cough

        with dyspnea but some patients may be asymptom-

        atic despite chest radiographic abnormalities Chest

        pain fever weight loss and hemoptysis have been

        reported to occur HRCT scan shows nearly patho-

        gnomonic changes including predominately upper

        and middle lung zone nodules and cysts [185186]

        The classic lesion of PLCH is illustrated in

        Fig 67 Characteristically the nodules have a stellate

        shape and are always centered on the bronchioles

        Fig 68 PLCH Immunohistochemistry using antibodies

        directed against S100 protein and CD1a is helpful in

        highlighting numerous positively stained Langerhansrsquo cells

        within the cellular lesions (immunohistochemical stain using

        antibodies directed against S100 protein) (immuno-alkaline

        phosphatase method brown chromogen)

        Pigmented alveolar macrophages and variable num-

        bers of eosinophils surround and permeate the

        lesions Immunohistochemistry using antibodies

        ous positive Langerhansrsquo cells at the periphery of the

        cellular lesions (Fig 68) The Langerhansrsquo cell has a

        slightly pale basophilic nucleus with characteristic

        sharp nuclear folds that resemble crumpled tissue

        paper (Fig 69) One or two small nucleoli are usually

        present Late lesions (so-called lsquolsquoinactiversquorsquo or

        resolved PLCH) consist only of fibrotic centrilobular

        scars [187] with a stellate configuration (Fig 70)

        Microcysts and honeycombing may be present

        Immunohistochemistry for S-100 protein and CD1a

        may be used to confirm the diagnosis but this is

        usually unnecessary and even may be confounding in

        late lesions in which Langerhansrsquo cells may be

        sparse and the stellate scar is the diagnostic lesion

        Up to 20 of transbronchial biopsies in patients

        with Langerhansrsquo cell histiocytosis may have diag-

        nostic changes The presence of more than 5

        Langerhansrsquo cells in bronchoalveolar lavage is

        considered diagnostic of Langerhansrsquo cell histiocy-

        tosis in the appropriate clinical setting Unfortunately

        cigarette smokers without Langerhansrsquo cell histiocy-

        tosis also may have increased numbers of Langer-

        hansrsquo cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage

          lung injury related to drug toxicity or connective

          tissue disease In the immunocompromised patient

          infection dominates this picture

          Infections

          A complete discussion of pulmonary infections

          that produce acute lung injury is beyond the scope of

          this article Bacteria fungi and viruses can produce

          acute lung injury and are the diagnosis of exclusion in

          this setting Viruses are the most common of these

          infections to cause diffuse acute lung injury The

          more common viruses that cause pneumonia and their

          susceptible hosts are presented in Table 3

          Drugs and radiation reactions

          Medications taken orally or by injection may

          produce various lesions within the lung including

          DAD pulmonary edema asthma eosinophilic pneu-

          monia and even advanced fibrosis [56] For many

          drugs acute and chronic forms of toxicity have been

          reported This discussion emphasizes a few reactions

          that classically manifest as acute lung disease and

          highlight those that may produce chronic disease

          Nitrofurantoin

          Nitrofurantoin is an antimicrobial agent used in

          the treatment of urinary tract infections This agent is

          responsible for more cases of pulmonary toxicity than

          any other drug with acute and chronic reactions

          reported [78] Acute reactions are accompanied by

          fever dyspnea and peripheral eosinophilia which

          typically appear within 2 weeks of initiating therapy

          The histopathologic findings are similar to those of

          acute eosinophilic pneumonia Chronic reactions

          occur in a few patients taking the drug and clinical

          manifestations appear after 1 to 6 months of treat-

          ment The chronic cases are more often subjected to

          biopsy and show interstitial inflammation and fibrosis

          accompanied by vascular sclerosis

          Cytotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs

          The most common group of drugs that produces

          acute lung injury includes the antineoplastic agents

          From a clinical standpoint some drugs (eg 5-fluoro-

          uracil vinblastine cytarabine adriamycin thiotepa

          azathioprine) almost never produce pulmonary dis-

          ease With increasing numbers of newer antineo-

          plastic agents being used pulmonary toxicity

          undoubtedly will increase Excellent on-line re-

          sources that provide comprehensive and up-to-date

          lists of these agents are available [9]

          Analgesics

          Heroin [10] methadone propoxyphene and even

          aspirin can produce acute lung reactions [1112]

          Toxicity typically results from overdose and is

          characterized by pulmonary edema sometimes com-

          plicated by aspiration of gastric contents When pill

          binding agents such as talc or microcrystalline

          cellulose are injected with a drug intravenously a

          foreign body giant cell reaction may be seen in lung

          tissue in a characteristic perivascular distribution

          Radiation pneumonitis

          Radiation therapy was a common cause of acute

          lung injury before improved technology and modi-

          fications in dosing were instituted [13] Radiation

          injury can be exacerbated by infection [14] and

          chemotherapeutic drugs [15] Initial clinical signs and

          symptoms often are absent or mild In the acute

          phase chest radiographs and high-resolution CT

          (HRCT) reveal ground-glass opacities or airspace

          consolidation with some loss of lung volume

          Acute eosinophilic lung disease

          Acute lung injury that occurs in the presence of

          significant numbers of tissue eosinophils is referred

          to as lsquolsquoacute eosinophilic lung diseasersquorsquo Peripheral

          blood and bronchoalveolar lavage eosinophils are

          commonly elevated in these conditions Eosinophilia

          may not be persistent throughout the disease and

          eosinophilic vasculitis is not a prerequisite for the

          diagnosis in lung tissue Several forms have been

          described over the years the mildest of which has

          been referred to as Loeffler syndrome or simple

          eosinophilic pneumonia Ascaris infestation was

          documented eventually in the initial series by

          Loeffler which led to the hypothesis that simple

          eosinophilic pneumonia was a manifestation of

          hypersensitivity to Ascaris antigens

          The second form occurs commonly in patients

          with asthma presumably as an allergic manifestation

          to an unknown antigen The clinical course is more

          chronic and typically evolves slowly over many

          months Patients with the lsquolsquochronicrsquorsquo form of eosino-

          philic pneumonia may have a typical clinical syn-

          drome and radiographic appearance [16]

          Finally a dramatic new manifestation of idio-

          pathic eosinophilic lung disease has been described

          that is characterized by rapid onset of breathlessness

          in an otherwise healthy young adult without asthma

          [17] This form may mimic DAD clinically and patho-

          logically even with the presence of hyaline mem-

          branes The importance of recognizing this entity lies

          in its excellent prognosis and characteristic rapid

          response to corticosteroid therapy

          Some other well-recognized associations have

          been described with eosinophilic pneumonia The

          best example is that produced by sensitivity to nitro-

          furantoin and other drugs Eosinophilic pneumonia in

          the presence of asthma may be a manifestation of

          hypersensitivity to aspergillus and other fungal organ-

          isms (eg allergic bronchopulmonary fungal disease)

          The histopathologic features of eosinophilic pneu-

          monia include intra-alveolar eosinophils fibrin and

          plump eosinophilic macrophages surrounded by

          striking reactive type II cell hyperplasia (Fig 9)

          Acute fibrinous pleuritis may occur Eosinophilic

          microabscesses and eosinophilic vasculitis may be

          present but are not necessary for the diagnosis

          Acute pulmonary manifestations of the collagen

          vascular diseases

          The most common acute manifestation of the

          collagen vascular diseases is DAD but diffuse

          pulmonary hemorrhage also occurs The more com-

          mon collagen vascular diseases that produce acute

          manifestations are presented herein

          Rheumatoid arthritis

          Nearly one-half of all patients with rheumatoid

          arthritis (RA) develop one or more forms of

          rheumatoid lung disease [18] and patients with more

          severe joint involvement are more likely to develop

          pleuropulmonary manifestations Lung disease typi-

          cally follows the development of joint disease but

          occasionally the lung or pleura may herald the

          disease DAD is a well-recognized complication of

          RA [19]

          Systemic lupus erythematosus

          Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) also com-

          monly involves the lungs and pleura [18] Painful

          pleuritis with or without effusion is the most common

          abnormality [20] but acute lupus pneumonitis is a

          potentially disastrous complication with a mortality

          rate of 50 [21] Acute lupus pneumonitis is

          characterized morphologically by DAD Diffuse

          pulmonary hemorrhage also may occur usually

          accompanied by vasculitis and capillaritis (Fig 11)

          Immune complexes may be identified on capillary

          basement membranes in this setting [22]

          Dermatomyositis-polymyositis

          DAD is not common in dermatomyositis-poly-

          myositis but the clinical presentation may be

          particularly dramatic Tazelaar et al [23] presented

          14 patients with dermatomyositis-polymyositis who

          developed lung disease Three patients developed

          DAD all of whom died most frequently in the acute

          episode The authors also reviewed 27 additional

          cases of dermatomyositis-polymyositis lung disease

          reported in the literature and found similar results

          DAD may be the first clinical manifestation of

          dermatomyositis-polymyositis and may precede the

          clinical and serologic diagnosis of the disease by

          many months

          Acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia

          A new entity with some similarities to DAD

          recently has been described and it is termed lsquolsquoacute

          fibrinous and organizing pneumoniarsquorsquo [24] Acute

          fibrinous and organizing pneumonia can be patchy

          and typically lacks hyaline membranes but is rich in

          dence of infection Like DAD acute fibrinous and

          organizing pneumonia can be idiopathic or associated

          with several underlying or associated conditions

          such as collagen vascular disease drug reaction

          and occupational exposures Survival is similar to

          DAD in general but the requirement for mechanical

          ventilation was associated with a worse prognosis

          Acute diffuse alveolar hemorrhage

          Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is character-

          ized by a triad of (1) hemoptysis (2) anemia and

          (3) bilateral ground-glass opacities (or consolidation)

          that rapidly wax and wane Hemorrhage and hemo-

          siderin-laden macrophages in alveolar spaces are

          essential to the pathologic diagnosis [25ndash27] In

          practice artifactual hemorrhage can occur commonly

          in lung biopsy specimens Hemosiderin-laden macro-

          phages (with coarsely granular golden-brown refrac-

          tile pigment) always should be present in the alveolar

          spaces before one invokes the diagnosis of DAH

          (Fig 13) The differential diagnosis of DAH is pre-

          sented in Box 4

          Antiglomerular basement membrane disease

          (Goodpasturersquos syndrome)

          When diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage occurs with

          renal disease in the presence of circulating antibodies

          against glomerular basement membranes the con-

          dition is referred to as antiglomerular basement

          membrane disease [28ndash31] Lung biopsy is less

          desirable than kidney as a diagnostic specimen in

          Fig 13 DAH Fresh blood in the lung is not sufficient

          evidence for a diagnosis of DAH Hemosiderin-laden

          macrophages with coarsely granular golden-brown refractile

          pigment always should be present

          antiglomerular basement membrane disease but

          because renal disease is commonly occult at the time

          of presentation the lung is often the first tissue

          sample examined by the pathologist Unfortunately

          the lung findings are relatively nonspecific and

          consist of fresh alveolar hemorrhage hemosiderin

          deposition in macrophages (siderophages) and vari-

          able interstitial inflammation with delicate interstitial

          fibrosis (Fig 14) The presence of capillaritis in the

          alveolar wall is also helpful in distinguishing anti-

          glomerular basement membrane disease from idio-

          pathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) and chronic

          passive lung congestion The results of immunofluo-

          rescent studies on lung tissue are not as reliable as

          they are on kidney tissue [30] and for cost-effective

          practice we generally recommend serologic confir-

          mation (radioimmunoassay or ELISA) even when

          appropriately preserved lung tissue is available

          Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage associated with the

          systemic collagen vascular diseases

          DAH may occur as a consequence of several

          immune-mediated vasculitides including those that

          Potential causes of DAH in this setting include

          microscopic polyangiitis SLE Wegenerrsquos granulo-

          matosis cryoglobulinemia RA crescentic glomeru-

          lonephritis and scleroderma [25272930] The

          common histopathologic feature is acute capillaritis

          with or without larger vessel vasculitis (Fig 15)

          Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis

          In the absence of renal disease or demonstrable

          immunologic disease DAH has been termed IPH

          Fig 15 DAH in the collagen vascular diseases The common histo

          disease is acute capillaritis (A) with or without larger vessel vascu

          IPH occurs most commonly in children younger

          than 10 years and young adults in the second and

          third decades of life Anemia is accompanied by

          bilateral areas of consolidation on the chest radio-

          age group but men predominate in the older age

          antiglomerular basement membrane disease namely

          alveolar hemorrhage and hemosiderin-laden macro-

          phages but in IPH there is less interstitial inflam-

          Idiopathic diffuse alveolar damage acute interstitial

          pneumonia

          The term lsquolsquoacute interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo was first

          introduced in 1986 to describe a syndrome of rapidly

          evolving acute respiratory failure that occurred in

          immunocompetent individuals [32] The patients

          described included three men and five women (two

          of whom were pregnant) who developed sudden

          unexplained respiratory failure Six reported a viral-

          like prodrome None of the patients was reported to

          have underlying collagen vascular disease By

          definition acute interstitial pneumonia is of unknown

          cause and is a diagnosis of exclusion The usual

          causes of ARDS must be absent (ie shock sepsis

          trauma aspiration or drug toxicity)

          Surgical lung biopsies show DAD in varying

          stages (Fig 17) The changes observed in biopsy

          specimens depend on the stage at which the biopsy is

          taken and tend to be relatively diffuse throughout the

          specimen Like other forms of DAD the early stages

          show an exudative phase with edema and hyaline

          membranes Bronchioles may show squamous meta-

          plasia that extend peripherally to involve adjacent

          alveolar walls Organizing arterial thrombi were seen

          in five of the seven patients who died in the Kat-

          zenstein series [32] In the last stages fibrosis distorts

          the lung architecture

          Collagen vascular disease or allergic disorders

          may be responsible for many cases of acute inter-

          stitial pneumonia although they may not be clinically

          apparent at the time of presentation acute interstitial

          pneumonia has been formally added to the classi-

          fication of the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias by a

          recent international consensus committee [4]

          Pattern 2 interstitial lung disease dominated by

          A large number of systemic diseases inhalational

          exposures toxins and drugs and even genetic

          disorders are well known to cause scarring in the

          lungs with permanent structural remodeling A list of

          these diseases is presented in Box 5 UIP is the most

          notorious of these diseases and is the diagnosis of

          exclusion for patients over the age of 50 because of

          the dismal prognosis of this idiopathic condition In

          younger patients the systemic connective tissue

          diseases figure prominently as causes of chronic lung

          disease with fibrosis

          Pulmonary fibrosis in the systemic connective tissue

          diseases

          The collagen vascular diseases as a group involve

          the respiratory system frequently Each of these

          diseases may involve the lung and pleura in several

          different ways Although the lung morphologic

          abnormalities are not specific for any one of these

          diseases some features are more commonly mani-

          fested than others in each of them (Table 4) A few of

          the more prominent collagen vascular diseases known

          to produce fibrosis are presented herein

          Rheumatoid arthritis

          The most common thoracic complication of RA is

          pleural disease (effusion or pleuritis) which is seen in

          as much as 50 of patients in autopsy studies

          According to a study by Walker and Wright [33]

          approximately one-third of the patients with pleural

          effusions also have pulmonary manifestations of RA

          in the form of nodules or interstitial disease Nodules

          may be seen in the lung parenchyma and occasionally

          in the walls of airways in persons with RA which

          represents lymphoid hyperplasia with germinal cen-

          ters in most instances (Fig 18) The interstitial

          pneumonia of RA may be cellular with little fibrosis

          (cellular NSIP-like see later discussion) fibrotic with

          honeycomb cystic remodeling (UIP-like see later

          discussion) and occasionally may have a macro-

          phage-rich DIP pattern (discussed in Pattern 4) [19]

          Fig 17 Acute interstitial pneumonia Surgical lung biopsies show diffuse alveolar damage in varying stages In the earliest

          manifestation (A) edema in the alveolar spaces and interstitium is typical with hyaline membranes and preservation of the

          alveolar spaces As the process evolves (2ndash4 days after onset) hyaline membranes become thicker and there is greater cellularity

          in the interstitium as inflammatory cells begin to accrue (B) By the end of the first week (C) alveolar spaces are overwhelmed

          by reparative changes with myofibroblasts that produce an organizing pneumonia pattern Over the next weeks (D) the

          myofibroblasts become incorporated into the interstitium as the best outcome with reconstitution of the alveolar architecture

          Systemic lupus erythematosus

          Similar to RA SLE also commonly involves the

          respiratory system [18] Painful pleuritis with or

          without effusion is the most common abnormality

          [20] Noninfectious organizing pneumonia also has

          been reported and advanced fibrosis with honey-

          comb remodeling occurs (Fig 19) [34]

          Progressive systemic sclerosis

          The most notable feature of lsquolsquoscleroderma lungrsquorsquo

          is the presence of extensive alveolar wall fibrosis

          without much inflammation (Fig 20) [35] Some

          degree of diffuse lung fibrosis occurs in nearly every

          patient with pulmonary involvement [18] Patients

          with longstanding progressive systemic sclerosisndash

          related lung fibrosis are at high risk of developing

          bronchoalveolar carcinoma Vascular sclerosis usu-

          ally without true vasculitis is typical if sufficiently

          severe it produces pulmonary hypertension [36]

          Pleural disease is less common in progressive

          systemic sclerosis than in RA or SLE

          Mixed connective tissue disease

          Mixed connective tissue disease is relatively

          common in producing interstitial pulmonary disease

          or pleural effusions [18] In many cases the

          abnormalities respond well to corticosteroid therapy

          fibrosis does occur A pattern of fibrosis that re-

          sembles the pattern seen in UIP (see later discussion)

          occurs and pulmonary hypertension may occur

          accompanied by plexiform lesions similar to those

          seen in persons with primary pulmonary hyperten-

          sion [37]

          DermatomyositisPolymyositis

          Several forms of ILD have been reported in der-

          matomyositispolymyositis and the histologic find-

          ings seen on biopsy seem to be better predictors of

          prognosis than clinical or radiologic features [23] A

          subacute presentation with a noninfectious organizing

          pneumonia pattern has been associated with the best

          prognosis whereas the worst prognosis has been

          associated with advanced lung fibrosis [23]

          Sjogrenrsquos syndrome

          The common pulmonary lesions of Sjogrenrsquos

          syndrome generally evolve over weeks to months

          and are analogous to the disease manifestations in the

          salivary glands The range of disease patterns in

          Sjogrenrsquos syndrome is broad especially when Sjog-

          renrsquos syndrome is accompanied by other connective

          tissue disease A hallmark of pure Sjogrenrsquos syndrome

          in the lung is marked lymphoreticular infiltrates in

          the submucosal glands of the tracheobronchial tree

          (Fig 21) [18] Patients with Sjogrenrsquos syndrome also

          are at risk for LIP and occasionally develop lympho-

          proliferative disorders that involve the pulmonary

          interstitium ranging from relatively low-grade extra-

          nodal marginal zone lymphoma (MALToma) to a

          high-grade lymphoma Advanced lung fibrosis also

          occurs as pleuropulmonary manifestation in Sjogrenrsquos

          syndrome (Fig 22) [3839]

          Certain chronic drug reactions

          Many drugs are reported to produce lung fibrosis

          among them bleomycin carmustine penicillamine ni-

          trofurantoin tocainide mexiletine amiodarone aza-

          thioprine methotrexate melphalan and mitomycin C

          Unfortunately the list of agents is growing rapidly

          and the reader is referred to on-line resources such

          as wwwpneumotoxcom [188] for continuously

          updated information on reported drug reactions Bleo-

          mycin is presented in this article because it causes sub-

          acute and chronic toxicity and has been used widely

          as an experimental model of pulmonary fibrosis

          Bleomycin

          Bleomycin is an antineoplastic agent that becomes

          concentrated in skin lungs and lymphatic fluid

          Pulmonary lesions may be dose-related [4041] and

          prior radiotherapy seems to predispose to toxicity

          [42] The initial site of injury in experimental models

          seems to be the venous endothelial cell [43] but type I

          cell injury allows fibrin and other serum proteins to

          leak into the alveolus Type II cell hyperplasia occurs

          as a regenerative phenomenon that results in atypical

          enlarged forms and intra-alveolar fibroplasia occurs

          (often in a subpleural distribution) eventually result-

          ing in alveolar septal widening (Fig 23)

          Perhaps the most important finding in the Katzen-

          patients had morbidity and mortality rates signifi-

          cantly different from that of UIP in which reported

          mortality figures were more in the range of 90 with

          median survival in the range of 3 years Only 5 of 48

          patients with clinical follow-up died of progressive

          lung disease (11) whereas 39 patients either

          recovered or were alive with stable lung disease

          For the patients with follow-up no deaths were

          reported in group I patients whereas 3 patients from

          group II and 2 patients from group III died

          Unfortunately a significant number of patients were

          lost to follow-up and mean lengths of follow-up

          reported series of patients with NSIP [54ndash61] with

          variable reported survival rates (Table 5) Deaths

          occurred in patients with NSIP who had fibrosis

          Currently UIP has been restricted to a subset of the

          broad and heterogeneous group of diseases initially

          encompassed by this term [114]

          UIP is a disease of older individuals typically

          older than 50 years [62] Men are slightly more

          commonly affected than women Characteristic clini-

          cal findings include distinctive end-inspiratory

          consistent finding seen even in early examples of cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis is microscopic honeycombing (B) This focus

          3 years [3] and the mean survival after diagnosis has

          been reported as 42 years in a population-based

          study [63] Different from other chronic inflamma-

          tory lung diseases immunosuppressive therapy im-

          proves neither survival nor quality of life for patients

          with UIP [62]

          HRCT has added a new dimension to the diagnosis

          of UIP The abnormalities are most prominent at the

          periphery of the lungs and in the lung bases

          regardless of the stage [64] Irregular linear opacities

          result in a reticular pattern [64] Advanced lung

          remodeling with cyst formation (honeycombing) is

          seen in approximately 90 of patients at presentation

          [65] Ground-glass opacities can be seen in approxi-

          mately 80 of cases of UIP but are seldom extensive

          The gross examination of the lung often reveals a

          characteristic nodular external surface (Fig 29)

          Histopathologically UIP is best envisioned as a

          smoldering alveolitis of unknown cause accompanied

          by microscopic foci of injury repair and lung

          remodeling with dense fibrosis The disease begins

          at the periphery of the pulmonary lobule and has a

          consistent tendency to leave lung fibrosis and honey-

          comb cystic lung remodeling in its wake as it

          progresses from the periphery to the center of the

          lobule (Fig 30) This transition from dense fibrosis

          with or without honeycombing to near normal lung

          through an intermediate stage of alveolar organization

          and inflammation is the histologic hallmark of so-

          called lsquolsquotemporal heterogeneityrsquorsquo Thick irregular

          bundles of smooth muscle typically are present within

          areas of fibrosis (Fig 31) presumably arising as a

          consequence of progressive parenchymal collapse

          with incorporation of native airway and vascular

          smooth muscle into fibrosis Less well-recognized

          additional features of UIP are distortion and narrow-

          ing of bronchioles together with peribronchiolar

          fibrosis and inflammation This observation likely

          accounts for the functional evidence of small airway

          obstruction that may be found in UIP [66] Wide-

          Acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

          Episodes of clinical deterioration are expected in

          patients with UIP Although lsquolsquorespiratory failurersquorsquo is

          the cause of death in approximately one half of

          affected individuals for a small subset death is

          sudden after acute respiratory failure This manifes-

          tation of the disease has been termed lsquolsquoacute exa-

          cerbation of IPFrsquorsquo when no infectious cause is

          identified The typical history is that of a patient

          being followed for IPF who suddenly develops acute

          respiratory distress that often is accompanied by

          fever elevation of the sedimentation rate marked

          increase in dyspnea and new infiltrates that often

          have an lsquolsquoalveolarrsquorsquo character radiologically For

          many years this manifestation was believed to be

          infectious pneumonia (possibly viral) superimposed

          on a fibrotic lung with marginal reserve Because

          cases are sufficiently common organisms are rarely

          identified and a small percentage of patients respond

          to pulse systemic corticosteroid therapy many inves-

          tigators consider such exacerbation to be a form of

          fulminant progression of the disease process itself

          Overall acute exacerbation has a poor prognosis and

          death within 1 week is not unusual Pathologically

          acute lung injury that resembles DAD or organizing

          pneumonia is superimposed on a background of

          peripherally accentuated lobular fibrosis with honey-

          combing This latter finding can be highlighted in

          tissue sections using the Masson trichrome stain for

          collagen (Fig 32) That acute exacerbation is a real

          phenomenon in IPF is underscored by the results of a

          recent large randomized trial of human recombinant

          interferon gamma 1b in IPF In this study of patients

          with early clinical disease (FVC 50 of predicted)

          44 of 330 enrolled subjects died unexpectedly within

          the 48-week trial period Eighty percent of deaths in

          the experimental and control groups were respiratory

          in origin and without a defined cause [67]

          Pattern 3 interstitial lung diseases dominated by

          interstitial mononuclear cells (chronic

          inflammation)

          The most classic manifestation of ILD is em-

          bodied in this pattern in which mononuclear in-

          flammatory cells (eg lymphocytes plasma cells and

          histiocytes) distend the interstitium of the alveolar

          walls The pattern is common and has several

          associated conditions (Box 6)

          Hypersensitivity pneumonitis

          Lung disease can result from inhalation of various

          organic antigens In most of these exposures the

          disease is immunologically mediated presumably

          through a type III hypersensitivity reaction although

          the immunologic mechanisms have not been well

          documented in all conditions [68] The prototypic

          example is so-called lsquolsquofarmerrsquos lungrsquorsquo which is

          caused by hypersensitivity to thermophilic actino-

          mycetes (Micromonospora vulgaris and Thermophyl-

          liae polyspora) that grow in moldy hay

          The radiologic appearance depends on the stage of

          the disease In the acute stage airspace consolidation

          is the dominant feature In the subacute stage there is

          a fine nodular pattern or ground-glass opacification

          The chronic stage is dominated by fibrosis with

          ute lung injury that resembles DAD or organizing pneumonia

          poorly defined centrilobular nodular opacities or

          symmetric bilateral ground-glass opacities which

          are often associated with lobular areas of air trapping

          [69] The chronic phase is characterized by irregular

          linear opacities (reticular pattern) that represent

          fibrosis which are usually most severe in the mid-

          lung zones [70]

          The classic histologic features of hypersensitivity

          pneumonia are presented in Table 6 Because biopsy

          is typically performed in the subacute phase the

          picture is usually one of a chronic inflammatory

          interstitial infiltrate with lymphocytes and variable

          numbers of plasma cells Lung structure is preserved

          and alveoli usually can be distinguished A few

          scattered poorly formed granulomas are seen in the

          interstitium (Fig 33) The epithelioid cells in the

          lsquolsquogranulomasrsquorsquo are loosely aggregated and mixed with

          lymphocytes Characteristically scattered giant cells

          of the foreign body type are seen around terminal

          airways and may contain cleft-like spaces or small

          particles that are doubly refractile (Fig 34) Terminal

          airways display chronic inflammation of their walls

          (bronchiolitis) often with destruction distortion and

          even occlusion Pale or lightly eosinophilic vacuo-

          lated macrophages are typically found in alveolar

          spaces and are a common sign of bronchiolar

          obstruction Similar macrophages also are seen within

          alveolar walls

          was not identified in 37 of patients who had

          unequivocal evidence of hypersensitivity pneumo-

          nitis on biopsy [71] even with careful retrospective

          search [72] As the condition becomes more chronic

          there is progressive distortion of the lung architecture

          by fibrosis and microscopic honeycombing occa-

          sionally attended by extensive pleural fibrosis At this

          stage the lesions are difficult to distinguish from

          trates may be present on HRCT scans but basalar and

          peripherally accentuated high attenuation opacities

          and nonspecific infiltrates are described [8182]

          Amiodarone toxicity produces a cellular interstitial

          pneumonia associated with prominent intra-alveolar

          macrophages whose cytoplasm shows fine vacuola-

          tion [7783ndash85] This vacuolation is also present in

          adjacent reactive type 2 pneumocytes Characteristic

          lamellar cytoplasmic inclusions are present ultra-

          structurally [86] Unfortunately these cytoplasmic

          changes are an expected manifestation of the drug so

          their presence is not sufficient to warrant a diagnosis

          of amiodarone toxicity [83] Pleural inflammation

          and pleural effusion have been reported [87] Some

          Most patients who develop pulmonary toxicity

          continued [777883ndash85]

          Idiopathic lymphoid interstitial pneumonia

          LIP is a clinical pathologic entity that fits

          descriptively within the chronic interstitial pneumo-

          nias By consensus LIP has been included in the

          current classification of the idiopathic interstitial

          pneumonias despite decades of controversy about

          what diseases are encompassed by this term In 1969

          Liebow and Carrington [3] briefly presented a group

          of patients and used the term LIP to describe their

          biopsy findings The defining criteria were morphol-

          ogic and included lsquolsquoan exquisitely interstitial infil-

          tratersquorsquo that was described as generally polymorphous

          and consisted of lymphocytes plasma cells and large

          mononuclear cells (Fig 38) Several associated

          clinical conditions have been described including

          connective tissue diseases bone marrow transplanta-

          tion acquired and congenital immunodeficiency

          syndromes and diffuse lymphoid hyperplasia of the

          intestine This disease is considered idiopathic only

          when a cause or association cannot be identified

          The idiopathic form of LIP occurs most com-

          monly between the ages of 50 and 70 but children

          may be affected Women are more commonly

          affected than men Cough dyspnea and progressive

          tion [90] although thickening of the bronchovascular

          bundles and thin-walled cysts may be seen [90]

          LIP is best thought of as a histopathologic pattern

          rather than a diagnosis because LIP as proposed

          initially has morphologic features that are difficult to

          separate accurately from other lymphoplasmacellular

          interstitial infiltrates including low-grade lymphomas

          of extranodal marginal zone type (maltoma) The LIP

          pattern requires clinical and laboratory correlation for

          accurate assessment similar to organizing pneumo-

          nia NSIP and DIP The histopathologic hallmarks of

          the LIP pattern include diffuse interstitial infiltration

          by lymphocytes plasmacytoid lymphocytes plasma

          cells and histiocytes (Fig 39) Giant cells and small

          granulomas may be present [91] Honeycombing with

          interstitial fibrosis can occur Immunophenotyping

          shows lack of clonality in the lymphoid infiltrate

          When LIP accompanies HIV infection a wide age

          range occurs and it is commonly found in children

          [92ndash95] These HIV-infected patients have the same

          nonspecific respiratory symptoms but weight loss is

          more common Other features of HIV and AIDS

          such as lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly

          are also more common Mean survival is worse than

          that of LIP alone with adults living an average of

          14 months and children an average of 32 months

          [96] The morphology of LIP with or without HIV

          is similar

          Pattern 4 interstitial lung diseases dominated by

          airspace filling

          A significant number of ILDs are attended or

          dominated by the presence of material filling the

          alveolar spaces Depending on the composition of

          this airspace filling process a narrow differential

          diagnosis typically emerges The prototype for the

          airspace filling pattern is organizing pneumonia in

          which immature fibroblasts (myofibroblasts) form

          polypoid growths within the terminal airways and

          alveoli Organizing pneumonia is a common and

          nonspecific reaction to lung injury Other material

          also can occur in the airspaces such as neutrophils in

          the case of bacterial pneumonia proteinaceous

          material in alveolar proteinosis and even bone in

          so-called lsquolsquoracemosersquorsquo or dendritic calcification

          Neutrophils

          When neutrophils fill the alveolar spaces the

          disease is usually acute clinically and bacterial

          pneumonia leads the differential diagnosis (Fig 40)

          Rarely immunologically mediated pulmonary hem-

          orrhage can be associated with brisk episodes of

          neutrophilic capillaritis these cells can shed into the

          alveolar spaces and mimic bronchopneumonia

          niarsquorsquo although many clinicians believe that this is an

          automatic indictment of infection Unfortunately the

          lung has a limited capacity for repair after any injury

          and organizing pneumonia often is a part of this

          process regardless of the exact mechanism of injury

          The more generic term lsquolsquoairspace organizationrsquorsquo is

          preferable but longstanding habits are hard to

          change Some of the more common causes of the

          organizing pneumonia pattern are presented in Box 7

          One particular form of diffuse lung disease is

          characterized by airspace organization and is idio-

          pathic This clinicopathologic condition was previ-

          ously referred to as lsquolsquoidiopathic bronchiolitis obliterans

          organizing pneumoniarsquorsquo (idiopathic BOOP) The name

          of this disorder recently was changed to COP

          Idiopathic cryptogenic organizing pneumonia

          In 1983 Davison et al [97] described a group of

          patients with COP and 2 years later Epler et al [98]

          described similar cases as idiopathic BOOP The pro-

          cess described in these series is believed to be the

          same [1] as those cases described by Liebow and

          Carrington in 1969 as lsquolsquoidiopathic bronchiolitis oblit-

          sonable consensus has emerged regarding what is

          being called COP [97ndash100] King and Mortensen

          [101] recently compiled the findings from 4 major

          case series reported from North America adding 18

          of their own cases (112 cases in all) Based on

          these compiled data the following description of

          COP emerges

          The evolution of clinical symptoms is subacute

          (4 months on average and 3 months in most) and

          follows a flu-like illness in 40 of cases The average

          age at presentation is 58 years (range 21ndash80 years)

          and there is no sex predominance Dyspnea and

          cough are present in half the patients Fever is

          common and leukocytosis occurs in approximately

          one fourth The erythrocyte sedimentation rate is

          typically elevated [102] Clubbing is rare Restrictive

          lung disease is present in approximately half of the

          patients with COP and the diffusing capacity is

          reduced in most Airflow obstruction is mild and

          typically affects patients who are smokers

          Chest radiographs show patchy bilateral (some-

          times unilateral) nonsegmental airspace consolidation

          [103] which may be migratory and similar to those of

          eosinophilic pneumonia Reticulation may be seen in

          10 to 40 of patients but rarely is predominant

          [103104] The most characteristic HRCT features of

          COP are patchy unilateral or bilateral areas of

          consolidation which have a predominantly peribron-

          chial or subpleural distribution (or both) in approxi-

          mately 60 of cases In 30 to 50 of cases small

          ill-defined nodules (3ndash10 mm in diameter) are seen

          [105ndash108] and a reticular pattern is seen in 10 to

          30 of cases

          The major histopathologic feature of COP is

          alveolar space organization (so-called lsquolsquoMasson

          bodiesrsquorsquo) but it also extends to involve alveolar ducts

          and respiratory bronchioles in which the process has

          a characteristic polypoid and fibromyxoid appearance

          (Fig 41) The parenchymal involvement tends to be

          patchy All of the organization seems to be recent

          Unfortunately the term BOOP has become one of the

          most commonly misused descriptions in lung pathol-

          ogy much to the dismay of clinicians Pathologists

          use the term to describe nonspecific organization that

          occurs in alveolar ducts and alveolar spaces of lung

          biopsies Clinicians hear the term BOOP or BOOP

          pattern and often interpret this as a clinical diagnosis

          of idiopathic BOOP Because of this misuse there is a

          growing consensus [101109] regarding use of the

          term COP to describe the clinicopathologic entity for

          the following reasons (1) Although COP is primarily

          an organizing pneumonia in up to 30 or more of

          cases granulation tissue is not present in membra-

          nous bronchioles and at times may not even be seen

          in respiratory bronchioles [97] (2) The term lsquolsquobron-

          chiolitis obliteransrsquorsquo has been used in so many

          different ways that it has become a highly ambiguous

          term (3) Bronchiolitis generally produces obstruction

          to airflow and COP is primarily characterized by a

          restrictive defect

          The expected prognosis of COP is relatively good

          In 63 of affected patients the condition resolves

          mainly as a response to systemic corticosteroids

          Twelve percent die typically in approximately

          3 months The disease persists in the remaining sub-

          set or relapses if steroids are tapered too quickly

          Patients with COP who fare poorly frequently have

          comorbid disorders such as connective tissue disease

          or thyroiditis or have been taking nitrofurantoin

          [110] A recent study showed that the presence of

          reticular opacities in a patient with COP portended

          a worse prognosis [111]

          Macrophages

          Macrophages are an integral part of the lungrsquos

          defense system These cells are migratory and

          generally do not accumulate in the lung to a

          significant degree in the absence of obstruction of

          the airways or other pathology In smokers dusty

          brown macrophages tend to accumulate around the

          terminal airways and peribronchiolar alveolar spaces

          and in association with interstitial fibrosis The

          cigarette smokingndashrelated airway disease known as

          respiratory bronchiolitisndashassociated ILD is discussed

          later in this article with the smoking-related ILDs

          Beyond smoking some infectious diseases are

          characterized by a prominent alveolar macrophage

          reaction such as the malacoplakia-like reaction to

          Rhodococcus equi infection in the immunocompro-

          mised host or the mucoid pneumonia reaction to

          cryptococcal pneumonia Conditions associated with

          a DIP-like reaction are presented in Box 8

          Eosinophilic pneumonia

          Acute eosinophilic pneumonia was discussed

          earlier with the acute ILDs but the acute and chronic

          forms of eosinophilic pneumonia often are accom-

          panied by a striking macrophage reaction in the

          airspaces Different from the macrophages in a

          patient with smoking-related macrophage accumula-

          tion the macrophages of eosinophilic pneumonia

          tend to have a brightly eosinophilic appearance and

          are plump with dense cytoplasm Multinucleated

          forms may occur and the macrophages may aggre-

          gate in sufficient density to suggest granulomas in the

          alveolar spaces When this occurs a careful search

          for eosinophils in the alveolar spaces and reactive

          type II cell hyperplasia is often helpful in distinguish-

          ing eosinophilic lung disease from other conditions

          characterized by a histiocytic reaction

          Idiopathic desquamative interstitial pneumonia

          In 1965 Liebow et al [112] described 18 cases of

          diffuse lung diseases that differed in many respects

          from UIP The striking histologic feature was the pre-

          sence of numerous cells filling the airspaces Liebow

          et al believed that the cells were chiefly desquamated

          alveolar epithelial lining cells and coined the term

          lsquolsquodesquamative interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo It is currently

          known that these cells are predominately macro-

          phages however [113] DIP and the cigarette smok-

          ingndashrelated disease known as RB-ILD are believed to

          be similar if not identical diseases possibly repre-

          senting different expressions of disease severity [115]

          RB-ILD is discussed later in this article in the section

          on smoking-related diffuse lung disease

          The patients described by Liebow et al [112] were

          on average slightly younger than patients with UIP

          and their symptoms were usually milder Clubbing

          was uncommon but in later series some patients with

          clubbing were identified [4] Most patients have a

          subacute lung disease of weeks to months of evo-

          lution The predominant finding on the radiograph and

          HRCT in patients with DIP consists of ground-glass

          opacities particularly at the bases and at the costo-

          phrenic angles [115] Some patients have mild reticu-

          lar changes superimposed on ground-glass opacities

          In lung biopsy the scanning magnification

          appearance of DIP is striking (Fig 42) The alveolar

          spaces are filled with lightly pigmented (brown)

          macrophages and multinucleated cells are commonly

          Fig 42 DIP The scanning magnification appearance of DIP is strik

          (brown) macrophages and multinucleated cells are commonly pre

          present Additional important features include the

          relative preservation of lung architecture with only

          mild thickening of alveolar walls and absence of

          severe fibrosis or honeycombing [116ndash118] Inter-

          stitial mononuclear inflammation is seen sometimes

          with scattered lymphoid follicles The histologic

          appearance of DIP is not specific It is commonly

          present in other diffuse and localized lung diseases

          including UIP asbestosis [119] and other dust-

          related diseases [120] DIP-like reactions occur after

          nitrofurantoin therapy [121122] and in alveolar

          spaces adjacent to the nodules of PLCH (see later

          section on smoking-related diseases)

          Cases have been reported in which classic DIP

          lsquolsquoprogressed to fibrosing alveolitisrsquorsquo [117123] It

          seems clear that DIP represents a nonspecific reaction

          and more commonly occurs in smokers It is critical

          to distinguish between DIP and UIP especially

          because these diseases are regarded as different from

          one another Research has shown conclusively that

          the clinical features are different the prognosis is

          much better in DIP and DIP may respond to

          corticosteroid administration [124] whereas UIP

          does not [62]

          Proteinaceous material

          When eosinophilic material fills the alveolar

          spaces the differential diagnosis includes pulmonary

          edema and alveolar proteinosis

          Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis

          PAP (alveolar lipoproteinosis) is a rare diffuse

          lung disease characterized by the intra-alveolar

          ing (A) The alveolar spaces are filled with lightly pigmented

          sent (B)

          accumulation of lipid-rich eosinophilic material

          [125] PAP likely occurs as a result of overproduction

          of surfactant by type II cells impaired clearance of

          surfactant by alveolar macrophages or a combination

          of these mechanisms The disease can occur as an

          idiopathic form but also occurs in the settings of

          occupational disease (especially dust-related) drug-

          induced injury hematologic diseases and in many

          settings of immunodeficiency [125ndash128] PAP is

          commonly associated with exposure to inhaled

          crystalline material and silica although other sub-

          stances have been implicated [126] The idiopathic

          form is the most common presentation with a male

          predominance and an age range of 30 to 50 years

          The usual presenting symptom is insidious dyspnea

          sometimes with cough [129] although the clinical

          symptoms are often less dramatic than the radio-

          logic abnormalities

          Chest radiographs show extensive bilateral air-

          space consolidation that involves mainly the perihilar

          regions CT demonstrates what seems to be smooth

          thickening of lobular septa that is not seen on the

          chest radiograph The thickening of lobular septae

          within areas of ground-glass attenuation is character-

          istic of alveolar proteinosis on CT and is referred to as

          lsquolsquocrazy pavingrsquorsquo [130] The areas of ground-glass

          attenuation and consolidation are often sharply

          demarcated from the surrounding normal lung with-

          out an apparent anatomic correlation [130ndash132]

          Histopathologically the scanning magnification

          appearance is distinctive if not diagnostic Pink

          granular material fills the airspaces often with a

          rim of retraction that separates the alveolar wall

          slightly from the exudate (Fig 43) Embedded

          clumps of dense globular granules and cholesterol

          clefts are seen (Fig 44) The periodic-acid Schiff

          stain reveals a diastase-resistant positive reaction in

          the proteinaceous material of PAP Dramatic inflam-

          matory changes should suggest comorbid infection

          The idiopathic form of PAP has an excellent

          prognosis Many patients are only mildly symptom-

          atic In patients with severe dyspnea and hypoxemia

          treatment can be accomplished with one or more

          sessions of whole lung lavage which usually induces

          remission and excellent long-term survival [133]

          Pattern 5 interstitial lung diseases dominated by

          nodules

          Some ILDs are dominated by or significantly

          associated with nodules For most of the diffuse

          ILDs the nodules are small and appreciated best

          under the microscope In some instances nodules

          may be sufficiently large and diffuse in distribution

          that they are identified on HRCT In others cases a

          few large nodules may be present in two or more

          lobes or bilaterally (eg Wegener granulomatosis) For

          neoplasms that diffusely involve the lung the nodular

          pattern is overwhelmingly represented (eg lymphan-

          gitic carcinomatosis) The differential diagnosis of the

          nodular pattern is presented in Box 9

          Nodular granulomas

          pneumonia is discussed under Pattern 3 because the

          pattern is more one of cellular chronic interstitial

          pneumonia with granulomas being subtle

          Granulomatous infection

          Most nodular granulomatous reactions in the lung

          are of infectious origin until proven otherwise

          especially in the presence of necrosis The infectious

          diseases that characteristically produce well-formed

          granulomas are typically caused by mycobacteria

          fungi and rarely bacteria Sometimes Pneumocystis

          infection produces a nodular pattern A list of the

          diffuse lung diseases associated with granulomas is

          presented in Box 10

          Sarcoidosis

          Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease

          of uncertain origin The disease commonly affects the

          lungs [134135] The origin pathogenesis and

          epidemiology of sarcoidosis suggest that it is a

          disorder of immune regulation [136ndash138] The

          observation that sarcoid granulomas recur after lung

          transplantation [139ndash141] seems to underscore fur-

          ther the notion that this is an acquired systemic

          abnormality of immunity It also emphasizes the fact

          that even profound immunosuppression (such as that

          used in transplantation) may be ineffective in halting

          disease progression for the subset whose condition

          persists and progresses to lung fibrosis

          Sarcoidosis occurs most frequently in young

          adults but has been described in all ages There is a

          decreased incidence of sarcoidosis in cigarette smok-

          ers Many patients with intrathoracic sarcoidosis are

          symptom free Systemic manifestations may be

          identified (in decreasing frequency) in lymph nodes

          eyes liver skin spleen salivary glands bone heart

          and kidneys Breathlessness is the most common

          pulmonary symptom

          The chest radiographic appearance is often char-

          acteristic with a combination of symmetrical bilateral

          hilar and paratracheal lymph node enlargement

          together with a varied pattern of parenchymal

          involvement including linear nodular and ground-

          glass opacities [142] In approximately 25 of the

          patients the radiographic appearance is atypical and

          in approximately 10 it is normal [143] Staging of

          the disease is based on pattern of involvement on

          plain chest radiographs only [135142]

          The histopathologic hallmark of sarcoidosis is the

          presence of well-formed granulomas without necrosis

          (Fig 45) Granulomas are classically distributed

          along lymphatic channels of the bronchovascular

          bundles interlobular septa and pleura (Fig 46) The

          area between granulomas is frequently sclerotic and

          adjacent small granulomas tend to coalesce into larger

          nodules Because of involvement of the broncho-

          vascular bundles and the characteristic histology

          sarcoidosis is one of the few diffuse lung diseases

          that can be diagnosed with a high degree of success

          by transbronchial biopsy (Fig 47) [144] Although

          necrosis is not a feature of the disease sometimes

          sarcoidosis is the presence of well-formed granulomas

          sarcoidosis is one of the few diffuse lung diseases that can

          be diagnosed with a high degree of success by trans-

          bronchial biopsy An interstitial granuloma is present at the

          recognized as a health hazard in fluorescent lamp

          When lymphoid germinal centers (secondary

          lymphoid follicles) are present in the lung biopsy

          (Fig 49) the differential diagnosis always includes a

          lung manifestation of RA Sjogrenrsquos syndrome or

          Diffuse panbronchiolitis can produce a dramatic

          diffuse nodular pattern in lung biopsies This

          condition is a distinctive form of chronic bronchi-

          olitis seen almost exclusively in people of East

          Asian descent (ie Japan Korea China) Diffuse

          panbronchiolitis may occur rarely in individuals in

          Asian descent

          Severe chronic inflammation is centered on

          respiratory bronchioles early in the disease followed

          by involvement of distal membranous bronchioles

          and peribronchiolar alveolar spaces as the disease

          progresses A characteristic low magnification ap-

          pearance is that of nodular bronchiolocentric lesions

          (Fig 50) The characteristic and nearly diagnostic

          feature of diffuse panbronchiolitis is the accumulation

          of many pale vacuolated macrophages in the walls

          and lumens of respiratory bronchioles and in adjacent

          airspaces (Fig 51) Japanese investigators suspect

          that the condition occurs in the United States and has

          been underrecognized This view was substantiated

          of these patients were reclassified as having diffuse

          panbronchiolitis (86)

          Nodules of neoplastic cells

          Isolated nodules of neoplastic cells occur com-

          monly as primary and metastatic cancer in the lung

          When nodules of neoplastic cells are seen in the

          radiologic context of ILD lymphangitic carcinoma-

          tosis leads the differential diagnosis LAM also can

          produce diffuse ILD typically with small nodules

          and cysts LAM is discussed later in this article under

          Pattern 6 PLCH also can produce small nodules and

          cysts diffusely in the lung (typically in the upper lung

          zones) and this entity is discussed with the smoking-

          related interstitial diseases

          Lymphangitic carcinomatosis

          Pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis (lym-

          phangitis carcinomatosa) is a form of metastatic

          carcinoma that involves the lung primarily within

          lymphatics The disease produces a miliary nodular

          pattern at scanning magnification Lymphangitic

          carcinoma is typically adenocarcinoma The most

          common sites of origin are breast lung and stomach

          although primary disease in pancreas ovary kidney

          and uterine cervix also can give rise to this

          manifestation of metastatic spread Patients often

          present with insidious onset of dyspnea that is

          frequently accompanied by an irritating cough The

          radiographic abnormalities include linear opacities

          Kerley B lines subpleural edema and hilar and

          mediastinal lymph node enlargement [154] The

          HRCT findings are highly characteristic and accu-

          rately reflect the microscopic distribution in this

          disease with uneven thickening of the bronchovas-

          cular bundles and lobular septa which gives them a

          beaded appearance [155156]

          Histopathologically malignant tumor cells are

          typically present in small aggregates within lym-

          phatic channels of the bronchovascular sheath and

          pleura (Fig 52) Variable amounts of tumor may be

          present throughout the lung in the interstitium of the

          alveolar walls in the airspaces and in small muscular

          pulmonary arteries This latter finding (microangio-

          pathic obliterative endarteritis) may be the origin of

          the edema inflammation and interstitial fibrosis that

          frequently accompany the disease and likely accounts

          for the clinical and radiologic impression of nonneo-

          plastic diffuse lung disease [154157]

          Pattern 6 interstitial lung disease with subtle

          findings in surgical biopsies (chronic evolution)

          A limited differential diagnosis is invoked by the

          relative absence of abnormalities in a surgical lung

          biopsy (Box 11) Three main categories of disease

          emerge in this setting (1) diseases of the small

          rheumatoid bronchiolitis complex bronchiolar metaplasia

          involves a membranous bronchiole accompanied by fol-

          licular bronchiolitis Small rheumatoid nodules (similar to

          those that occur around the joints) also can be seen

          occasionally in the walls of airways which results in partial

          or total occlusion

          KO Leslie Clin Chest Med 25 (2004) 657ndash703 691

          airways (eg constrictive bronchiolitis) (2) vasculo-

          pathic conditions (eg pulmonary hypertension) and

          (3) two diseases that may be dominated by cysts the

          rare disease known as LAM and PLCH in the in-

          active or healed phase of the disease All of these may

          be dramatic in biopsy specimens but when con-

          fronted with the lsquolsquonearly normalrsquorsquo lung biopsy in a pa-

          tient with significant clinical disease these three

          groups of diseases dominate the differential diagnosis

          Small airways disease and constrictive bronchiolitis

          Obliteration of the small membranous bronchioles

          can occur as a result of infection toxic inhalational

          exposure drugs systemic connective tissue diseases

          and as an idiopathic form Outside of the setting of

          lung transplantation in which so-called lsquolsquobronchio-

          litis obliteransrsquorsquo (having histopathology similar to

          constrictive bronchiolitis) occurs as a chronic mani-

          festation of organ rejection the diagnosis presents a

          challenge for pulmonologists and pathologists alike

          In this section we present a few recognized forms of

          nonndashtransplant-associated constrictive bronchiolitis

          Irritants and infections

          Many irritant gases can produce severe bronchi-

          olitis This inflammatory injury may be followed by

          the accumulation of loose granulation tissue and

          finally by complete stenosis and occlusion of the

          airways The best known of these agents are nitrogen

          dioxide [158] sulfur dioxide [159] and ammonia

          [160] Viral infection also can cause permanent

          bronchiolar injury particularly adenovirus infection

          [161] Mycoplasma pneumonia is also cited as a

          potential cause [162] The course of events is similar

          to that for the toxic gases Variable degrees of

          bronchiectasis or bronchioloectasis may occur sec-

          ondarily up- and downstream from the area of

          occlusion Lung biopsy is performed rarely and then

          usually because the patient is young and unusual

          airflow obstruction is present Occasionally mixed

          obstruction and restriction may occur presumably on

          the basis of diffuse peribronchiolar scarring This

          airway-associated scarring may produce CT findings

          of lsquolsquointerstitialrsquorsquo disease The airway lesions are subtle

          but can be recognized by variable reduction in

          bronchiolar luminal diameter compared with the

          adjacent pulmonary artery branch (Normally these

          should be roughly equal in diameter when viewed

          as cross-sections) The diagnosis depends on careful

          clinical correlation and sometimes the addition of a

          comparison between inspiratory and expiratory

          HRCT scans which typically shows prominent

          mosaic air trapping

          Rheumatoid bronchiolitis

          Patients with RA may develop constrictive bron-

          chiolitis as a consequence of their disease In some

          patients small rheumatoid nodules can be seen in the

          walls of airways which results in their partial or total

          occlusion (Fig 53) From a practical point of view

          the lesions are focal within the airways often in small

          bronchi and may not be visualized easily in the

          biopsy specimen Because of the widespread recog-

          nition of rheumatoid bronchiolitis biopsy is rarely

          performed in these patients Morphologically scat-

          tered occlusion of small bronchi and bronchioles is

          observed and is associated with the presence of loose

          connective tissue in their lumens

          Neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia with occlusive

          bronchiolar fibrosis

          In 1992 Aguayo et al [163] reported six patients

          with moderate chronic airflow obstruction all of

          whom never smoked Diffuse neuroendocrine cell

          hyperplasia of the bronchioles associated with partial

          or total occlusion of airway lumens by fibrous tissue

          was present in all six patients (Fig 54) Three of the

          patients also had peripheral carcinoid tumors and

          three had progressive dyspnea

          In a study of 25 peripheral carcinoid tumors that

          occurred in smokers and nonsmokers Miller and

          Muller [164] identified 19 patients (76) with

          neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of the airways which

          occurred mostly in bronchioles Eight patients (32)

          recognized as an expression of chronic organ rejection in the

          setting of lung transplantation (bronchiolitis obliterans

          syndrome) It also occurs on the basis of many other injuries

          and exists as an idiopathic form In this photograph taken

          from a biopsy in a lung transplant patient the bronchiole can

          be seen at center right but the lumen is filled with loose

          were found to have occlusive bronchiolar fibrosis

          Four of the 8 had mild chronic airflow obstruction

          and 2 of these 4 patients were nonsmokers

          An increase in neuroendocrine cells was present in

          more than 20 of bronchioles examined in lung

          adjacent to the tumor and in tissue blocks taken well

          away from tumor Less than half of these airways

          were partially or totally occluded The mildest lesion

          consisted of linear zones of neuroendocrine cell

          hyperplasia with focal subepithelial fibrosis The

          most severely involved bronchioles showed total

          luminal occlusion by fibrous tissue with few visible

          neuroendocrine cells

          In both of these studies most of the patients with

          airway neuroendocrine hyperplasia were women Pre-

          sumably fibrosis in this setting of neuroendocrine

          hyperplasia is related to one or more peptides se-

          creted by neuroendocrine cells possibly these cells are

          more effective in stimulating airway fibrosis inwomen

          Cryptogenic constrictive bronchiolitis

          Unexplained chronic airflow obstruction that

          occurs in nonsmokers may be a result of selective

          (and likely multifocal) obliteration of the membra-

          nous bronchioles (constrictive bronchiolitis) In a

          study of 2094 patients with a forced expiratory

          volume in the first second (FEV1) of less than

          60 of predicted [165] 10 patients (9 women) were

          identified They ranged in age from 27 to 60 years

          Five were found to have RA and presumably

          rheumatoid bronchiolitis The other 5 had airflow

          obstruction of unknown cause believed to be caused

          by lsquolsquobronchiolitisrsquorsquo Other studies also identified a

          cryptogenic form of bronchiolar disease that produces

          airflow obstruction [166167] When biopsies have

          been performed constrictive bronchiolitis seems to

          be the common pathologic manifestation (Fig 55)

          It is fair to conclude that a rare but fairly distinct

          clinical syndrome exists that consists of mild airflow

          obstruction and usually affects middle-aged women

          who manifest nonspecific respiratory symptoms

          such as cough and dyspnea It is possible that these

          cryptogenic cases of constrictive bronchiolitis are

          manifestations of undeclared systemic connective

          tissue disease the sequelae of prior undetected

          community-acquired infections (eg viral myco-

          plasmal chlamydial) or exposure to toxin

          Interstitial lung disease dominated by

          airway-associated scarring

          A form of small airway-associated ILD has been

          described in recent years under the names lsquolsquoidiopathic

          bronchiolocentric interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo [168] and

          lsquolsquoairway-centered interstitial fibrosisrsquorsquo [169] Affected

          patients have more of a restrictive than obstructive

          functional deficit and the process is characterized

          histopathologically by the presence of significant

          small airwayndashassociated scarring similar to that seen

          in forms of chronic hypersensitivity pneumonia

          certain chronic inhalational injuries (including sub-

          clinical chronic aspiration pneumonia) and even

          some examples of late-stage inactive PLCH (which

          typically lacks characteristic Langerhansrsquo cells) This

          morphologic group may pose diagnostic challenges

          because of the absence of interstitial inflammatory

          changes despite the radiologic and functional impres-

          sion of ILD

          Vasculopathic disease

          Diseases that involve the small arteries and veins

          of the lung can be subtle when viewed from low

          magnification under the microscope (Fig 56) This is

          not to imply that the entities of pulmonary hyper-

          tension capillary hemangiomatosis and veno-occlu-

          sive disease are always subtle (Fig 57) A complete

          discussion of these disease conditions is beyond the

          scope of this article however when the lung biopsy

          has little pathology evident at scanning magnifica-

          tion a careful evaluation of the pulmonary arteries

          and veins is always in order

          Pulmonary LAM is a rare disease characterized by

          an abnormal proliferation of smooth muscle cells in

          the pulmonary interstitium and associated with the

          formation of cysts [170ndash173] The disease is

          centered on lymphatic channels blood vessels and

          airways LAM is a disease of women typically in

          their childbearing years The disease does occur in

          older women and rarely in men [174] There is a

          strong association between the inherited genetic

          disorder known as tuberous sclerosis complex and

          the occurrence of LAM Most patients with LAM do

          not have tuberous sclerosis complex but approxi-

          mately one fourth of patients with tuberous sclerosis

          complex have LAM as diagnosed by chest HRCT

          [175] The most common presenting symptoms are

          spontaneous pneumothorax and exertional dyspnea

          Others symptoms include chyloptosis hemoptysis

          and chest pain The characteristic findings on CT are

          numerous cysts separated by normal-appearing lung

          parenchyma The cysts range from 2 to 10 mm in

          diameter and are seen much better with HRCT

          [171176]

          The appearance of the abnormal smooth muscle in

          LAM is sufficiently characteristic so that once

          recognized it is rarely forgotten Cystic spaces are

          present at low magnification (Fig 58) The walls of

          these spaces have variable amounts of bundled

          spindled cells (Fig 59) The nuclei of these spindled

          cells (Fig 60) are larger than those of normal smooth

          muscle bundles seen around alveolar ducts or in the

          walls of airways or vessels Immunohistochemical

          related diseases the first of which is related to DIP

          and likely represents an earlier stage or alternate

          manifestation along a spectrum of macrophage

          Respiratory bronchiolitisndashassociated interstitial lung

          disease

          Respiratory bronchiolitis is a common finding in

          the lungs of cigarette smokers and some investiga-

          tors consider this lesion to be a precursor of centri-

          acinar emphysema Respiratory bronchiolitis affects

          the terminal airways and is characterized by delicate

          fibrous bands that radiate from the peribronchiolar

          connective tissue into the surrounding lung (Fig 64)

          Dusty appearing tan-brown pigmented alveolar

          macrophages are present in the adjacent airspaces

          and a mild amount of interstitial chronic inflamma-

          tion is present Bronchiolar metaplasia (extension of

          terminal airway epithelium to alveolar ducts) is

          usually present to some degree In the bronchioles

          submucosal fibrosis may be present but constrictive

          changes are not a characteristic finding When

          respiratory bronchiolitis becomes extensive and

          patients have signs and symptoms of ILD use of

          the term RB-ILD has been suggested [180181] The

          exact relationship between RB-ILD and DIP is

          unclear and in smokers these two conditions are

          probably part of a continuous spectrum of disease

          Symptoms of RB-ILD include dyspnea excess

          sputum production and cough [182] Rarely patients

          may be asymptomatic Men are slightly more

          cigarette smoking

          Fig 64 Respiratory bronchiolitis affects the terminal

          airways of smokers and is characterized by delicate fibrous

          bands that radiate from the peribronchiolar connective tissue

          into the surrounding lung Scant peribronchiolar chronic

          inflammation is typically present and brown pigmented

          smokers macrophages are seen in terminal airways and

          peribronchiolar alveoli

          macrophages are present in the airspaces around the

          terminal airways with variable bronchiolar metaplasia

          and more interstitial fibrosis than seen in simple respira-

          tory bronchiolitis

          nature of the disease is important in differentiating RB-

          commonly affected than women and the mean age of

          onset is approximately 36 years (range 22ndash53 years)

          The average pack year smoking history is 32 (range

          7ndash75)

          Most patients with respiratory bronchiolitis alone

          have normal radiologic studies The most common

          findings in RB-ILD include thickening of the

          bronchial walls ground-glass opacities and poorly

          defined centrilobular nodular opacities [183] Be-

          cause most patients with RB-ILD are heavy smokers

          centrilobular emphysema is common

          mented macrophages are present in the airspaces

          around the terminal airways with variable bronchiolar

          metaplasia (Fig 65) Iron stains may reveal delicate

          positive staining within these cells The relatively

          patchy nature of the disease is important in differ-

          entiating RB-ILD from DIP (Fig 66) A spectrum of

          pathologic severity emerges with isolated lesions of

          respiratory bronchiolitis on one end and diffuse

          macrophage accumulation in DIP on the other RB-

          ILD exists somewhere in between The diagnosis of

          RB-ILD should be reserved for situations in which

          respiratory bronchiolitis is prominent with associated

          clinical and pathologic ILD [184] No other cause for

          ILD should be apparent The prognosis is excellent

          and there does not seem to be evidence for pro-

          gression to end-stage fibrosis in the absence of other

          lung disease

          Pulmonary Langerhansrsquo cell histiocytosis

          PLCH (formerly known as pulmonary eosino-

          philic granuloma or pulmonary histiocytosis X) is

          currently recognized as a lung disease strongly

          associated with cigarette smoking Proliferation of

          Langerhansrsquo cells is associated with the formation of

          stellate airway-centered lung scars and cystic change

          in affected individuals The incidence of the disease is

          unknown but it is generally considered to be a rare

          complication of cigarette smoking [185]

          PLCH affects smokers between the ages of 20 and

          40 The most common presenting symptom is cough

          with dyspnea but some patients may be asymptom-

          atic despite chest radiographic abnormalities Chest

          pain fever weight loss and hemoptysis have been

          reported to occur HRCT scan shows nearly patho-

          gnomonic changes including predominately upper

          and middle lung zone nodules and cysts [185186]

          The classic lesion of PLCH is illustrated in

          Fig 67 Characteristically the nodules have a stellate

          shape and are always centered on the bronchioles

          Fig 68 PLCH Immunohistochemistry using antibodies

          directed against S100 protein and CD1a is helpful in

          antibodies directed against S100 protein) (immuno-alkaline

          Immunohistochemistry for S-100 protein and CD1a

          may be used to confirm the diagnosis but this is

          usually unnecessary and even may be confounding in

          late lesions in which Langerhansrsquo cells may be

          sparse and the stellate scar is the diagnostic lesion

          Up to 20 of transbronchial biopsies in patients

          with Langerhansrsquo cell histiocytosis may have diag-

          nostic changes The presence of more than 5

          Langerhansrsquo cells in bronchoalveolar lavage is

          considered diagnostic of Langerhansrsquo cell histiocy-

          tosis in the appropriate clinical setting Unfortunately

          cigarette smokers without Langerhansrsquo cell histiocy-

          tosis also may have increased numbers of Langer-

          hansrsquo cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage

            Infections

            A complete discussion of pulmonary infections

            that produce acute lung injury is beyond the scope of

            this article Bacteria fungi and viruses can produce

            acute lung injury and are the diagnosis of exclusion in

            this setting Viruses are the most common of these

            infections to cause diffuse acute lung injury The

            more common viruses that cause pneumonia and their

            susceptible hosts are presented in Table 3

            Drugs and radiation reactions

            Medications taken orally or by injection may

            produce various lesions within the lung including

            DAD pulmonary edema asthma eosinophilic pneu-

            monia and even advanced fibrosis [56] For many

            drugs acute and chronic forms of toxicity have been

            reported This discussion emphasizes a few reactions

            that classically manifest as acute lung disease and

            highlight those that may produce chronic disease

            Nitrofurantoin

            Nitrofurantoin is an antimicrobial agent used in

            the treatment of urinary tract infections This agent is

            responsible for more cases of pulmonary toxicity than

            any other drug with acute and chronic reactions

            reported [78] Acute reactions are accompanied by

            typically appear within 2 weeks of initiating therapy

            The histopathologic findings are similar to those of

            acute eosinophilic pneumonia Chronic reactions

            occur in a few patients taking the drug and clinical

            manifestations appear after 1 to 6 months of treat-

            ment The chronic cases are more often subjected to

            biopsy and show interstitial inflammation and fibrosis

            accompanied by vascular sclerosis

            Cytotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs

            The most common group of drugs that produces

            acute lung injury includes the antineoplastic agents

            From a clinical standpoint some drugs (eg 5-fluoro-

            uracil vinblastine cytarabine adriamycin thiotepa

            azathioprine) almost never produce pulmonary dis-

            ease With increasing numbers of newer antineo-

            plastic agents being used pulmonary toxicity

            undoubtedly will increase Excellent on-line re-

            sources that provide comprehensive and up-to-date

            lists of these agents are available [9]

            Analgesics

            Heroin [10] methadone propoxyphene and even

            aspirin can produce acute lung reactions [1112]

            Toxicity typically results from overdose and is

            characterized by pulmonary edema sometimes com-

            plicated by aspiration of gastric contents When pill

            binding agents such as talc or microcrystalline

            cellulose are injected with a drug intravenously a

            foreign body giant cell reaction may be seen in lung

            tissue in a characteristic perivascular distribution

            Radiation pneumonitis

            Radiation therapy was a common cause of acute

            lung injury before improved technology and modi-

            fications in dosing were instituted [13] Radiation

            injury can be exacerbated by infection [14] and

            chemotherapeutic drugs [15] Initial clinical signs and

            symptoms often are absent or mild In the acute

            phase chest radiographs and high-resolution CT

            (HRCT) reveal ground-glass opacities or airspace

            consolidation with some loss of lung volume

            Acute eosinophilic lung disease

            Acute lung injury that occurs in the presence of

            significant numbers of tissue eosinophils is referred

            to as lsquolsquoacute eosinophilic lung diseasersquorsquo Peripheral

            blood and bronchoalveolar lavage eosinophils are

            commonly elevated in these conditions Eosinophilia

            may not be persistent throughout the disease and

            eosinophilic vasculitis is not a prerequisite for the

            diagnosis in lung tissue Several forms have been

            described over the years the mildest of which has

            been referred to as Loeffler syndrome or simple

            eosinophilic pneumonia Ascaris infestation was

            documented eventually in the initial series by

            Loeffler which led to the hypothesis that simple

            eosinophilic pneumonia was a manifestation of

            hypersensitivity to Ascaris antigens

            The second form occurs commonly in patients

            with asthma presumably as an allergic manifestation

            to an unknown antigen The clinical course is more

            chronic and typically evolves slowly over many

            months Patients with the lsquolsquochronicrsquorsquo form of eosino-

            philic pneumonia may have a typical clinical syn-

            drome and radiographic appearance [16]

            Finally a dramatic new manifestation of idio-

            pathic eosinophilic lung disease has been described

            that is characterized by rapid onset of breathlessness

            in an otherwise healthy young adult without asthma

            [17] This form may mimic DAD clinically and patho-

            logically even with the presence of hyaline mem-

            branes The importance of recognizing this entity lies

            in its excellent prognosis and characteristic rapid

            response to corticosteroid therapy

            Some other well-recognized associations have

            been described with eosinophilic pneumonia The

            best example is that produced by sensitivity to nitro-

            furantoin and other drugs Eosinophilic pneumonia in

            the presence of asthma may be a manifestation of

            hypersensitivity to aspergillus and other fungal organ-

            isms (eg allergic bronchopulmonary fungal disease)

            The histopathologic features of eosinophilic pneu-

            monia include intra-alveolar eosinophils fibrin and

            plump eosinophilic macrophages surrounded by

            striking reactive type II cell hyperplasia (Fig 9)

            Acute fibrinous pleuritis may occur Eosinophilic

            microabscesses and eosinophilic vasculitis may be

            present but are not necessary for the diagnosis

            Acute pulmonary manifestations of the collagen

            vascular diseases

            The most common acute manifestation of the

            collagen vascular diseases is DAD but diffuse

            pulmonary hemorrhage also occurs The more com-

            mon collagen vascular diseases that produce acute

            Rheumatoid arthritis

            Nearly one-half of all patients with rheumatoid

            arthritis (RA) develop one or more forms of

            rheumatoid lung disease [18] and patients with more

            severe joint involvement are more likely to develop

            pleuropulmonary manifestations Lung disease typi-

            cally follows the development of joint disease but

            occasionally the lung or pleura may herald the

            disease DAD is a well-recognized complication of

            RA [19]

            Systemic lupus erythematosus

            Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) also com-

            monly involves the lungs and pleura [18] Painful

            pleuritis with or without effusion is the most common

            abnormality [20] but acute lupus pneumonitis is a

            potentially disastrous complication with a mortality

            rate of 50 [21] Acute lupus pneumonitis is

            characterized morphologically by DAD Diffuse

            pulmonary hemorrhage also may occur usually

            accompanied by vasculitis and capillaritis (Fig 11)

            Immune complexes may be identified on capillary

            basement membranes in this setting [22]

            Dermatomyositis-polymyositis

            DAD is not common in dermatomyositis-poly-

            myositis but the clinical presentation may be

            particularly dramatic Tazelaar et al [23] presented

            14 patients with dermatomyositis-polymyositis who

            developed lung disease Three patients developed

            DAD all of whom died most frequently in the acute

            episode The authors also reviewed 27 additional

            cases of dermatomyositis-polymyositis lung disease

            reported in the literature and found similar results

            DAD may be the first clinical manifestation of

            dermatomyositis-polymyositis and may precede the

            clinical and serologic diagnosis of the disease by

            many months

            dence of infection Like DAD acute fibrinous and

            organizing pneumonia can be idiopathic or associated

            with several underlying or associated conditions

            such as collagen vascular disease drug reaction

            and occupational exposures Survival is similar to

            DAD in general but the requirement for mechanical

            ventilation was associated with a worse prognosis

            Acute diffuse alveolar hemorrhage

            Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is character-

            ized by a triad of (1) hemoptysis (2) anemia and

            (3) bilateral ground-glass opacities (or consolidation)

            that rapidly wax and wane Hemorrhage and hemo-

            siderin-laden macrophages in alveolar spaces are

            essential to the pathologic diagnosis [25ndash27] In

            practice artifactual hemorrhage can occur commonly

            in lung biopsy specimens Hemosiderin-laden macro-

            phages (with coarsely granular golden-brown refrac-

            tile pigment) always should be present in the alveolar

            spaces before one invokes the diagnosis of DAH

            (Fig 13) The differential diagnosis of DAH is pre-

            sented in Box 4

            Antiglomerular basement membrane disease

            (Goodpasturersquos syndrome)

            When diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage occurs with

            renal disease in the presence of circulating antibodies

            against glomerular basement membranes the con-

            dition is referred to as antiglomerular basement

            membrane disease [28ndash31] Lung biopsy is less

            desirable than kidney as a diagnostic specimen in

            Fig 13 DAH Fresh blood in the lung is not sufficient

            evidence for a diagnosis of DAH Hemosiderin-laden

            macrophages with coarsely granular golden-brown refractile

            pigment always should be present

            antiglomerular basement membrane disease but

            because renal disease is commonly occult at the time

            of presentation the lung is often the first tissue

            sample examined by the pathologist Unfortunately

            the lung findings are relatively nonspecific and

            consist of fresh alveolar hemorrhage hemosiderin

            deposition in macrophages (siderophages) and vari-

            able interstitial inflammation with delicate interstitial

            fibrosis (Fig 14) The presence of capillaritis in the

            alveolar wall is also helpful in distinguishing anti-

            glomerular basement membrane disease from idio-

            pathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) and chronic

            passive lung congestion The results of immunofluo-

            rescent studies on lung tissue are not as reliable as

            they are on kidney tissue [30] and for cost-effective

            practice we generally recommend serologic confir-

            mation (radioimmunoassay or ELISA) even when

            appropriately preserved lung tissue is available

            Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage associated with the

            systemic collagen vascular diseases

            DAH may occur as a consequence of several

            immune-mediated vasculitides including those that

            occur in the setting of collagen vascular disease

            Potential causes of DAH in this setting include

            matosis cryoglobulinemia RA crescentic glomeru-

            lonephritis and scleroderma [25272930] The

            common histopathologic feature is acute capillaritis

            with or without larger vessel vasculitis (Fig 15)

            Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis

            In the absence of renal disease or demonstrable

            immunologic disease DAH has been termed IPH

            disease is acute capillaritis (A) with or without larger vessel vascu

            IPH occurs most commonly in children younger

            than 10 years and young adults in the second and

            third decades of life Anemia is accompanied by

            bilateral areas of consolidation on the chest radio-

            Idiopathic diffuse alveolar damage acute interstitial

            pneumonia

            The term lsquolsquoacute interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo was first

            introduced in 1986 to describe a syndrome of rapidly

            evolving acute respiratory failure that occurred in

            immunocompetent individuals [32] The patients

            described included three men and five women (two

            of whom were pregnant) who developed sudden

            unexplained respiratory failure Six reported a viral-

            like prodrome None of the patients was reported to

            have underlying collagen vascular disease By

            definition acute interstitial pneumonia is of unknown

            cause and is a diagnosis of exclusion The usual

            causes of ARDS must be absent (ie shock sepsis

            trauma aspiration or drug toxicity)

            Surgical lung biopsies show DAD in varying

            stages (Fig 17) The changes observed in biopsy

            specimens depend on the stage at which the biopsy is

            taken and tend to be relatively diffuse throughout the

            specimen Like other forms of DAD the early stages

            show an exudative phase with edema and hyaline

            membranes Bronchioles may show squamous meta-

            plasia that extend peripherally to involve adjacent

            alveolar walls Organizing arterial thrombi were seen

            in five of the seven patients who died in the Kat-

            zenstein series [32] In the last stages fibrosis distorts

            the lung architecture

            Collagen vascular disease or allergic disorders

            may be responsible for many cases of acute inter-

            stitial pneumonia although they may not be clinically

            apparent at the time of presentation acute interstitial

            pneumonia has been formally added to the classi-

            fication of the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias by a

            recent international consensus committee [4]

            Pattern 2 interstitial lung disease dominated by

            fibrosis (typically months to years in evolution)

            A large number of systemic diseases inhalational

            exposures toxins and drugs and even genetic

            disorders are well known to cause scarring in the

            lungs with permanent structural remodeling A list of

            these diseases is presented in Box 5 UIP is the most

            notorious of these diseases and is the diagnosis of

            exclusion for patients over the age of 50 because of

            the dismal prognosis of this idiopathic condition In

            younger patients the systemic connective tissue

            diseases figure prominently as causes of chronic lung

            disease with fibrosis

            Pulmonary fibrosis in the systemic connective tissue

            diseases

            The collagen vascular diseases as a group involve

            the respiratory system frequently Each of these

            diseases may involve the lung and pleura in several

            different ways Although the lung morphologic

            abnormalities are not specific for any one of these

            diseases some features are more commonly mani-

            fested than others in each of them (Table 4) A few of

            the more prominent collagen vascular diseases known

            to produce fibrosis are presented herein

            Rheumatoid arthritis

            The most common thoracic complication of RA is

            pleural disease (effusion or pleuritis) which is seen in

            as much as 50 of patients in autopsy studies

            According to a study by Walker and Wright [33]

            approximately one-third of the patients with pleural

            effusions also have pulmonary manifestations of RA

            in the form of nodules or interstitial disease Nodules

            may be seen in the lung parenchyma and occasionally

            in the walls of airways in persons with RA which

            represents lymphoid hyperplasia with germinal cen-

            ters in most instances (Fig 18) The interstitial

            pneumonia of RA may be cellular with little fibrosis

            (cellular NSIP-like see later discussion) fibrotic with

            honeycomb cystic remodeling (UIP-like see later

            discussion) and occasionally may have a macro-

            phage-rich DIP pattern (discussed in Pattern 4) [19]

            Fig 17 Acute interstitial pneumonia Surgical lung biopsies show diffuse alveolar damage in varying stages In the earliest

            manifestation (A) edema in the alveolar spaces and interstitium is typical with hyaline membranes and preservation of the

            alveolar spaces As the process evolves (2ndash4 days after onset) hyaline membranes become thicker and there is greater cellularity

            in the interstitium as inflammatory cells begin to accrue (B) By the end of the first week (C) alveolar spaces are overwhelmed

            by reparative changes with myofibroblasts that produce an organizing pneumonia pattern Over the next weeks (D) the

            myofibroblasts become incorporated into the interstitium as the best outcome with reconstitution of the alveolar architecture

            Systemic lupus erythematosus

            Similar to RA SLE also commonly involves the

            respiratory system [18] Painful pleuritis with or

            without effusion is the most common abnormality

            [20] Noninfectious organizing pneumonia also has

            been reported and advanced fibrosis with honey-

            comb remodeling occurs (Fig 19) [34]

            Progressive systemic sclerosis

            The most notable feature of lsquolsquoscleroderma lungrsquorsquo

            is the presence of extensive alveolar wall fibrosis

            without much inflammation (Fig 20) [35] Some

            degree of diffuse lung fibrosis occurs in nearly every

            patient with pulmonary involvement [18] Patients

            with longstanding progressive systemic sclerosisndash

            related lung fibrosis are at high risk of developing

            bronchoalveolar carcinoma Vascular sclerosis usu-

            ally without true vasculitis is typical if sufficiently

            severe it produces pulmonary hypertension [36]

            Pleural disease is less common in progressive

            systemic sclerosis than in RA or SLE

            Mixed connective tissue disease

            Mixed connective tissue disease is relatively

            common in producing interstitial pulmonary disease

            or pleural effusions [18] In many cases the

            abnormalities respond well to corticosteroid therapy

            fibrosis does occur A pattern of fibrosis that re-

            sembles the pattern seen in UIP (see later discussion)

            occurs and pulmonary hypertension may occur

            accompanied by plexiform lesions similar to those

            seen in persons with primary pulmonary hyperten-

            sion [37]

            DermatomyositisPolymyositis

            Several forms of ILD have been reported in der-

            matomyositispolymyositis and the histologic find-

            ings seen on biopsy seem to be better predictors of

            prognosis than clinical or radiologic features [23] A

            subacute presentation with a noninfectious organizing

            pneumonia pattern has been associated with the best

            prognosis whereas the worst prognosis has been

            associated with advanced lung fibrosis [23]

            Sjogrenrsquos syndrome

            The common pulmonary lesions of Sjogrenrsquos

            syndrome generally evolve over weeks to months

            and are analogous to the disease manifestations in the

            salivary glands The range of disease patterns in

            Sjogrenrsquos syndrome is broad especially when Sjog-

            renrsquos syndrome is accompanied by other connective

            tissue disease A hallmark of pure Sjogrenrsquos syndrome

            in the lung is marked lymphoreticular infiltrates in

            the submucosal glands of the tracheobronchial tree

            (Fig 21) [18] Patients with Sjogrenrsquos syndrome also

            are at risk for LIP and occasionally develop lympho-

            proliferative disorders that involve the pulmonary

            interstitium ranging from relatively low-grade extra-

            nodal marginal zone lymphoma (MALToma) to a

            high-grade lymphoma Advanced lung fibrosis also

            occurs as pleuropulmonary manifestation in Sjogrenrsquos

            syndrome (Fig 22) [3839]

            Certain chronic drug reactions

            Many drugs are reported to produce lung fibrosis

            among them bleomycin carmustine penicillamine ni-

            trofurantoin tocainide mexiletine amiodarone aza-

            thioprine methotrexate melphalan and mitomycin C

            Unfortunately the list of agents is growing rapidly

            and the reader is referred to on-line resources such

            as wwwpneumotoxcom [188] for continuously

            updated information on reported drug reactions Bleo-

            mycin is presented in this article because it causes sub-

            acute and chronic toxicity and has been used widely

            as an experimental model of pulmonary fibrosis

            Bleomycin

            Bleomycin is an antineoplastic agent that becomes

            concentrated in skin lungs and lymphatic fluid

            Pulmonary lesions may be dose-related [4041] and

            prior radiotherapy seems to predispose to toxicity

            [42] The initial site of injury in experimental models

            seems to be the venous endothelial cell [43] but type I

            cell injury allows fibrin and other serum proteins to

            leak into the alveolus Type II cell hyperplasia occurs

            as a regenerative phenomenon that results in atypical

            enlarged forms and intra-alveolar fibroplasia occurs

            (often in a subpleural distribution) eventually result-

            ing in alveolar septal widening (Fig 23)

            had suffered pneumonia months before their biopsies

            were performed

            Perhaps the most important finding in the Katzen-

            stein and Fiorelli study was that their population of

            patients had morbidity and mortality rates signifi-

            cantly different from that of UIP in which reported

            mortality figures were more in the range of 90 with

            median survival in the range of 3 years Only 5 of 48

            patients with clinical follow-up died of progressive

            lung disease (11) whereas 39 patients either

            recovered or were alive with stable lung disease

            For the patients with follow-up no deaths were

            reported in group I patients whereas 3 patients from

            group II and 2 patients from group III died

            Unfortunately a significant number of patients were

            lost to follow-up and mean lengths of follow-up

            varied Since 1994 there have been several additional

            reported series of patients with NSIP [54ndash61] with

            variable reported survival rates (Table 5) Deaths

            occurred in patients with NSIP who had fibrosis

            (groups II and III) analogous to results reported by

            Katzenstein and Fiorelli Nagai et al [58] restricted

            the scope of NSIP to patients with idiopathic disease

            primarily by excluding patients with known collagen

            ported in the series by Travis et al [61] in which 9 of

            22 patients (41) died with group II and III disease

            Idiopathic usual interstitial pneumonia (cryptogenic

            fibrosing alveolitis)

            UIP is a chronic diffuse lung disease of

            unknown origin characterized by a progressive

            tendency to produce fibrosis UIP has had many

            names over the years including chronic Hamman-

            fibrosis According to Liebow UIP was idiopathic

            in approximately half of the patients originally

            studied In the other half the disease was lsquolsquohetero-

            geneous in terms of structure and causationrsquorsquo [3]

            Currently UIP has been restricted to a subset of the

            broad and heterogeneous group of diseases initially

            encompassed by this term [114]

            UIP is a disease of older individuals typically

            older than 50 years [62] Men are slightly more

            commonly affected than women Characteristic clini-

            cal findings include distinctive end-inspiratory

            crackles (lsquolsquoVelcro cracklesrsquorsquo) at the lung bases and

            the eventual development of lung fibrosis with cor

            pulmonale Clubbing occurs commonly with the

            disease Many patients die of respiratory failure

            The average duration of symptoms in one series was

            ules which further adds to the distinctive low magnification

            adjacent to thin and delicate alveolar septa Fibroblast foci

            Fig 30 Cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis The renowned fibroblast focus (A) is not unique to cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis but

            is distinctive and occurs at the interface between dense peripheral fibrosis and more normal lung centrally in the lobule Another

            consistent finding seen even in early examples of cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis is microscopic honeycombing (B) This focus

            was presumably an intact lobule once but was replaced by cysts partially filled with mucus No alveoli remain

            3 years [3] and the mean survival after diagnosis has

            been reported as 42 years in a population-based

            study [63] Different from other chronic inflamma-

            tory lung diseases immunosuppressive therapy im-

            proves neither survival nor quality of life for patients

            with UIP [62]

            HRCT has added a new dimension to the diagnosis

            of UIP The abnormalities are most prominent at the

            periphery of the lungs and in the lung bases

            regardless of the stage [64] Irregular linear opacities

            result in a reticular pattern [64] Advanced lung

            remodeling with cyst formation (honeycombing) is

            seen in approximately 90 of patients at presentation

            [65] Ground-glass opacities can be seen in approxi-

            mately 80 of cases of UIP but are seldom extensive

            The gross examination of the lung often reveals a

            characteristic nodular external surface (Fig 29)

            Histopathologically UIP is best envisioned as a

            smoldering alveolitis of unknown cause accompanied

            by microscopic foci of injury repair and lung

            remodeling with dense fibrosis The disease begins

            at the periphery of the pulmonary lobule and has a

            consistent tendency to leave lung fibrosis and honey-

            comb cystic lung remodeling in its wake as it

            progresses from the periphery to the center of the

            lobule (Fig 30) This transition from dense fibrosis

            with or without honeycombing to near normal lung

            through an intermediate stage of alveolar organization

            and inflammation is the histologic hallmark of so-

            called lsquolsquotemporal heterogeneityrsquorsquo Thick irregular

            bundles of smooth muscle typically are present within

            areas of fibrosis (Fig 31) presumably arising as a

            consequence of progressive parenchymal collapse

            with incorporation of native airway and vascular

            smooth muscle into fibrosis Less well-recognized

            additional features of UIP are distortion and narrow-

            ing of bronchioles together with peribronchiolar

            fibrosis and inflammation This observation likely

            accounts for the functional evidence of small airway

            obstruction that may be found in UIP [66] Wide-

            spread bronchial dilation (traction bronchiectasis)

            may be present at postmortem examination in ad-

            vanced disease and is evident on HRCT late in the

            course of IPF

            Acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

            Episodes of clinical deterioration are expected in

            patients with UIP Although lsquolsquorespiratory failurersquorsquo is

            the cause of death in approximately one half of

            affected individuals for a small subset death is

            sudden after acute respiratory failure This manifes-

            tation of the disease has been termed lsquolsquoacute exa-

            cerbation of IPFrsquorsquo when no infectious cause is

            identified The typical history is that of a patient

            being followed for IPF who suddenly develops acute

            respiratory distress that often is accompanied by

            fever elevation of the sedimentation rate marked

            increase in dyspnea and new infiltrates that often

            have an lsquolsquoalveolarrsquorsquo character radiologically For

            many years this manifestation was believed to be

            infectious pneumonia (possibly viral) superimposed

            on a fibrotic lung with marginal reserve Because

            cases are sufficiently common organisms are rarely

            identified and a small percentage of patients respond

            to pulse systemic corticosteroid therapy many inves-

            tigators consider such exacerbation to be a form of

            fulminant progression of the disease process itself

            Overall acute exacerbation has a poor prognosis and

            death within 1 week is not unusual Pathologically

            acute lung injury that resembles DAD or organizing

            pneumonia is superimposed on a background of

            peripherally accentuated lobular fibrosis with honey-

            combing This latter finding can be highlighted in

            tissue sections using the Masson trichrome stain for

            collagen (Fig 32) That acute exacerbation is a real

            phenomenon in IPF is underscored by the results of a

            recent large randomized trial of human recombinant

            interferon gamma 1b in IPF In this study of patients

            Pattern 3 interstitial lung diseases dominated by

            interstitial mononuclear cells (chronic

            inflammation)

            The most classic manifestation of ILD is em-

            bodied in this pattern in which mononuclear in-

            flammatory cells (eg lymphocytes plasma cells and

            histiocytes) distend the interstitium of the alveolar

            walls The pattern is common and has several

            associated conditions (Box 6)

            Hypersensitivity pneumonitis

            Lung disease can result from inhalation of various

            organic antigens In most of these exposures the

            disease is immunologically mediated presumably

            through a type III hypersensitivity reaction although

            the immunologic mechanisms have not been well

            documented in all conditions [68] The prototypic

            example is so-called lsquolsquofarmerrsquos lungrsquorsquo which is

            caused by hypersensitivity to thermophilic actino-

            mycetes (Micromonospora vulgaris and Thermophyl-

            liae polyspora) that grow in moldy hay

            The radiologic appearance depends on the stage of

            the disease In the acute stage airspace consolidation

            is the dominant feature In the subacute stage there is

            a fine nodular pattern or ground-glass opacification

            [69] The chronic phase is characterized by irregular

            The classic histologic features of hypersensitivity

            pneumonia are presented in Table 6 Because biopsy

            is typically performed in the subacute phase the

            picture is usually one of a chronic inflammatory

            interstitial infiltrate with lymphocytes and variable

            numbers of plasma cells Lung structure is preserved

            and alveoli usually can be distinguished A few

            scattered poorly formed granulomas are seen in the

            interstitium (Fig 33) The epithelioid cells in the

            lsquolsquogranulomasrsquorsquo are loosely aggregated and mixed with

            lymphocytes Characteristically scattered giant cells

            of the foreign body type are seen around terminal

            airways and may contain cleft-like spaces or small

            particles that are doubly refractile (Fig 34) Terminal

            airways display chronic inflammation of their walls

            (bronchiolitis) often with destruction distortion and

            even occlusion Pale or lightly eosinophilic vacuo-

            lated macrophages are typically found in alveolar

            spaces and are a common sign of bronchiolar

            obstruction Similar macrophages also are seen within

            alveolar walls

            was not identified in 37 of patients who had

            unequivocal evidence of hypersensitivity pneumo-

            nitis on biopsy [71] even with careful retrospective

            search [72] As the condition becomes more chronic

            there is progressive distortion of the lung architecture

            by fibrosis and microscopic honeycombing occa-

            Drug reactions

            Methotrexate

            Methotrexate seems to manifest pulmonary tox-

            icity through a hypersensitivity reaction [75] There

            does not seem to be a dose relationship to toxicity

            although intravenous administration has been shown

            to be associated with more toxic effects Symptoms

            typically begin with a cough that occurs within the

            first 3 months after administration and is accompanied

            by fever malaise and progressive breathlessness

            Peripheral eosinophilia occurs in a significant number

            of patients who develop toxicity A chronic interstitial

            infiltrate is observed in lung tissue with lymphocytes

            plasma cells and a few eosinophils (Fig 36) Poorly

            formed granulomas without necrosis may be seen and

            scattered multinucleated giant cells are common

            (Fig 37) Symptoms gradually abate after the drug

            is withdrawn [76] but systemic corticosteroids also

            have been used successfully

            Amiodarone

            Amiodarone is an effective agent used in the

            setting of refractory cardiac arrhythmias It is

            estimated that pulmonary toxicity occurs in 5 to

            10 of patients who take this medication and older

            patients seem to be at greater risk Toxicity is

            heralded by slowly progressive dyspnea and dry

            cough that usually occurs within months of initiating

            therapy In some patients the onset of disease may

            characteristic histopathologic findings are a chronic cellular

            rotizing granulomas that seemingly spill out of the terminal

            mimic infectious pneumonia [77ndash80] Diffuse infil-

            trates may be present on HRCT scans but basalar and

            peripherally accentuated high attenuation opacities

            and nonspecific infiltrates are described [8182]

            Amiodarone toxicity produces a cellular interstitial

            pneumonia associated with prominent intra-alveolar

            macrophages whose cytoplasm shows fine vacuola-

            tion [7783ndash85] This vacuolation is also present in

            adjacent reactive type 2 pneumocytes Characteristic

            lamellar cytoplasmic inclusions are present ultra-

            structurally [86] Unfortunately these cytoplasmic

            changes are an expected manifestation of the drug so

            their presence is not sufficient to warrant a diagnosis

            of amiodarone toxicity [83] Pleural inflammation

            and pleural effusion have been reported [87] Some

            patients with amiodarone toxicity develop an orga-

            necrosis may be seen and scattered multinucleated giant

            cells are common

            nizing pneumonia pattern or even DAD [838889]

            Most patients who develop pulmonary toxicity

            related to amiodarone recover once the drug is dis-

            continued [777883ndash85]

            Idiopathic lymphoid interstitial pneumonia

            LIP is a clinical pathologic entity that fits

            descriptively within the chronic interstitial pneumo-

            nias By consensus LIP has been included in the

            current classification of the idiopathic interstitial

            pneumonias despite decades of controversy about

            what diseases are encompassed by this term In 1969

            Liebow and Carrington [3] briefly presented a group

            of patients and used the term LIP to describe their

            biopsy findings The defining criteria were morphol-

            ogic and included lsquolsquoan exquisitely interstitial infil-

            tratersquorsquo that was described as generally polymorphous

            and consisted of lymphocytes plasma cells and large

            mononuclear cells (Fig 38) Several associated

            clinical conditions have been described including

            connective tissue diseases bone marrow transplanta-

            tion acquired and congenital immunodeficiency

            syndromes and diffuse lymphoid hyperplasia of the

            intestine This disease is considered idiopathic only

            when a cause or association cannot be identified

            The idiopathic form of LIP occurs most com-

            monly between the ages of 50 and 70 but children

            may be affected Women are more commonly

            affected than men Cough dyspnea and progressive

            shortness of breath occur and often are accompanied

            by weight loss fever and adenopathy Dysproteine-

            LIP was characterized by dense inflammation accompanied

            by variable fibrosis at scanning magnification Multi-

            nucleated giant cells small granulomas and cysts may

            be present

            Fig 39 LIP The histopathologic hallmarks of the LIP

            pattern include lsquolsquoan exquisitely interstitial infiltratersquorsquo that

            must be proven to be polymorphous (not clonal) and consists

            of lymphocytes plasma cells and large mononuclear cells

            Fig 40 Pattern 4 alveolar filling neutrophils When

            neutrophils fill the alveolar spaces the disease is usually

            acute clinically and bacterial pneumonia leads the differ-

            ential diagnosis Neutrophils are accompanied by necrosis

            is reported and pulmonary function studies show

            restriction with abnormal gas exchange The pre-

            dominant HRCT finding is ground-glass opacifica-

            tion [90] although thickening of the bronchovascular

            bundles and thin-walled cysts may be seen [90]

            LIP is best thought of as a histopathologic pattern

            rather than a diagnosis because LIP as proposed

            initially has morphologic features that are difficult to

            separate accurately from other lymphoplasmacellular

            interstitial infiltrates including low-grade lymphomas

            of extranodal marginal zone type (maltoma) The LIP

            pattern requires clinical and laboratory correlation for

            accurate assessment similar to organizing pneumo-

            nia NSIP and DIP The histopathologic hallmarks of

            the LIP pattern include diffuse interstitial infiltration

            by lymphocytes plasmacytoid lymphocytes plasma

            cells and histiocytes (Fig 39) Giant cells and small

            granulomas may be present [91] Honeycombing with

            interstitial fibrosis can occur Immunophenotyping

            shows lack of clonality in the lymphoid infiltrate

            When LIP accompanies HIV infection a wide age

            range occurs and it is commonly found in children

            [92ndash95] These HIV-infected patients have the same

            nonspecific respiratory symptoms but weight loss is

            more common Other features of HIV and AIDS

            such as lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly

            are also more common Mean survival is worse than

            that of LIP alone with adults living an average of

            14 months and children an average of 32 months

            [96] The morphology of LIP with or without HIV

            is similar

            Pattern 4 interstitial lung diseases dominated by

            airspace filling

            A significant number of ILDs are attended or

            dominated by the presence of material filling the

            alveolar spaces Depending on the composition of

            this airspace filling process a narrow differential

            diagnosis typically emerges The prototype for the

            airspace filling pattern is organizing pneumonia in

            which immature fibroblasts (myofibroblasts) form

            polypoid growths within the terminal airways and

            alveoli Organizing pneumonia is a common and

            nonspecific reaction to lung injury Other material

            also can occur in the airspaces such as neutrophils in

            the case of bacterial pneumonia proteinaceous

            material in alveolar proteinosis and even bone in

            so-called lsquolsquoracemosersquorsquo or dendritic calcification

            Neutrophils

            When neutrophils fill the alveolar spaces the

            disease is usually acute clinically and bacterial

            pneumonia leads the differential diagnosis (Fig 40)

            Rarely immunologically mediated pulmonary hem-

            orrhage can be associated with brisk episodes of

            neutrophilic capillaritis these cells can shed into the

            alveolar spaces and mimic bronchopneumonia

            Organizing pneumonia

            When fibroblasts fill the alveolar spaces the

            appropriate pathologic term is lsquolsquoorganizing pneumo-

            KO Leslie Clin Chest Med 25 (2004) 657ndash703 683

            niarsquorsquo although many clinicians believe that this is an

            automatic indictment of infection Unfortunately the

            lung has a limited capacity for repair after any injury

            and organizing pneumonia often is a part of this

            process regardless of the exact mechanism of injury

            The more generic term lsquolsquoairspace organizationrsquorsquo is

            preferable but longstanding habits are hard to

            change Some of the more common causes of the

            organizing pneumonia pattern are presented in Box 7

            One particular form of diffuse lung disease is

            characterized by airspace organization and is idio-

            pathic This clinicopathologic condition was previ-

            ously referred to as lsquolsquoidiopathic bronchiolitis obliterans

            organizing pneumoniarsquorsquo (idiopathic BOOP) The name

            of this disorder recently was changed to COP

            Idiopathic cryptogenic organizing pneumonia

            In 1983 Davison et al [97] described a group of

            patients with COP and 2 years later Epler et al [98]

            described similar cases as idiopathic BOOP The pro-

            cess described in these series is believed to be the

            same [1] as those cases described by Liebow and

            Carrington in 1969 as lsquolsquoidiopathic bronchiolitis oblit-

            sonable consensus has emerged regarding what is

            being called COP [97ndash100] King and Mortensen

            [101] recently compiled the findings from 4 major

            case series reported from North America adding 18

            of their own cases (112 cases in all) Based on

            these compiled data the following description of

            COP emerges

            The evolution of clinical symptoms is subacute

            (4 months on average and 3 months in most) and

            follows a flu-like illness in 40 of cases The average

            age at presentation is 58 years (range 21ndash80 years)

            and there is no sex predominance Dyspnea and

            cough are present in half the patients Fever is

            common and leukocytosis occurs in approximately

            one fourth The erythrocyte sedimentation rate is

            typically elevated [102] Clubbing is rare Restrictive

            lung disease is present in approximately half of the

            patients with COP and the diffusing capacity is

            reduced in most Airflow obstruction is mild and

            typically affects patients who are smokers

            Chest radiographs show patchy bilateral (some-

            times unilateral) nonsegmental airspace consolidation

            [103] which may be migratory and similar to those of

            eosinophilic pneumonia Reticulation may be seen in

            10 to 40 of patients but rarely is predominant

            [103104] The most characteristic HRCT features of

            COP are patchy unilateral or bilateral areas of

            consolidation which have a predominantly peribron-

            chial or subpleural distribution (or both) in approxi-

            mately 60 of cases In 30 to 50 of cases small

            ill-defined nodules (3ndash10 mm in diameter) are seen

            [105ndash108] and a reticular pattern is seen in 10 to

            30 of cases

            The major histopathologic feature of COP is

            alveolar space organization (so-called lsquolsquoMasson

            bodiesrsquorsquo) but it also extends to involve alveolar ducts

            and respiratory bronchioles in which the process has

            a characteristic polypoid and fibromyxoid appearance

            (Fig 41) The parenchymal involvement tends to be

            patchy All of the organization seems to be recent

            Unfortunately the term BOOP has become one of the

            most commonly misused descriptions in lung pathol-

            ogy much to the dismay of clinicians Pathologists

            use the term to describe nonspecific organization that

            occurs in alveolar ducts and alveolar spaces of lung

            biopsies Clinicians hear the term BOOP or BOOP

            pattern and often interpret this as a clinical diagnosis

            of idiopathic BOOP Because of this misuse there is a

            growing consensus [101109] regarding use of the

            term COP to describe the clinicopathologic entity for

            the following reasons (1) Although COP is primarily

            an organizing pneumonia in up to 30 or more of

            cases granulation tissue is not present in membra-

            nous bronchioles and at times may not even be seen

            in respiratory bronchioles [97] (2) The term lsquolsquobron-

            chiolitis obliteransrsquorsquo has been used in so many

            different ways that it has become a highly ambiguous

            term (3) Bronchiolitis generally produces obstruction

            to airflow and COP is primarily characterized by a

            restrictive defect

            The expected prognosis of COP is relatively good

            In 63 of affected patients the condition resolves

            mainly as a response to systemic corticosteroids

            Twelve percent die typically in approximately

            3 months The disease persists in the remaining sub-

            set or relapses if steroids are tapered too quickly

            Patients with COP who fare poorly frequently have

            comorbid disorders such as connective tissue disease

            or thyroiditis or have been taking nitrofurantoin

            [110] A recent study showed that the presence of

            reticular opacities in a patient with COP portended

            a worse prognosis [111]

            Macrophages

            Macrophages are an integral part of the lungrsquos

            defense system These cells are migratory and

            generally do not accumulate in the lung to a

            significant degree in the absence of obstruction of

            the airways or other pathology In smokers dusty

            brown macrophages tend to accumulate around the

            terminal airways and peribronchiolar alveolar spaces

            and in association with interstitial fibrosis The

            cigarette smokingndashrelated airway disease known as

            respiratory bronchiolitisndashassociated ILD is discussed

            later in this article with the smoking-related ILDs

            Beyond smoking some infectious diseases are

            characterized by a prominent alveolar macrophage

            reaction such as the malacoplakia-like reaction to

            Rhodococcus equi infection in the immunocompro-

            mised host or the mucoid pneumonia reaction to

            cryptococcal pneumonia Conditions associated with

            a DIP-like reaction are presented in Box 8

            Eosinophilic pneumonia

            Acute eosinophilic pneumonia was discussed

            earlier with the acute ILDs but the acute and chronic

            forms of eosinophilic pneumonia often are accom-

            panied by a striking macrophage reaction in the

            airspaces Different from the macrophages in a

            patient with smoking-related macrophage accumula-

            tion the macrophages of eosinophilic pneumonia

            tend to have a brightly eosinophilic appearance and

            are plump with dense cytoplasm Multinucleated

            forms may occur and the macrophages may aggre-

            gate in sufficient density to suggest granulomas in the

            alveolar spaces When this occurs a careful search

            for eosinophils in the alveolar spaces and reactive

            diffuse lung diseases that differed in many respects

            from UIP The striking histologic feature was the pre-

            sence of numerous cells filling the airspaces Liebow

            et al believed that the cells were chiefly desquamated

            alveolar epithelial lining cells and coined the term

            lsquolsquodesquamative interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo It is currently

            known that these cells are predominately macro-

            phages however [113] DIP and the cigarette smok-

            ingndashrelated disease known as RB-ILD are believed to

            be similar if not identical diseases possibly repre-

            senting different expressions of disease severity [115]

            RB-ILD is discussed later in this article in the section

            on smoking-related diffuse lung disease

            The patients described by Liebow et al [112] were

            on average slightly younger than patients with UIP

            and their symptoms were usually milder Clubbing

            was uncommon but in later series some patients with

            clubbing were identified [4] Most patients have a

            subacute lung disease of weeks to months of evo-

            lution The predominant finding on the radiograph and

            HRCT in patients with DIP consists of ground-glass

            opacities particularly at the bases and at the costo-

            phrenic angles [115] Some patients have mild reticu-

            lar changes superimposed on ground-glass opacities

            In lung biopsy the scanning magnification

            appearance of DIP is striking (Fig 42) The alveolar

            spaces are filled with lightly pigmented (brown)

            macrophages and multinucleated cells are commonly

            Fig 42 DIP The scanning magnification appearance of DIP is strik

            (brown) macrophages and multinucleated cells are commonly pre

            present Additional important features include the

            relative preservation of lung architecture with only

            mild thickening of alveolar walls and absence of

            severe fibrosis or honeycombing [116ndash118] Inter-

            stitial mononuclear inflammation is seen sometimes

            with scattered lymphoid follicles The histologic

            appearance of DIP is not specific It is commonly

            present in other diffuse and localized lung diseases

            including UIP asbestosis [119] and other dust-

            related diseases [120] DIP-like reactions occur after

            nitrofurantoin therapy [121122] and in alveolar

            spaces adjacent to the nodules of PLCH (see later

            section on smoking-related diseases)

            Cases have been reported in which classic DIP

            lsquolsquoprogressed to fibrosing alveolitisrsquorsquo [117123] It

            seems clear that DIP represents a nonspecific reaction

            and more commonly occurs in smokers It is critical

            to distinguish between DIP and UIP especially

            because these diseases are regarded as different from

            one another Research has shown conclusively that

            the clinical features are different the prognosis is

            much better in DIP and DIP may respond to

            corticosteroid administration [124] whereas UIP

            does not [62]

            Proteinaceous material

            When eosinophilic material fills the alveolar

            spaces the differential diagnosis includes pulmonary

            edema and alveolar proteinosis

            Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis

            PAP (alveolar lipoproteinosis) is a rare diffuse

            lung disease characterized by the intra-alveolar

            ing (A) The alveolar spaces are filled with lightly pigmented

            sent (B)

            accumulation of lipid-rich eosinophilic material

            [125] PAP likely occurs as a result of overproduction

            of surfactant by type II cells impaired clearance of

            surfactant by alveolar macrophages or a combination

            of these mechanisms The disease can occur as an

            idiopathic form but also occurs in the settings of

            occupational disease (especially dust-related) drug-

            induced injury hematologic diseases and in many

            settings of immunodeficiency [125ndash128] PAP is

            commonly associated with exposure to inhaled

            crystalline material and silica although other sub-

            stances have been implicated [126] The idiopathic

            form is the most common presentation with a male

            predominance and an age range of 30 to 50 years

            The usual presenting symptom is insidious dyspnea

            sometimes with cough [129] although the clinical

            symptoms are often less dramatic than the radio-

            logic abnormalities

            Chest radiographs show extensive bilateral air-

            space consolidation that involves mainly the perihilar

            regions CT demonstrates what seems to be smooth

            thickening of lobular septa that is not seen on the

            chest radiograph The thickening of lobular septae

            within areas of ground-glass attenuation is character-

            istic of alveolar proteinosis on CT and is referred to as

            lsquolsquocrazy pavingrsquorsquo [130] The areas of ground-glass

            attenuation and consolidation are often sharply

            demarcated from the surrounding normal lung with-

            out an apparent anatomic correlation [130ndash132]

            Histopathologically the scanning magnification

            appearance is distinctive if not diagnostic Pink

            granular material fills the airspaces often with a

            rim of retraction that separates the alveolar wall

            slightly from the exudate (Fig 43) Embedded

            clumps of dense globular granules and cholesterol

            clefts are seen (Fig 44) The periodic-acid Schiff

            PAP often with a rim of retraction that separates the alveolar

            wall slightly from the exudate

            stain reveals a diastase-resistant positive reaction in

            the proteinaceous material of PAP Dramatic inflam-

            matory changes should suggest comorbid infection

            The idiopathic form of PAP has an excellent

            prognosis Many patients are only mildly symptom-

            atic In patients with severe dyspnea and hypoxemia

            treatment can be accomplished with one or more

            sessions of whole lung lavage which usually induces

            remission and excellent long-term survival [133]

            Pattern 5 interstitial lung diseases dominated by

            nodules

            Some ILDs are dominated by or significantly

            associated with nodules For most of the diffuse

            ILDs the nodules are small and appreciated best

            under the microscope In some instances nodules

            may be sufficiently large and diffuse in distribution

            that they are identified on HRCT In others cases a

            few large nodules may be present in two or more

            lobes or bilaterally (eg Wegener granulomatosis) For

            neoplasms that diffusely involve the lung the nodular

            pattern is overwhelmingly represented (eg lymphan-

            gitic carcinomatosis) The differential diagnosis of the

            nodular pattern is presented in Box 9

            produces well-formed granulomas Hypersensitivity

            pneumonia is discussed under Pattern 3 because the

            pattern is more one of cellular chronic interstitial

            pneumonia with granulomas being subtle

            Granulomatous infection

            Most nodular granulomatous reactions in the lung

            are of infectious origin until proven otherwise

            especially in the presence of necrosis The infectious

            diseases that characteristically produce well-formed

            granulomas are typically caused by mycobacteria

            fungi and rarely bacteria Sometimes Pneumocystis

            infection produces a nodular pattern A list of the

            diffuse lung diseases associated with granulomas is

            presented in Box 10

            Sarcoidosis

            Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease

            of uncertain origin The disease commonly affects the

            lungs [134135] The origin pathogenesis and

            epidemiology of sarcoidosis suggest that it is a

            disorder of immune regulation [136ndash138] The

            observation that sarcoid granulomas recur after lung

            transplantation [139ndash141] seems to underscore fur-

            ther the notion that this is an acquired systemic

            abnormality of immunity It also emphasizes the fact

            that even profound immunosuppression (such as that

            used in transplantation) may be ineffective in halting

            disease progression for the subset whose condition

            persists and progresses to lung fibrosis

            Sarcoidosis occurs most frequently in young

            adults but has been described in all ages There is a

            decreased incidence of sarcoidosis in cigarette smok-

            ers Many patients with intrathoracic sarcoidosis are

            symptom free Systemic manifestations may be

            identified (in decreasing frequency) in lymph nodes

            eyes liver skin spleen salivary glands bone heart

            and kidneys Breathlessness is the most common

            pulmonary symptom

            The chest radiographic appearance is often char-

            acteristic with a combination of symmetrical bilateral

            hilar and paratracheal lymph node enlargement

            together with a varied pattern of parenchymal

            involvement including linear nodular and ground-

            glass opacities [142] In approximately 25 of the

            patients the radiographic appearance is atypical and

            in approximately 10 it is normal [143] Staging of

            the disease is based on pattern of involvement on

            plain chest radiographs only [135142]

            The histopathologic hallmark of sarcoidosis is the

            presence of well-formed granulomas without necrosis

            (Fig 45) Granulomas are classically distributed

            along lymphatic channels of the bronchovascular

            bundles interlobular septa and pleura (Fig 46) The

            area between granulomas is frequently sclerotic and

            adjacent small granulomas tend to coalesce into larger

            nodules Because of involvement of the broncho-

            vascular bundles and the characteristic histology

            sarcoidosis is one of the few diffuse lung diseases

            that can be diagnosed with a high degree of success

            by transbronchial biopsy (Fig 47) [144] Although

            necrosis is not a feature of the disease sometimes

            bifurcation of a bronchiole which makes it an excellent

            target for biopsy

            the center of the granulomas The lsquolsquodirtyrsquorsquo necrosis so

            typical of mycobacterial and fungal disease granu-

            lomas is not seen Distinctive inclusions may be

            present within giant cells in the granulomas such as

            asteroid and Schaumannrsquos bodies (Fig 48) but these

            can be seen in other granulomatous diseases There

            is a generally held belief that a mild interstitial inflam-

            matory infiltrate accompanies granulomas in sar-

            coidosis [145ndash147] If this lsquolsquointerstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo

            of sarcoidosis exists it is subtle in the best example

            and consists of a few lymphocytes mononuclear

            cells and macrophages

            The prognosis for patients with sarcoidosis is

            excellent The disease typically resolves or improves

            factory workers The use of beryllium in this industry

            was discontinued but because of berylliumrsquos remark-

            able structural characteristics it continues to be used

            in metallic alloy and oxide forms in numerous

            industries Berylliosis may occur as acute and chronic

            forms The acute disease is usually seen in refinery

            olitis seen almost exclusively in people of East

            Asian descent (ie Japan Korea China) Diffuse

            panbronchiolitis may occur rarely in individuals in

            the United States [151ndash153] and in patients of non-

            Severe chronic inflammation is centered on

            respiratory bronchioles early in the disease followed

            (Fig 50) The characteristic and nearly diagnostic

            feature of diffuse panbronchiolitis is the accumulation

            of many pale vacuolated macrophages in the walls

            and lumens of respiratory bronchioles and in adjacent

            airspaces (Fig 51) Japanese investigators suspect

            that the condition occurs in the United States and has

            been underrecognized This view was substantiated

            carcinoma that involves the lung primarily within

            lymphatics The disease produces a miliary nodular

            pattern at scanning magnification Lymphangitic

            carcinoma is typically adenocarcinoma The most

            common sites of origin are breast lung and stomach

            mediastinal lymph node enlargement [154] The

            HRCT findings are highly characteristic and accu-

            rately reflect the microscopic distribution in this

            disease with uneven thickening of the bronchovas-

            cular bundles and lobular septa which gives them a

            beaded appearance [155156]

            Histopathologically malignant tumor cells are

            typically present in small aggregates within lym-

            phatic channels of the bronchovascular sheath and

            pleura (Fig 52) Variable amounts of tumor may be

            present throughout the lung in the interstitium of the

            alveolar walls in the airspaces and in small muscular

            pulmonary arteries This latter finding (microangio-

            pathic obliterative endarteritis) may be the origin of

            the edema inflammation and interstitial fibrosis that

            frequently accompany the disease and likely accounts

            for the clinical and radiologic impression of nonneo-

            plastic diffuse lung disease [154157]

            Pattern 6 interstitial lung disease with subtle

            findings in surgical biopsies (chronic evolution)

            A limited differential diagnosis is invoked by the

            relative absence of abnormalities in a surgical lung

            biopsy (Box 11) Three main categories of disease

            emerge in this setting (1) diseases of the small

            Fig 53 Rheumatoid bronchiolitis In this example of

            rheumatoid bronchiolitis complex bronchiolar metaplasia

            involves a membranous bronchiole accompanied by fol-

            licular bronchiolitis Small rheumatoid nodules (similar to

            those that occur around the joints) also can be seen

            occasionally in the walls of airways which results in partial

            or total occlusion

            airways (eg constrictive bronchiolitis) (2) vasculo-

            pathic conditions (eg pulmonary hypertension) and

            (3) two diseases that may be dominated by cysts the

            rare disease known as LAM and PLCH in the in-

            active or healed phase of the disease All of these may

            be dramatic in biopsy specimens but when con-

            fronted with the lsquolsquonearly normalrsquorsquo lung biopsy in a pa-

            tient with significant clinical disease these three

            groups of diseases dominate the differential diagnosis

            Small airways disease and constrictive bronchiolitis

            Obliteration of the small membranous bronchioles

            can occur as a result of infection toxic inhalational

            exposure drugs systemic connective tissue diseases

            and as an idiopathic form Outside of the setting of

            lung transplantation in which so-called lsquolsquobronchio-

            litis obliteransrsquorsquo (having histopathology similar to

            constrictive bronchiolitis) occurs as a chronic mani-

            festation of organ rejection the diagnosis presents a

            challenge for pulmonologists and pathologists alike

            In this section we present a few recognized forms of

            nonndashtransplant-associated constrictive bronchiolitis

            Irritants and infections

            Many irritant gases can produce severe bronchi-

            olitis This inflammatory injury may be followed by

            the accumulation of loose granulation tissue and

            finally by complete stenosis and occlusion of the

            airways The best known of these agents are nitrogen

            dioxide [158] sulfur dioxide [159] and ammonia

            [160] Viral infection also can cause permanent

            bronchiolar injury particularly adenovirus infection

            [161] Mycoplasma pneumonia is also cited as a

            potential cause [162] The course of events is similar

            to that for the toxic gases Variable degrees of

            bronchiectasis or bronchioloectasis may occur sec-

            ondarily up- and downstream from the area of

            occlusion Lung biopsy is performed rarely and then

            usually because the patient is young and unusual

            airflow obstruction is present Occasionally mixed

            obstruction and restriction may occur presumably on

            the basis of diffuse peribronchiolar scarring This

            airway-associated scarring may produce CT findings

            of lsquolsquointerstitialrsquorsquo disease The airway lesions are subtle

            but can be recognized by variable reduction in

            bronchiolar luminal diameter compared with the

            adjacent pulmonary artery branch (Normally these

            should be roughly equal in diameter when viewed

            as cross-sections) The diagnosis depends on careful

            clinical correlation and sometimes the addition of a

            comparison between inspiratory and expiratory

            HRCT scans which typically shows prominent

            mosaic air trapping

            Rheumatoid bronchiolitis

            Patients with RA may develop constrictive bron-

            chiolitis as a consequence of their disease In some

            patients small rheumatoid nodules can be seen in the

            walls of airways which results in their partial or total

            occlusion (Fig 53) From a practical point of view

            the lesions are focal within the airways often in small

            bronchi and may not be visualized easily in the

            biopsy specimen Because of the widespread recog-

            nition of rheumatoid bronchiolitis biopsy is rarely

            performed in these patients Morphologically scat-

            tered occlusion of small bronchi and bronchioles is

            observed and is associated with the presence of loose

            connective tissue in their lumens

            Neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia with occlusive

            bronchiolar fibrosis

            In 1992 Aguayo et al [163] reported six patients

            with moderate chronic airflow obstruction all of

            whom never smoked Diffuse neuroendocrine cell

            hyperplasia of the bronchioles associated with partial

            or total occlusion of airway lumens by fibrous tissue

            was present in all six patients (Fig 54) Three of the

            patients also had peripheral carcinoid tumors and

            three had progressive dyspnea

            In a study of 25 peripheral carcinoid tumors that

            occurred in smokers and nonsmokers Miller and

            Muller [164] identified 19 patients (76) with

            neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of the airways which

            occurred mostly in bronchioles Eight patients (32)

            bronchioles associated with partial or total occlusion of airway lumens by fibrous tissue is a rare cause of unexplained airflow

            Fig 55 Cryptogenic constrictive bronchiolitis is commonly

            recognized as an expression of chronic organ rejection in the

            setting of lung transplantation (bronchiolitis obliterans

            syndrome) It also occurs on the basis of many other injuries

            and exists as an idiopathic form In this photograph taken

            from a biopsy in a lung transplant patient the bronchiole can

            be seen at center right but the lumen is filled with loose

            fibroblasts (note the adjacent pulmonary artery upper left)

            were found to have occlusive bronchiolar fibrosis

            Four of the 8 had mild chronic airflow obstruction

            and 2 of these 4 patients were nonsmokers

            An increase in neuroendocrine cells was present in

            more than 20 of bronchioles examined in lung

            adjacent to the tumor and in tissue blocks taken well

            away from tumor Less than half of these airways

            were partially or totally occluded The mildest lesion

            consisted of linear zones of neuroendocrine cell

            hyperplasia with focal subepithelial fibrosis The

            most severely involved bronchioles showed total

            luminal occlusion by fibrous tissue with few visible

            neuroendocrine cells

            In both of these studies most of the patients with

            airway neuroendocrine hyperplasia were women Pre-

            sumably fibrosis in this setting of neuroendocrine

            hyperplasia is related to one or more peptides se-

            creted by neuroendocrine cells possibly these cells are

            more effective in stimulating airway fibrosis inwomen

            Cryptogenic constrictive bronchiolitis

            Unexplained chronic airflow obstruction that

            occurs in nonsmokers may be a result of selective

            (and likely multifocal) obliteration of the membra-

            nous bronchioles (constrictive bronchiolitis) In a

            study of 2094 patients with a forced expiratory

            volume in the first second (FEV1) of less than

            60 of predicted [165] 10 patients (9 women) were

            identified They ranged in age from 27 to 60 years

            Five were found to have RA and presumably

            rheumatoid bronchiolitis The other 5 had airflow

            obstruction of unknown cause believed to be caused

            by lsquolsquobronchiolitisrsquorsquo Other studies also identified a

            cryptogenic form of bronchiolar disease that produces

            airflow obstruction [166167] When biopsies have

            been performed constrictive bronchiolitis seems to

            be the common pathologic manifestation (Fig 55)

            It is fair to conclude that a rare but fairly distinct

            clinical syndrome exists that consists of mild airflow

            obstruction and usually affects middle-aged women

            who manifest nonspecific respiratory symptoms

            such as cough and dyspnea It is possible that these

            cryptogenic cases of constrictive bronchiolitis are

            manifestations of undeclared systemic connective

            tissue disease the sequelae of prior undetected

            community-acquired infections (eg viral myco-

            plasmal chlamydial) or exposure to toxin

            Interstitial lung disease dominated by

            airway-associated scarring

            A form of small airway-associated ILD has been

            described in recent years under the names lsquolsquoidiopathic

            bronchiolocentric interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo [168] and

            lsquolsquoairway-centered interstitial fibrosisrsquorsquo [169] Affected

            patients have more of a restrictive than obstructive

            functional deficit and the process is characterized

            histopathologically by the presence of significant

            small airwayndashassociated scarring similar to that seen

            in forms of chronic hypersensitivity pneumonia

            certain chronic inhalational injuries (including sub-

            clinical chronic aspiration pneumonia) and even

            some examples of late-stage inactive PLCH (which

            typically lacks characteristic Langerhansrsquo cells) This

            morphologic group may pose diagnostic challenges

            because of the absence of interstitial inflammatory

            changes despite the radiologic and functional impres-

            sion of ILD

            Vasculopathic disease

            Diseases that involve the small arteries and veins

            of the lung can be subtle when viewed from low

            magnification under the microscope (Fig 56) This is

            not to imply that the entities of pulmonary hyper-

            tension capillary hemangiomatosis and veno-occlu-

            sive disease are always subtle (Fig 57) A complete

            discussion of these disease conditions is beyond the

            scope of this article however when the lung biopsy

            has little pathology evident at scanning magnifica-

            formation of cysts [170ndash173] The disease is

            centered on lymphatic channels blood vessels and

            airways LAM is a disease of women typically in

            their childbearing years The disease does occur in

            older women and rarely in men [174] There is a

            strong association between the inherited genetic

            disorder known as tuberous sclerosis complex and

            the occurrence of LAM Most patients with LAM do

            not have tuberous sclerosis complex but approxi-

            mately one fourth of patients with tuberous sclerosis

            complex have LAM as diagnosed by chest HRCT

            [175] The most common presenting symptoms are

            spontaneous pneumothorax and exertional dyspnea

            Others symptoms include chyloptosis hemoptysis

            and chest pain The characteristic findings on CT are

            numerous cysts separated by normal-appearing lung

            parenchyma The cysts range from 2 to 10 mm in

            diameter and are seen much better with HRCT

            [171176]

            The appearance of the abnormal smooth muscle in

            LAM is sufficiently characteristic so that once

            recognized it is rarely forgotten Cystic spaces are

            present at low magnification (Fig 58) The walls of

            these spaces have variable amounts of bundled

            spindled cells (Fig 59) The nuclei of these spindled

            cells (Fig 60) are larger than those of normal smooth

            muscle bundles seen around alveolar ducts or in the

            walls of airways or vessels Immunohistochemical

            staining is positive in these cells using antibodies

            directed against the melanoma markers HMB45 and

            Mart-1 (Fig 61) These findings may be useful in the

            evaluation of transbronchial biopsy in which only a

            present including peculiar nodules of hyperplastic

            pneumocytes (Fig 62) that lack immunoreactivity

            for HMB45 or Mart-1 but show immunoreactivity for

            disease

            Respiratory bronchiolitis is a common finding in

            the lungs of cigarette smokers and some investiga-

            tors consider this lesion to be a precursor of centri-

            acinar emphysema Respiratory bronchiolitis affects

            the terminal airways and is characterized by delicate

            fibrous bands that radiate from the peribronchiolar

            connective tissue into the surrounding lung (Fig 64)

            Dusty appearing tan-brown pigmented alveolar

            macrophages are present in the adjacent airspaces

            and a mild amount of interstitial chronic inflamma-

            tion is present Bronchiolar metaplasia (extension of

            terminal airway epithelium to alveolar ducts) is

            usually present to some degree In the bronchioles

            submucosal fibrosis may be present but constrictive

            changes are not a characteristic finding When

            respiratory bronchiolitis becomes extensive and

            patients have signs and symptoms of ILD use of

            the term RB-ILD has been suggested [180181] The

            exact relationship between RB-ILD and DIP is

            unclear and in smokers these two conditions are

            probably part of a continuous spectrum of disease

            Symptoms of RB-ILD include dyspnea excess

            sputum production and cough [182] Rarely patients

            centrilobular emphysema is common

            On histopathologic examination lightly pig-

            mented macrophages are present in the airspaces

            around the terminal airways with variable bronchiolar

            metaplasia (Fig 65) Iron stains may reveal delicate

            positive staining within these cells The relatively

            patchy nature of the disease is important in differ-

            entiating RB-ILD from DIP (Fig 66) A spectrum of

            pathologic severity emerges with isolated lesions of

            respiratory bronchiolitis on one end and diffuse

            macrophage accumulation in DIP on the other RB-

            ILD exists somewhere in between The diagnosis of

            RB-ILD should be reserved for situations in which

            respiratory bronchiolitis is prominent with associated

            clinical and pathologic ILD [184] No other cause for

            ILD should be apparent The prognosis is excellent

            and there does not seem to be evidence for pro-

            gression to end-stage fibrosis in the absence of other

            lung disease

            Pulmonary Langerhansrsquo cell histiocytosis

            PLCH (formerly known as pulmonary eosino-

            philic granuloma or pulmonary histiocytosis X) is

            currently recognized as a lung disease strongly

            associated with cigarette smoking Proliferation of

            Langerhansrsquo cells is associated with the formation of

            stellate airway-centered lung scars and cystic change

            in affected individuals The incidence of the disease is

            unknown but it is generally considered to be a rare

            complication of cigarette smoking [185]

            is illustrated in this figure Tractional emphysema with cyst

            formation is typical at the perimeter of the lesions Fig 69 PLCH The Langerhansrsquo cell has a slightly pale

            basophilic nucleus with characteristic sharp nuclear folds

            PLCH affects smokers between the ages of 20 and

            40 The most common presenting symptom is cough

            with dyspnea but some patients may be asymptom-

            atic despite chest radiographic abnormalities Chest

            pain fever weight loss and hemoptysis have been

            reported to occur HRCT scan shows nearly patho-

            gnomonic changes including predominately upper

            and middle lung zone nodules and cysts [185186]

            The classic lesion of PLCH is illustrated in

            Fig 67 Characteristically the nodules have a stellate

            shape and are always centered on the bronchioles

            Fig 68 PLCH Immunohistochemistry using antibodies

            directed against S100 protein and CD1a is helpful in

            highlighting numerous positively stained Langerhansrsquo cells

            within the cellular lesions (immunohistochemical stain using

            antibodies directed against S100 protein) (immuno-alkaline

            phosphatase method brown chromogen)

            Pigmented alveolar macrophages and variable num-

            bers of eosinophils surround and permeate the

            lesions Immunohistochemistry using antibodies

            directed against S100 proteinCD1a highlight numer-

            ous positive Langerhansrsquo cells at the periphery of the

            cellular lesions (Fig 68) The Langerhansrsquo cell has a

            slightly pale basophilic nucleus with characteristic

            sharp nuclear folds that resemble crumpled tissue

            paper (Fig 69) One or two small nucleoli are usually

            present Late lesions (so-called lsquolsquoinactiversquorsquo or

            resolved PLCH) consist only of fibrotic centrilobular

            scars [187] with a stellate configuration (Fig 70)

            Microcysts and honeycombing may be present

            KO Leslie Clin Chest Med 25 (2004) 657ndash703698

            Immunohistochemistry for S-100 protein and CD1a

            may be used to confirm the diagnosis but this is

            usually unnecessary and even may be confounding in

            late lesions in which Langerhansrsquo cells may be

            sparse and the stellate scar is the diagnostic lesion

            Up to 20 of transbronchial biopsies in patients

            with Langerhansrsquo cell histiocytosis may have diag-

            nostic changes The presence of more than 5

            Langerhansrsquo cells in bronchoalveolar lavage is

            considered diagnostic of Langerhansrsquo cell histiocy-

            tosis in the appropriate clinical setting Unfortunately

            cigarette smokers without Langerhansrsquo cell histiocy-

            tosis also may have increased numbers of Langer-

            hansrsquo cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage

              monia and even advanced fibrosis [56] For many

              drugs acute and chronic forms of toxicity have been

              reported This discussion emphasizes a few reactions

              that classically manifest as acute lung disease and

              highlight those that may produce chronic disease

              Nitrofurantoin

              Nitrofurantoin is an antimicrobial agent used in

              the treatment of urinary tract infections This agent is

              responsible for more cases of pulmonary toxicity than

              any other drug with acute and chronic reactions

              typically appear within 2 weeks of initiating therapy

              The histopathologic findings are similar to those of

              acute eosinophilic pneumonia Chronic reactions

              occur in a few patients taking the drug and clinical

              manifestations appear after 1 to 6 months of treat-

              ment The chronic cases are more often subjected to

              biopsy and show interstitial inflammation and fibrosis

              accompanied by vascular sclerosis

              Cytotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs

              The most common group of drugs that produces

              acute lung injury includes the antineoplastic agents

              From a clinical standpoint some drugs (eg 5-fluoro-

              uracil vinblastine cytarabine adriamycin thiotepa

              azathioprine) almost never produce pulmonary dis-

              ease With increasing numbers of newer antineo-

              plastic agents being used pulmonary toxicity

              undoubtedly will increase Excellent on-line re-

              sources that provide comprehensive and up-to-date

              lists of these agents are available [9]

              Analgesics

              Heroin [10] methadone propoxyphene and even

              aspirin can produce acute lung reactions [1112]

              Toxicity typically results from overdose and is

              characterized by pulmonary edema sometimes com-

              plicated by aspiration of gastric contents When pill

              binding agents such as talc or microcrystalline

              cellulose are injected with a drug intravenously a

              foreign body giant cell reaction may be seen in lung

              tissue in a characteristic perivascular distribution

              Radiation pneumonitis

              Radiation therapy was a common cause of acute

              lung injury before improved technology and modi-

              fications in dosing were instituted [13] Radiation

              injury can be exacerbated by infection [14] and

              chemotherapeutic drugs [15] Initial clinical signs and

              symptoms often are absent or mild In the acute

              phase chest radiographs and high-resolution CT

              (HRCT) reveal ground-glass opacities or airspace

              consolidation with some loss of lung volume

              Acute eosinophilic lung disease

              Acute lung injury that occurs in the presence of

              significant numbers of tissue eosinophils is referred

              to as lsquolsquoacute eosinophilic lung diseasersquorsquo Peripheral

              blood and bronchoalveolar lavage eosinophils are

              commonly elevated in these conditions Eosinophilia

              may not be persistent throughout the disease and

              eosinophilic vasculitis is not a prerequisite for the

              diagnosis in lung tissue Several forms have been

              described over the years the mildest of which has

              been referred to as Loeffler syndrome or simple

              eosinophilic pneumonia Ascaris infestation was

              documented eventually in the initial series by

              Loeffler which led to the hypothesis that simple

              eosinophilic pneumonia was a manifestation of

              hypersensitivity to Ascaris antigens

              The second form occurs commonly in patients

              with asthma presumably as an allergic manifestation

              to an unknown antigen The clinical course is more

              chronic and typically evolves slowly over many

              months Patients with the lsquolsquochronicrsquorsquo form of eosino-

              philic pneumonia may have a typical clinical syn-

              drome and radiographic appearance [16]

              Finally a dramatic new manifestation of idio-

              pathic eosinophilic lung disease has been described

              that is characterized by rapid onset of breathlessness

              in an otherwise healthy young adult without asthma

              [17] This form may mimic DAD clinically and patho-

              logically even with the presence of hyaline mem-

              branes The importance of recognizing this entity lies

              in its excellent prognosis and characteristic rapid

              response to corticosteroid therapy

              Some other well-recognized associations have

              been described with eosinophilic pneumonia The

              best example is that produced by sensitivity to nitro-

              furantoin and other drugs Eosinophilic pneumonia in

              the presence of asthma may be a manifestation of

              hypersensitivity to aspergillus and other fungal organ-

              isms (eg allergic bronchopulmonary fungal disease)

              The histopathologic features of eosinophilic pneu-

              monia include intra-alveolar eosinophils fibrin and

              plump eosinophilic macrophages surrounded by

              striking reactive type II cell hyperplasia (Fig 9)

              Acute fibrinous pleuritis may occur Eosinophilic

              microabscesses and eosinophilic vasculitis may be

              present but are not necessary for the diagnosis

              Acute pulmonary manifestations of the collagen

              vascular diseases

              The most common acute manifestation of the

              collagen vascular diseases is DAD but diffuse

              pulmonary hemorrhage also occurs The more com-

              mon collagen vascular diseases that produce acute

              manifestations are presented herein

              Rheumatoid arthritis

              Nearly one-half of all patients with rheumatoid

              arthritis (RA) develop one or more forms of

              rheumatoid lung disease [18] and patients with more

              severe joint involvement are more likely to develop

              pleuropulmonary manifestations Lung disease typi-

              cally follows the development of joint disease but

              occasionally the lung or pleura may herald the

              disease DAD is a well-recognized complication of

              RA [19]

              Systemic lupus erythematosus

              Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) also com-

              monly involves the lungs and pleura [18] Painful

              pleuritis with or without effusion is the most common

              abnormality [20] but acute lupus pneumonitis is a

              potentially disastrous complication with a mortality

              rate of 50 [21] Acute lupus pneumonitis is

              characterized morphologically by DAD Diffuse

              pulmonary hemorrhage also may occur usually

              accompanied by vasculitis and capillaritis (Fig 11)

              Immune complexes may be identified on capillary

              basement membranes in this setting [22]

              Dermatomyositis-polymyositis

              DAD is not common in dermatomyositis-poly-

              myositis but the clinical presentation may be

              particularly dramatic Tazelaar et al [23] presented

              14 patients with dermatomyositis-polymyositis who

              developed lung disease Three patients developed

              DAD all of whom died most frequently in the acute

              episode The authors also reviewed 27 additional

              cases of dermatomyositis-polymyositis lung disease

              reported in the literature and found similar results

              DAD may be the first clinical manifestation of

              dermatomyositis-polymyositis and may precede the

              clinical and serologic diagnosis of the disease by

              many months

              dence of infection Like DAD acute fibrinous and

              organizing pneumonia can be idiopathic or associated

              with several underlying or associated conditions

              such as collagen vascular disease drug reaction

              and occupational exposures Survival is similar to

              DAD in general but the requirement for mechanical

              ventilation was associated with a worse prognosis

              Acute diffuse alveolar hemorrhage

              Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is character-

              ized by a triad of (1) hemoptysis (2) anemia and

              (3) bilateral ground-glass opacities (or consolidation)

              that rapidly wax and wane Hemorrhage and hemo-

              siderin-laden macrophages in alveolar spaces are

              essential to the pathologic diagnosis [25ndash27] In

              practice artifactual hemorrhage can occur commonly

              in lung biopsy specimens Hemosiderin-laden macro-

              phages (with coarsely granular golden-brown refrac-

              tile pigment) always should be present in the alveolar

              spaces before one invokes the diagnosis of DAH

              (Fig 13) The differential diagnosis of DAH is pre-

              sented in Box 4

              Antiglomerular basement membrane disease

              (Goodpasturersquos syndrome)

              When diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage occurs with

              renal disease in the presence of circulating antibodies

              against glomerular basement membranes the con-

              dition is referred to as antiglomerular basement

              membrane disease [28ndash31] Lung biopsy is less

              desirable than kidney as a diagnostic specimen in

              Fig 13 DAH Fresh blood in the lung is not sufficient

              evidence for a diagnosis of DAH Hemosiderin-laden

              macrophages with coarsely granular golden-brown refractile

              pigment always should be present

              antiglomerular basement membrane disease but

              because renal disease is commonly occult at the time

              of presentation the lung is often the first tissue

              sample examined by the pathologist Unfortunately

              the lung findings are relatively nonspecific and

              consist of fresh alveolar hemorrhage hemosiderin

              deposition in macrophages (siderophages) and vari-

              able interstitial inflammation with delicate interstitial

              fibrosis (Fig 14) The presence of capillaritis in the

              alveolar wall is also helpful in distinguishing anti-

              glomerular basement membrane disease from idio-

              pathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) and chronic

              passive lung congestion The results of immunofluo-

              rescent studies on lung tissue are not as reliable as

              they are on kidney tissue [30] and for cost-effective

              practice we generally recommend serologic confir-

              mation (radioimmunoassay or ELISA) even when

              appropriately preserved lung tissue is available

              Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage associated with the

              systemic collagen vascular diseases

              DAH may occur as a consequence of several

              immune-mediated vasculitides including those that

              occur in the setting of collagen vascular disease

              Potential causes of DAH in this setting include

              microscopic polyangiitis SLE Wegenerrsquos granulo-

              matosis cryoglobulinemia RA crescentic glomeru-

              lonephritis and scleroderma [25272930] The

              common histopathologic feature is acute capillaritis

              In the absence of renal disease or demonstrable

              immunologic disease DAH has been termed IPH

              disease is acute capillaritis (A) with or without larger vessel vascu

              IPH occurs most commonly in children younger

              than 10 years and young adults in the second and

              age group but men predominate in the older age

              antiglomerular basement membrane disease namely

              alveolar hemorrhage and hemosiderin-laden macro-

              phages but in IPH there is less interstitial inflam-

              The term lsquolsquoacute interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo was first

              introduced in 1986 to describe a syndrome of rapidly

              evolving acute respiratory failure that occurred in

              immunocompetent individuals [32] The patients

              described included three men and five women (two

              of whom were pregnant) who developed sudden

              unexplained respiratory failure Six reported a viral-

              like prodrome None of the patients was reported to

              have underlying collagen vascular disease By

              definition acute interstitial pneumonia is of unknown

              cause and is a diagnosis of exclusion The usual

              causes of ARDS must be absent (ie shock sepsis

              trauma aspiration or drug toxicity)

              Surgical lung biopsies show DAD in varying

              stages (Fig 17) The changes observed in biopsy

              specimens depend on the stage at which the biopsy is

              taken and tend to be relatively diffuse throughout the

              specimen Like other forms of DAD the early stages

              show an exudative phase with edema and hyaline

              membranes Bronchioles may show squamous meta-

              plasia that extend peripherally to involve adjacent

              alveolar walls Organizing arterial thrombi were seen

              in five of the seven patients who died in the Kat-

              zenstein series [32] In the last stages fibrosis distorts

              Collagen vascular disease or allergic disorders

              stitial pneumonia although they may not be clinically

              apparent at the time of presentation acute interstitial

              pneumonia has been formally added to the classi-

              the dismal prognosis of this idiopathic condition In

              younger patients the systemic connective tissue

              diseases figure prominently as causes of chronic lung

              disease with fibrosis

              Pulmonary fibrosis in the systemic connective tissue

              diseases

              The collagen vascular diseases as a group involve

              the respiratory system frequently Each of these

              diseases may involve the lung and pleura in several

              different ways Although the lung morphologic

              abnormalities are not specific for any one of these

              diseases some features are more commonly mani-

              fested than others in each of them (Table 4) A few of

              the more prominent collagen vascular diseases known

              to produce fibrosis are presented herein

              Rheumatoid arthritis

              The most common thoracic complication of RA is

              pleural disease (effusion or pleuritis) which is seen in

              as much as 50 of patients in autopsy studies

              According to a study by Walker and Wright [33]

              approximately one-third of the patients with pleural

              effusions also have pulmonary manifestations of RA

              in the form of nodules or interstitial disease Nodules

              may be seen in the lung parenchyma and occasionally

              in the walls of airways in persons with RA which

              represents lymphoid hyperplasia with germinal cen-

              ters in most instances (Fig 18) The interstitial

              pneumonia of RA may be cellular with little fibrosis

              (cellular NSIP-like see later discussion) fibrotic with

              honeycomb cystic remodeling (UIP-like see later

              discussion) and occasionally may have a macro-

              phage-rich DIP pattern (discussed in Pattern 4) [19]

              Fig 17 Acute interstitial pneumonia Surgical lung biopsies show diffuse alveolar damage in varying stages In the earliest

              manifestation (A) edema in the alveolar spaces and interstitium is typical with hyaline membranes and preservation of the

              alveolar spaces As the process evolves (2ndash4 days after onset) hyaline membranes become thicker and there is greater cellularity

              in the interstitium as inflammatory cells begin to accrue (B) By the end of the first week (C) alveolar spaces are overwhelmed

              by reparative changes with myofibroblasts that produce an organizing pneumonia pattern Over the next weeks (D) the

              myofibroblasts become incorporated into the interstitium as the best outcome with reconstitution of the alveolar architecture

              Systemic lupus erythematosus

              Similar to RA SLE also commonly involves the

              respiratory system [18] Painful pleuritis with or

              without effusion is the most common abnormality

              [20] Noninfectious organizing pneumonia also has

              been reported and advanced fibrosis with honey-

              comb remodeling occurs (Fig 19) [34]

              Progressive systemic sclerosis

              The most notable feature of lsquolsquoscleroderma lungrsquorsquo

              is the presence of extensive alveolar wall fibrosis

              without much inflammation (Fig 20) [35] Some

              degree of diffuse lung fibrosis occurs in nearly every

              patient with pulmonary involvement [18] Patients

              with longstanding progressive systemic sclerosisndash

              related lung fibrosis are at high risk of developing

              bronchoalveolar carcinoma Vascular sclerosis usu-

              ally without true vasculitis is typical if sufficiently

              severe it produces pulmonary hypertension [36]

              Pleural disease is less common in progressive

              systemic sclerosis than in RA or SLE

              Mixed connective tissue disease

              Mixed connective tissue disease is relatively

              common in producing interstitial pulmonary disease

              or pleural effusions [18] In many cases the

              abnormalities respond well to corticosteroid therapy

              fibrosis does occur A pattern of fibrosis that re-

              sembles the pattern seen in UIP (see later discussion)

              occurs and pulmonary hypertension may occur

              accompanied by plexiform lesions similar to those

              seen in persons with primary pulmonary hyperten-

              sion [37]

              DermatomyositisPolymyositis

              Several forms of ILD have been reported in der-

              matomyositispolymyositis and the histologic find-

              ings seen on biopsy seem to be better predictors of

              prognosis than clinical or radiologic features [23] A

              subacute presentation with a noninfectious organizing

              pneumonia pattern has been associated with the best

              prognosis whereas the worst prognosis has been

              associated with advanced lung fibrosis [23]

              Sjogrenrsquos syndrome

              The common pulmonary lesions of Sjogrenrsquos

              syndrome generally evolve over weeks to months

              and are analogous to the disease manifestations in the

              salivary glands The range of disease patterns in

              Sjogrenrsquos syndrome is broad especially when Sjog-

              renrsquos syndrome is accompanied by other connective

              tissue disease A hallmark of pure Sjogrenrsquos syndrome

              in the lung is marked lymphoreticular infiltrates in

              the submucosal glands of the tracheobronchial tree

              (Fig 21) [18] Patients with Sjogrenrsquos syndrome also

              are at risk for LIP and occasionally develop lympho-

              proliferative disorders that involve the pulmonary

              interstitium ranging from relatively low-grade extra-

              nodal marginal zone lymphoma (MALToma) to a

              high-grade lymphoma Advanced lung fibrosis also

              occurs as pleuropulmonary manifestation in Sjogrenrsquos

              syndrome (Fig 22) [3839]

              Certain chronic drug reactions

              Many drugs are reported to produce lung fibrosis

              among them bleomycin carmustine penicillamine ni-

              trofurantoin tocainide mexiletine amiodarone aza-

              thioprine methotrexate melphalan and mitomycin C

              Unfortunately the list of agents is growing rapidly

              and the reader is referred to on-line resources such

              as wwwpneumotoxcom [188] for continuously

              updated information on reported drug reactions Bleo-

              mycin is presented in this article because it causes sub-

              acute and chronic toxicity and has been used widely

              as an experimental model of pulmonary fibrosis

              Bleomycin

              Bleomycin is an antineoplastic agent that becomes

              concentrated in skin lungs and lymphatic fluid

              Pulmonary lesions may be dose-related [4041] and

              prior radiotherapy seems to predispose to toxicity

              [42] The initial site of injury in experimental models

              seems to be the venous endothelial cell [43] but type I

              cell injury allows fibrin and other serum proteins to

              leak into the alveolus Type II cell hyperplasia occurs

              as a regenerative phenomenon that results in atypical

              enlarged forms and intra-alveolar fibroplasia occurs

              (often in a subpleural distribution) eventually result-

              ing in alveolar septal widening (Fig 23)

              Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome

              The Hermansky-Pudlak syndromes are a group of

              autosomal-recessive inherited genetic disorders that

              share oculocutaneous albinism platelet storage

              Idiopathic usual interstitial pneumonia (cryptogenic

              fibrosing alveolitis)

              UIP is a chronic diffuse lung disease of

              unknown origin characterized by a progressive

              tendency to produce fibrosis UIP has had many

              names over the years including chronic Hamman-

              studied In the other half the disease was lsquolsquohetero-

              Currently UIP has been restricted to a subset of the

              broad and heterogeneous group of diseases initially

              encompassed by this term [114]

              UIP is a disease of older individuals typically

              older than 50 years [62] Men are slightly more

              commonly affected than women Characteristic clini-

              cal findings include distinctive end-inspiratory

              crackles (lsquolsquoVelcro cracklesrsquorsquo) at the lung bases and

              the eventual development of lung fibrosis with cor

              ules which further adds to the distinctive low magnification

              is distinctive and occurs at the interface between dense peripheral fibrosis and more normal lung centrally in the lobule Another

              consistent finding seen even in early examples of cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis is microscopic honeycombing (B) This focus

              was presumably an intact lobule once but was replaced by cysts partially filled with mucus No alveoli remain

              3 years [3] and the mean survival after diagnosis has

              been reported as 42 years in a population-based

              study [63] Different from other chronic inflamma-

              proves neither survival nor quality of life for patients

              with UIP [62]

              HRCT has added a new dimension to the diagnosis

              of UIP The abnormalities are most prominent at the

              periphery of the lungs and in the lung bases

              regardless of the stage [64] Irregular linear opacities

              result in a reticular pattern [64] Advanced lung

              remodeling with cyst formation (honeycombing) is

              seen in approximately 90 of patients at presentation

              [65] Ground-glass opacities can be seen in approxi-

              mately 80 of cases of UIP but are seldom extensive

              The gross examination of the lung often reveals a

              characteristic nodular external surface (Fig 29)

              Histopathologically UIP is best envisioned as a

              smoldering alveolitis of unknown cause accompanied

              by microscopic foci of injury repair and lung

              remodeling with dense fibrosis The disease begins

              at the periphery of the pulmonary lobule and has a

              consistent tendency to leave lung fibrosis and honey-

              comb cystic lung remodeling in its wake as it

              progresses from the periphery to the center of the

              lobule (Fig 30) This transition from dense fibrosis

              with or without honeycombing to near normal lung

              through an intermediate stage of alveolar organization

              and inflammation is the histologic hallmark of so-

              called lsquolsquotemporal heterogeneityrsquorsquo Thick irregular

              bundles of smooth muscle typically are present within

              areas of fibrosis (Fig 31) presumably arising as a

              consequence of progressive parenchymal collapse

              with incorporation of native airway and vascular

              smooth muscle into fibrosis Less well-recognized

              additional features of UIP are distortion and narrow-

              ing of bronchioles together with peribronchiolar

              fibrosis and inflammation This observation likely

              accounts for the functional evidence of small airway

              obstruction that may be found in UIP [66] Wide-

              spread bronchial dilation (traction bronchiectasis)

              Acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

              the cause of death in approximately one half of

              affected individuals for a small subset death is

              cerbation of IPFrsquorsquo when no infectious cause is

              identified The typical history is that of a patient

              being followed for IPF who suddenly develops acute

              respiratory distress that often is accompanied by

              fever elevation of the sedimentation rate marked

              increase in dyspnea and new infiltrates that often

              have an lsquolsquoalveolarrsquorsquo character radiologically For

              many years this manifestation was believed to be

              infectious pneumonia (possibly viral) superimposed

              on a fibrotic lung with marginal reserve Because

              cases are sufficiently common organisms are rarely

              identified and a small percentage of patients respond

              to pulse systemic corticosteroid therapy many inves-

              tigators consider such exacerbation to be a form of

              fulminant progression of the disease process itself

              Overall acute exacerbation has a poor prognosis and

              death within 1 week is not unusual Pathologically

              acute lung injury that resembles DAD or organizing

              pneumonia is superimposed on a background of

              peripherally accentuated lobular fibrosis with honey-

              combing This latter finding can be highlighted in

              tissue sections using the Masson trichrome stain for

              collagen (Fig 32) That acute exacerbation is a real

              phenomenon in IPF is underscored by the results of a

              recent large randomized trial of human recombinant

              interferon gamma 1b in IPF In this study of patients

              Pattern 3 interstitial lung diseases dominated by

              interstitial mononuclear cells (chronic

              inflammation)

              The most classic manifestation of ILD is em-

              bodied in this pattern in which mononuclear in-

              flammatory cells (eg lymphocytes plasma cells and

              histiocytes) distend the interstitium of the alveolar

              walls The pattern is common and has several

              associated conditions (Box 6)

              Hypersensitivity pneumonitis

              Lung disease can result from inhalation of various

              organic antigens In most of these exposures the

              disease is immunologically mediated presumably

              through a type III hypersensitivity reaction although

              the immunologic mechanisms have not been well

              documented in all conditions [68] The prototypic

              example is so-called lsquolsquofarmerrsquos lungrsquorsquo which is

              caused by hypersensitivity to thermophilic actino-

              mycetes (Micromonospora vulgaris and Thermophyl-

              liae polyspora) that grow in moldy hay

              The radiologic appearance depends on the stage of

              the disease In the acute stage airspace consolidation

              is the dominant feature In the subacute stage there is

              a fine nodular pattern or ground-glass opacification

              The classic histologic features of hypersensitivity

              pneumonia are presented in Table 6 Because biopsy

              is typically performed in the subacute phase the

              interstitial infiltrate with lymphocytes and variable

              numbers of plasma cells Lung structure is preserved

              and alveoli usually can be distinguished A few

              lymphocytes Characteristically scattered giant cells

              of the foreign body type are seen around terminal

              airways and may contain cleft-like spaces or small

              particles that are doubly refractile (Fig 34) Terminal

              airways display chronic inflammation of their walls

              (bronchiolitis) often with destruction distortion and

              even occlusion Pale or lightly eosinophilic vacuo-

              lated macrophages are typically found in alveolar

              spaces and are a common sign of bronchiolar

              obstruction Similar macrophages also are seen within

              alveolar walls

              In the largest series reported the inciting allergen

              Methotrexate seems to manifest pulmonary tox-

              icity through a hypersensitivity reaction [75] There

              does not seem to be a dose relationship to toxicity

              although intravenous administration has been shown

              to be associated with more toxic effects Symptoms

              typically begin with a cough that occurs within the

              first 3 months after administration and is accompanied

              by fever malaise and progressive breathlessness

              Peripheral eosinophilia occurs in a significant number

              of patients who develop toxicity A chronic interstitial

              infiltrate is observed in lung tissue with lymphocytes

              plasma cells and a few eosinophils (Fig 36) Poorly

              scattered multinucleated giant cells are common

              (Fig 37) Symptoms gradually abate after the drug

              is withdrawn [76] but systemic corticosteroids also

              have been used successfully

              Amiodarone

              Amiodarone is an effective agent used in the

              setting of refractory cardiac arrhythmias It is

              estimated that pulmonary toxicity occurs in 5 to

              10 of patients who take this medication and older

              patients seem to be at greater risk Toxicity is

              heralded by slowly progressive dyspnea and dry

              cough that usually occurs within months of initiating

              therapy In some patients the onset of disease may

              trates may be present on HRCT scans but basalar and

              peripherally accentuated high attenuation opacities

              and nonspecific infiltrates are described [8182]

              Amiodarone toxicity produces a cellular interstitial

              pneumonia associated with prominent intra-alveolar

              macrophages whose cytoplasm shows fine vacuola-

              tion [7783ndash85] This vacuolation is also present in

              adjacent reactive type 2 pneumocytes Characteristic

              lamellar cytoplasmic inclusions are present ultra-

              structurally [86] Unfortunately these cytoplasmic

              changes are an expected manifestation of the drug so

              their presence is not sufficient to warrant a diagnosis

              of amiodarone toxicity [83] Pleural inflammation

              and pleural effusion have been reported [87] Some

              patients with amiodarone toxicity develop an orga-

              Most patients who develop pulmonary toxicity

              related to amiodarone recover once the drug is dis-

              continued [777883ndash85]

              Idiopathic lymphoid interstitial pneumonia

              LIP is a clinical pathologic entity that fits

              descriptively within the chronic interstitial pneumo-

              nias By consensus LIP has been included in the

              current classification of the idiopathic interstitial

              pneumonias despite decades of controversy about

              what diseases are encompassed by this term In 1969

              Liebow and Carrington [3] briefly presented a group

              of patients and used the term LIP to describe their

              biopsy findings The defining criteria were morphol-

              ogic and included lsquolsquoan exquisitely interstitial infil-

              tratersquorsquo that was described as generally polymorphous

              and consisted of lymphocytes plasma cells and large

              mononuclear cells (Fig 38) Several associated

              clinical conditions have been described including

              connective tissue diseases bone marrow transplanta-

              tion acquired and congenital immunodeficiency

              syndromes and diffuse lymphoid hyperplasia of the

              intestine This disease is considered idiopathic only

              when a cause or association cannot be identified

              The idiopathic form of LIP occurs most com-

              monly between the ages of 50 and 70 but children

              may be affected Women are more commonly

              affected than men Cough dyspnea and progressive

              shortness of breath occur and often are accompanied

              by weight loss fever and adenopathy Dysproteine-

              by variable fibrosis at scanning magnification Multi-

              nucleated giant cells small granulomas and cysts may

              be present

              neutrophils fill the alveolar spaces the disease is usually

              acute clinically and bacterial pneumonia leads the differ-

              ential diagnosis Neutrophils are accompanied by necrosis

              dominant HRCT finding is ground-glass opacifica-

              tion [90] although thickening of the bronchovascular

              bundles and thin-walled cysts may be seen [90]

              LIP is best thought of as a histopathologic pattern

              rather than a diagnosis because LIP as proposed

              initially has morphologic features that are difficult to

              separate accurately from other lymphoplasmacellular

              interstitial infiltrates including low-grade lymphomas

              of extranodal marginal zone type (maltoma) The LIP

              pattern requires clinical and laboratory correlation for

              accurate assessment similar to organizing pneumo-

              nia NSIP and DIP The histopathologic hallmarks of

              the LIP pattern include diffuse interstitial infiltration

              by lymphocytes plasmacytoid lymphocytes plasma

              cells and histiocytes (Fig 39) Giant cells and small

              granulomas may be present [91] Honeycombing with

              interstitial fibrosis can occur Immunophenotyping

              shows lack of clonality in the lymphoid infiltrate

              When LIP accompanies HIV infection a wide age

              range occurs and it is commonly found in children

              [92ndash95] These HIV-infected patients have the same

              nonspecific respiratory symptoms but weight loss is

              more common Other features of HIV and AIDS

              such as lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly

              are also more common Mean survival is worse than

              that of LIP alone with adults living an average of

              14 months and children an average of 32 months

              [96] The morphology of LIP with or without HIV

              is similar

              Pattern 4 interstitial lung diseases dominated by

              airspace filling

              A significant number of ILDs are attended or

              dominated by the presence of material filling the

              alveolar spaces Depending on the composition of

              this airspace filling process a narrow differential

              diagnosis typically emerges The prototype for the

              airspace filling pattern is organizing pneumonia in

              which immature fibroblasts (myofibroblasts) form

              polypoid growths within the terminal airways and

              alveoli Organizing pneumonia is a common and

              nonspecific reaction to lung injury Other material

              also can occur in the airspaces such as neutrophils in

              the case of bacterial pneumonia proteinaceous

              material in alveolar proteinosis and even bone in

              so-called lsquolsquoracemosersquorsquo or dendritic calcification

              Neutrophils

              When neutrophils fill the alveolar spaces the

              disease is usually acute clinically and bacterial

              pneumonia leads the differential diagnosis (Fig 40)

              Rarely immunologically mediated pulmonary hem-

              orrhage can be associated with brisk episodes of

              neutrophilic capillaritis these cells can shed into the

              alveolar spaces and mimic bronchopneumonia

              appropriate pathologic term is lsquolsquoorganizing pneumo-

              niarsquorsquo although many clinicians believe that this is an

              automatic indictment of infection Unfortunately the

              lung has a limited capacity for repair after any injury

              and organizing pneumonia often is a part of this

              process regardless of the exact mechanism of injury

              The more generic term lsquolsquoairspace organizationrsquorsquo is

              preferable but longstanding habits are hard to

              change Some of the more common causes of the

              organizing pneumonia pattern are presented in Box 7

              One particular form of diffuse lung disease is

              characterized by airspace organization and is idio-

              pathic This clinicopathologic condition was previ-

              ously referred to as lsquolsquoidiopathic bronchiolitis obliterans

              organizing pneumoniarsquorsquo (idiopathic BOOP) The name

              of this disorder recently was changed to COP

              Idiopathic cryptogenic organizing pneumonia

              In 1983 Davison et al [97] described a group of

              patients with COP and 2 years later Epler et al [98]

              described similar cases as idiopathic BOOP The pro-

              cess described in these series is believed to be the

              same [1] as those cases described by Liebow and

              sonable consensus has emerged regarding what is

              being called COP [97ndash100] King and Mortensen

              [101] recently compiled the findings from 4 major

              case series reported from North America adding 18

              of their own cases (112 cases in all) Based on

              these compiled data the following description of

              COP emerges

              The evolution of clinical symptoms is subacute

              (4 months on average and 3 months in most) and

              follows a flu-like illness in 40 of cases The average

              age at presentation is 58 years (range 21ndash80 years)

              and there is no sex predominance Dyspnea and

              cough are present in half the patients Fever is

              common and leukocytosis occurs in approximately

              one fourth The erythrocyte sedimentation rate is

              typically elevated [102] Clubbing is rare Restrictive

              lung disease is present in approximately half of the

              patients with COP and the diffusing capacity is

              reduced in most Airflow obstruction is mild and

              typically affects patients who are smokers

              Chest radiographs show patchy bilateral (some-

              times unilateral) nonsegmental airspace consolidation

              [103] which may be migratory and similar to those of

              eosinophilic pneumonia Reticulation may be seen in

              10 to 40 of patients but rarely is predominant

              [103104] The most characteristic HRCT features of

              COP are patchy unilateral or bilateral areas of

              consolidation which have a predominantly peribron-

              chial or subpleural distribution (or both) in approxi-

              mately 60 of cases In 30 to 50 of cases small

              ill-defined nodules (3ndash10 mm in diameter) are seen

              [105ndash108] and a reticular pattern is seen in 10 to

              30 of cases

              The major histopathologic feature of COP is

              alveolar space organization (so-called lsquolsquoMasson

              bodiesrsquorsquo) but it also extends to involve alveolar ducts

              and respiratory bronchioles in which the process has

              a characteristic polypoid and fibromyxoid appearance

              (Fig 41) The parenchymal involvement tends to be

              patchy All of the organization seems to be recent

              Unfortunately the term BOOP has become one of the

              most commonly misused descriptions in lung pathol-

              ogy much to the dismay of clinicians Pathologists

              use the term to describe nonspecific organization that

              occurs in alveolar ducts and alveolar spaces of lung

              biopsies Clinicians hear the term BOOP or BOOP

              pattern and often interpret this as a clinical diagnosis

              of idiopathic BOOP Because of this misuse there is a

              growing consensus [101109] regarding use of the

              term COP to describe the clinicopathologic entity for

              the following reasons (1) Although COP is primarily

              an organizing pneumonia in up to 30 or more of

              cases granulation tissue is not present in membra-

              in respiratory bronchioles [97] (2) The term lsquolsquobron-

              chiolitis obliteransrsquorsquo has been used in so many

              different ways that it has become a highly ambiguous

              term (3) Bronchiolitis generally produces obstruction

              to airflow and COP is primarily characterized by a

              restrictive defect

              The expected prognosis of COP is relatively good

              In 63 of affected patients the condition resolves

              mainly as a response to systemic corticosteroids

              Twelve percent die typically in approximately

              3 months The disease persists in the remaining sub-

              set or relapses if steroids are tapered too quickly

              Patients with COP who fare poorly frequently have

              comorbid disorders such as connective tissue disease

              [110] A recent study showed that the presence of

              reticular opacities in a patient with COP portended

              a worse prognosis [111]

              Macrophages

              Macrophages are an integral part of the lungrsquos

              defense system These cells are migratory and

              generally do not accumulate in the lung to a

              significant degree in the absence of obstruction of

              the airways or other pathology In smokers dusty

              brown macrophages tend to accumulate around the

              terminal airways and peribronchiolar alveolar spaces

              and in association with interstitial fibrosis The

              cigarette smokingndashrelated airway disease known as

              respiratory bronchiolitisndashassociated ILD is discussed

              later in this article with the smoking-related ILDs

              Beyond smoking some infectious diseases are

              characterized by a prominent alveolar macrophage

              reaction such as the malacoplakia-like reaction to

              Rhodococcus equi infection in the immunocompro-

              mised host or the mucoid pneumonia reaction to

              cryptococcal pneumonia Conditions associated with

              a DIP-like reaction are presented in Box 8

              Eosinophilic pneumonia

              Acute eosinophilic pneumonia was discussed

              earlier with the acute ILDs but the acute and chronic

              forms of eosinophilic pneumonia often are accom-

              panied by a striking macrophage reaction in the

              airspaces Different from the macrophages in a

              patient with smoking-related macrophage accumula-

              tion the macrophages of eosinophilic pneumonia

              tend to have a brightly eosinophilic appearance and

              are plump with dense cytoplasm Multinucleated

              forms may occur and the macrophages may aggre-

              gate in sufficient density to suggest granulomas in the

              alveolar spaces When this occurs a careful search

              for eosinophils in the alveolar spaces and reactive

              type II cell hyperplasia is often helpful in distinguish-

              ing eosinophilic lung disease from other conditions

              characterized by a histiocytic reaction

              Idiopathic desquamative interstitial pneumonia

              In 1965 Liebow et al [112] described 18 cases of

              diffuse lung diseases that differed in many respects

              from UIP The striking histologic feature was the pre-

              sence of numerous cells filling the airspaces Liebow

              et al believed that the cells were chiefly desquamated

              alveolar epithelial lining cells and coined the term

              lsquolsquodesquamative interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo It is currently

              known that these cells are predominately macro-

              phages however [113] DIP and the cigarette smok-

              ingndashrelated disease known as RB-ILD are believed to

              be similar if not identical diseases possibly repre-

              senting different expressions of disease severity [115]

              RB-ILD is discussed later in this article in the section

              on smoking-related diffuse lung disease

              The patients described by Liebow et al [112] were

              on average slightly younger than patients with UIP

              and their symptoms were usually milder Clubbing

              was uncommon but in later series some patients with

              clubbing were identified [4] Most patients have a

              subacute lung disease of weeks to months of evo-

              lution The predominant finding on the radiograph and

              HRCT in patients with DIP consists of ground-glass

              opacities particularly at the bases and at the costo-

              phrenic angles [115] Some patients have mild reticu-

              lar changes superimposed on ground-glass opacities

              In lung biopsy the scanning magnification

              appearance of DIP is striking (Fig 42) The alveolar

              spaces are filled with lightly pigmented (brown)

              macrophages and multinucleated cells are commonly

              Fig 42 DIP The scanning magnification appearance of DIP is strik

              (brown) macrophages and multinucleated cells are commonly pre

              present Additional important features include the

              relative preservation of lung architecture with only

              mild thickening of alveolar walls and absence of

              severe fibrosis or honeycombing [116ndash118] Inter-

              stitial mononuclear inflammation is seen sometimes

              with scattered lymphoid follicles The histologic

              appearance of DIP is not specific It is commonly

              present in other diffuse and localized lung diseases

              including UIP asbestosis [119] and other dust-

              related diseases [120] DIP-like reactions occur after

              nitrofurantoin therapy [121122] and in alveolar

              spaces adjacent to the nodules of PLCH (see later

              section on smoking-related diseases)

              Cases have been reported in which classic DIP

              lsquolsquoprogressed to fibrosing alveolitisrsquorsquo [117123] It

              seems clear that DIP represents a nonspecific reaction

              and more commonly occurs in smokers It is critical

              to distinguish between DIP and UIP especially

              because these diseases are regarded as different from

              one another Research has shown conclusively that

              the clinical features are different the prognosis is

              much better in DIP and DIP may respond to

              corticosteroid administration [124] whereas UIP

              does not [62]

              Proteinaceous material

              When eosinophilic material fills the alveolar

              spaces the differential diagnosis includes pulmonary

              edema and alveolar proteinosis

              Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis

              PAP (alveolar lipoproteinosis) is a rare diffuse

              lung disease characterized by the intra-alveolar

              ing (A) The alveolar spaces are filled with lightly pigmented

              sent (B)

              accumulation of lipid-rich eosinophilic material

              [125] PAP likely occurs as a result of overproduction

              of surfactant by type II cells impaired clearance of

              surfactant by alveolar macrophages or a combination

              of these mechanisms The disease can occur as an

              idiopathic form but also occurs in the settings of

              occupational disease (especially dust-related) drug-

              induced injury hematologic diseases and in many

              settings of immunodeficiency [125ndash128] PAP is

              commonly associated with exposure to inhaled

              crystalline material and silica although other sub-

              stances have been implicated [126] The idiopathic

              form is the most common presentation with a male

              predominance and an age range of 30 to 50 years

              The usual presenting symptom is insidious dyspnea

              sometimes with cough [129] although the clinical

              symptoms are often less dramatic than the radio-

              logic abnormalities

              Chest radiographs show extensive bilateral air-

              space consolidation that involves mainly the perihilar

              regions CT demonstrates what seems to be smooth

              thickening of lobular septa that is not seen on the

              chest radiograph The thickening of lobular septae

              within areas of ground-glass attenuation is character-

              istic of alveolar proteinosis on CT and is referred to as

              lsquolsquocrazy pavingrsquorsquo [130] The areas of ground-glass

              attenuation and consolidation are often sharply

              demarcated from the surrounding normal lung with-

              out an apparent anatomic correlation [130ndash132]

              Histopathologically the scanning magnification

              appearance is distinctive if not diagnostic Pink

              granular material fills the airspaces often with a

              rim of retraction that separates the alveolar wall

              slightly from the exudate (Fig 43) Embedded

              clumps of dense globular granules and cholesterol

              the proteinaceous material of PAP Dramatic inflam-

              matory changes should suggest comorbid infection

              The idiopathic form of PAP has an excellent

              prognosis Many patients are only mildly symptom-

              atic In patients with severe dyspnea and hypoxemia

              treatment can be accomplished with one or more

              sessions of whole lung lavage which usually induces

              remission and excellent long-term survival [133]

              Pattern 5 interstitial lung diseases dominated by

              nodules

              Some ILDs are dominated by or significantly

              associated with nodules For most of the diffuse

              ILDs the nodules are small and appreciated best

              under the microscope In some instances nodules

              may be sufficiently large and diffuse in distribution

              that they are identified on HRCT In others cases a

              few large nodules may be present in two or more

              lobes or bilaterally (eg Wegener granulomatosis) For

              neoplasms that diffusely involve the lung the nodular

              pattern is overwhelmingly represented (eg lymphan-

              gitic carcinomatosis) The differential diagnosis of the

              nodular pattern is presented in Box 9

              Nodular granulomas

              Granulomatous infection

              Most nodular granulomatous reactions in the lung

              are of infectious origin until proven otherwise

              especially in the presence of necrosis The infectious

              diseases that characteristically produce well-formed

              granulomas are typically caused by mycobacteria

              fungi and rarely bacteria Sometimes Pneumocystis

              infection produces a nodular pattern A list of the

              diffuse lung diseases associated with granulomas is

              Sarcoidosis

              Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease

              of uncertain origin The disease commonly affects the

              lungs [134135] The origin pathogenesis and

              epidemiology of sarcoidosis suggest that it is a

              disorder of immune regulation [136ndash138] The

              observation that sarcoid granulomas recur after lung

              transplantation [139ndash141] seems to underscore fur-

              ther the notion that this is an acquired systemic

              abnormality of immunity It also emphasizes the fact

              that even profound immunosuppression (such as that

              used in transplantation) may be ineffective in halting

              disease progression for the subset whose condition

              persists and progresses to lung fibrosis

              Sarcoidosis occurs most frequently in young

              adults but has been described in all ages There is a

              decreased incidence of sarcoidosis in cigarette smok-

              ers Many patients with intrathoracic sarcoidosis are

              symptom free Systemic manifestations may be

              identified (in decreasing frequency) in lymph nodes

              eyes liver skin spleen salivary glands bone heart

              and kidneys Breathlessness is the most common

              pulmonary symptom

              The chest radiographic appearance is often char-

              acteristic with a combination of symmetrical bilateral

              hilar and paratracheal lymph node enlargement

              together with a varied pattern of parenchymal

              involvement including linear nodular and ground-

              glass opacities [142] In approximately 25 of the

              patients the radiographic appearance is atypical and

              in approximately 10 it is normal [143] Staging of

              the disease is based on pattern of involvement on

              plain chest radiographs only [135142]

              The histopathologic hallmark of sarcoidosis is the

              presence of well-formed granulomas without necrosis

              (Fig 45) Granulomas are classically distributed

              along lymphatic channels of the bronchovascular

              bundles interlobular septa and pleura (Fig 46) The

              area between granulomas is frequently sclerotic and

              adjacent small granulomas tend to coalesce into larger

              nodules Because of involvement of the broncho-

              vascular bundles and the characteristic histology

              sarcoidosis is one of the few diffuse lung diseases

              that can be diagnosed with a high degree of success

              by transbronchial biopsy (Fig 47) [144] Although

              necrosis is not a feature of the disease sometimes

              can be seen in other granulomatous diseases There

              is a generally held belief that a mild interstitial inflam-

              matory infiltrate accompanies granulomas in sar-

              coidosis [145ndash147] If this lsquolsquointerstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo

              of sarcoidosis exists it is subtle in the best example

              and consists of a few lymphocytes mononuclear

              cells and macrophages

              The prognosis for patients with sarcoidosis is

              excellent The disease typically resolves or improves

              severely compromised bronchiole in this case of follicu-

              lar bronchiolitis

              Severe chronic inflammation is centered on

              respiratory bronchioles early in the disease followed

              by involvement of distal membranous bronchioles

              and peribronchiolar alveolar spaces as the disease

              progresses A characteristic low magnification ap-

              pearance is that of nodular bronchiolocentric lesions

              (Fig 50) The characteristic and nearly diagnostic

              feature of diffuse panbronchiolitis is the accumulation

              of many pale vacuolated macrophages in the walls

              and lumens of respiratory bronchioles and in adjacent

              airspaces (Fig 51) Japanese investigators suspect

              that the condition occurs in the United States and has

              been underrecognized This view was substantiated

              pale vacuolated macrophages in the walls and lumens of

              with cellular chronic bronchiolitis [151] On review 7

              of these patients were reclassified as having diffuse

              panbronchiolitis (86)

              Nodules of neoplastic cells

              Isolated nodules of neoplastic cells occur com-

              monly as primary and metastatic cancer in the lung

              When nodules of neoplastic cells are seen in the

              radiologic context of ILD lymphangitic carcinoma-

              tosis leads the differential diagnosis LAM also can

              produce diffuse ILD typically with small nodules

              and cysts LAM is discussed later in this article under

              Pattern 6 PLCH also can produce small nodules and

              cysts diffusely in the lung (typically in the upper lung

              zones) and this entity is discussed with the smoking-

              related interstitial diseases

              Lymphangitic carcinomatosis

              Pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis (lym-

              phangitis carcinomatosa) is a form of metastatic

              carcinoma that involves the lung primarily within

              lymphatics The disease produces a miliary nodular

              pattern at scanning magnification Lymphangitic

              carcinoma is typically adenocarcinoma The most

              common sites of origin are breast lung and stomach

              although primary disease in pancreas ovary kidney

              and uterine cervix also can give rise to this

              manifestation of metastatic spread Patients often

              present with insidious onset of dyspnea that is

              frequently accompanied by an irritating cough The

              radiographic abnormalities include linear opacities

              Kerley B lines subpleural edema and hilar and

              mediastinal lymph node enlargement [154] The

              HRCT findings are highly characteristic and accu-

              rately reflect the microscopic distribution in this

              disease with uneven thickening of the bronchovas-

              cular bundles and lobular septa which gives them a

              beaded appearance [155156]

              Histopathologically malignant tumor cells are

              typically present in small aggregates within lym-

              phatic channels of the bronchovascular sheath and

              pleura (Fig 52) Variable amounts of tumor may be

              present throughout the lung in the interstitium of the

              alveolar walls in the airspaces and in small muscular

              pulmonary arteries This latter finding (microangio-

              pathic obliterative endarteritis) may be the origin of

              the edema inflammation and interstitial fibrosis that

              frequently accompany the disease and likely accounts

              for the clinical and radiologic impression of nonneo-

              plastic diffuse lung disease [154157]

              Pattern 6 interstitial lung disease with subtle

              findings in surgical biopsies (chronic evolution)

              A limited differential diagnosis is invoked by the

              relative absence of abnormalities in a surgical lung

              biopsy (Box 11) Three main categories of disease

              emerge in this setting (1) diseases of the small

              involves a membranous bronchiole accompanied by fol-

              licular bronchiolitis Small rheumatoid nodules (similar to

              those that occur around the joints) also can be seen

              occasionally in the walls of airways which results in partial

              or total occlusion

              airways (eg constrictive bronchiolitis) (2) vasculo-

              pathic conditions (eg pulmonary hypertension) and

              (3) two diseases that may be dominated by cysts the

              rare disease known as LAM and PLCH in the in-

              active or healed phase of the disease All of these may

              be dramatic in biopsy specimens but when con-

              fronted with the lsquolsquonearly normalrsquorsquo lung biopsy in a pa-

              tient with significant clinical disease these three

              groups of diseases dominate the differential diagnosis

              Small airways disease and constrictive bronchiolitis

              Obliteration of the small membranous bronchioles

              can occur as a result of infection toxic inhalational

              exposure drugs systemic connective tissue diseases

              and as an idiopathic form Outside of the setting of

              lung transplantation in which so-called lsquolsquobronchio-

              litis obliteransrsquorsquo (having histopathology similar to

              constrictive bronchiolitis) occurs as a chronic mani-

              festation of organ rejection the diagnosis presents a

              challenge for pulmonologists and pathologists alike

              In this section we present a few recognized forms of

              nonndashtransplant-associated constrictive bronchiolitis

              Irritants and infections

              Many irritant gases can produce severe bronchi-

              olitis This inflammatory injury may be followed by

              the accumulation of loose granulation tissue and

              finally by complete stenosis and occlusion of the

              airways The best known of these agents are nitrogen

              dioxide [158] sulfur dioxide [159] and ammonia

              [160] Viral infection also can cause permanent

              bronchiolar injury particularly adenovirus infection

              [161] Mycoplasma pneumonia is also cited as a

              potential cause [162] The course of events is similar

              to that for the toxic gases Variable degrees of

              bronchiectasis or bronchioloectasis may occur sec-

              ondarily up- and downstream from the area of

              occlusion Lung biopsy is performed rarely and then

              usually because the patient is young and unusual

              airflow obstruction is present Occasionally mixed

              obstruction and restriction may occur presumably on

              the basis of diffuse peribronchiolar scarring This

              airway-associated scarring may produce CT findings

              of lsquolsquointerstitialrsquorsquo disease The airway lesions are subtle

              but can be recognized by variable reduction in

              bronchiolar luminal diameter compared with the

              adjacent pulmonary artery branch (Normally these

              should be roughly equal in diameter when viewed

              as cross-sections) The diagnosis depends on careful

              clinical correlation and sometimes the addition of a

              comparison between inspiratory and expiratory

              HRCT scans which typically shows prominent

              mosaic air trapping

              Rheumatoid bronchiolitis

              Patients with RA may develop constrictive bron-

              chiolitis as a consequence of their disease In some

              patients small rheumatoid nodules can be seen in the

              walls of airways which results in their partial or total

              occlusion (Fig 53) From a practical point of view

              the lesions are focal within the airways often in small

              bronchi and may not be visualized easily in the

              biopsy specimen Because of the widespread recog-

              nition of rheumatoid bronchiolitis biopsy is rarely

              performed in these patients Morphologically scat-

              tered occlusion of small bronchi and bronchioles is

              observed and is associated with the presence of loose

              connective tissue in their lumens

              Neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia with occlusive

              bronchiolar fibrosis

              In 1992 Aguayo et al [163] reported six patients

              with moderate chronic airflow obstruction all of

              whom never smoked Diffuse neuroendocrine cell

              hyperplasia of the bronchioles associated with partial

              or total occlusion of airway lumens by fibrous tissue

              was present in all six patients (Fig 54) Three of the

              patients also had peripheral carcinoid tumors and

              three had progressive dyspnea

              In a study of 25 peripheral carcinoid tumors that

              occurred in smokers and nonsmokers Miller and

              Muller [164] identified 19 patients (76) with

              neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of the airways which

              occurred mostly in bronchioles Eight patients (32)

              syndrome) It also occurs on the basis of many other injuries

              and exists as an idiopathic form In this photograph taken

              from a biopsy in a lung transplant patient the bronchiole can

              Four of the 8 had mild chronic airflow obstruction

              and 2 of these 4 patients were nonsmokers

              An increase in neuroendocrine cells was present in

              more than 20 of bronchioles examined in lung

              adjacent to the tumor and in tissue blocks taken well

              away from tumor Less than half of these airways

              were partially or totally occluded The mildest lesion

              consisted of linear zones of neuroendocrine cell

              hyperplasia with focal subepithelial fibrosis The

              most severely involved bronchioles showed total

              luminal occlusion by fibrous tissue with few visible

              neuroendocrine cells

              In both of these studies most of the patients with

              airway neuroendocrine hyperplasia were women Pre-

              sumably fibrosis in this setting of neuroendocrine

              hyperplasia is related to one or more peptides se-

              creted by neuroendocrine cells possibly these cells are

              more effective in stimulating airway fibrosis inwomen

              Cryptogenic constrictive bronchiolitis

              Unexplained chronic airflow obstruction that

              occurs in nonsmokers may be a result of selective

              (and likely multifocal) obliteration of the membra-

              nous bronchioles (constrictive bronchiolitis) In a

              study of 2094 patients with a forced expiratory

              volume in the first second (FEV1) of less than

              60 of predicted [165] 10 patients (9 women) were

              identified They ranged in age from 27 to 60 years

              Five were found to have RA and presumably

              rheumatoid bronchiolitis The other 5 had airflow

              obstruction of unknown cause believed to be caused

              by lsquolsquobronchiolitisrsquorsquo Other studies also identified a

              cryptogenic form of bronchiolar disease that produces

              airflow obstruction [166167] When biopsies have

              been performed constrictive bronchiolitis seems to

              be the common pathologic manifestation (Fig 55)

              It is fair to conclude that a rare but fairly distinct

              clinical syndrome exists that consists of mild airflow

              obstruction and usually affects middle-aged women

              who manifest nonspecific respiratory symptoms

              such as cough and dyspnea It is possible that these

              cryptogenic cases of constrictive bronchiolitis are

              manifestations of undeclared systemic connective

              tissue disease the sequelae of prior undetected

              airway-associated scarring

              A form of small airway-associated ILD has been

              described in recent years under the names lsquolsquoidiopathic

              bronchiolocentric interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo [168] and

              lsquolsquoairway-centered interstitial fibrosisrsquorsquo [169] Affected

              patients have more of a restrictive than obstructive

              functional deficit and the process is characterized

              histopathologically by the presence of significant

              small airwayndashassociated scarring similar to that seen

              in forms of chronic hypersensitivity pneumonia

              certain chronic inhalational injuries (including sub-

              clinical chronic aspiration pneumonia) and even

              some examples of late-stage inactive PLCH (which

              typically lacks characteristic Langerhansrsquo cells) This

              morphologic group may pose diagnostic challenges

              because of the absence of interstitial inflammatory

              changes despite the radiologic and functional impres-

              sion of ILD

              Diseases that involve the small arteries and veins

              of the lung can be subtle when viewed from low

              magnification under the microscope (Fig 56) This is

              not to imply that the entities of pulmonary hyper-

              tension capillary hemangiomatosis and veno-occlu-

              sive disease are always subtle (Fig 57) A complete

              discussion of these disease conditions is beyond the

              scope of this article however when the lung biopsy

              has little pathology evident at scanning magnifica-

              formation of cysts [170ndash173] The disease is

              centered on lymphatic channels blood vessels and

              airways LAM is a disease of women typically in

              their childbearing years The disease does occur in

              older women and rarely in men [174] There is a

              strong association between the inherited genetic

              disorder known as tuberous sclerosis complex and

              the occurrence of LAM Most patients with LAM do

              not have tuberous sclerosis complex but approxi-

              mately one fourth of patients with tuberous sclerosis

              complex have LAM as diagnosed by chest HRCT

              [175] The most common presenting symptoms are

              spontaneous pneumothorax and exertional dyspnea

              Others symptoms include chyloptosis hemoptysis

              and chest pain The characteristic findings on CT are

              numerous cysts separated by normal-appearing lung

              parenchyma The cysts range from 2 to 10 mm in

              diameter and are seen much better with HRCT

              [171176]

              The appearance of the abnormal smooth muscle in

              LAM is sufficiently characteristic so that once

              recognized it is rarely forgotten Cystic spaces are

              present at low magnification (Fig 58) The walls of

              these spaces have variable amounts of bundled

              spindled cells (Fig 59) The nuclei of these spindled

              cells (Fig 60) are larger than those of normal smooth

              muscle bundles seen around alveolar ducts or in the

              walls of airways or vessels Immunohistochemical

              related diseases the first of which is related to DIP

              and likely represents an earlier stage or alternate

              Respiratory bronchiolitisndashassociated interstitial lung

              disease

              Respiratory bronchiolitis is a common finding in

              the lungs of cigarette smokers and some investiga-

              tors consider this lesion to be a precursor of centri-

              acinar emphysema Respiratory bronchiolitis affects

              the terminal airways and is characterized by delicate

              fibrous bands that radiate from the peribronchiolar

              connective tissue into the surrounding lung (Fig 64)

              Dusty appearing tan-brown pigmented alveolar

              macrophages are present in the adjacent airspaces

              and a mild amount of interstitial chronic inflamma-

              tion is present Bronchiolar metaplasia (extension of

              terminal airway epithelium to alveolar ducts) is

              usually present to some degree In the bronchioles

              submucosal fibrosis may be present but constrictive

              changes are not a characteristic finding When

              respiratory bronchiolitis becomes extensive and

              patients have signs and symptoms of ILD use of

              the term RB-ILD has been suggested [180181] The

              exact relationship between RB-ILD and DIP is

              unclear and in smokers these two conditions are

              probably part of a continuous spectrum of disease

              Symptoms of RB-ILD include dyspnea excess

              sputum production and cough [182] Rarely patients

              may be asymptomatic Men are slightly more

              Fig 64 Respiratory bronchiolitis affects the terminal

              airways of smokers and is characterized by delicate fibrous

              bands that radiate from the peribronchiolar connective tissue

              into the surrounding lung Scant peribronchiolar chronic

              inflammation is typically present and brown pigmented

              macrophages are present in the airspaces around the

              terminal airways with variable bronchiolar metaplasia

              and more interstitial fibrosis than seen in simple respira-

              tory bronchiolitis

              commonly affected than women and the mean age of

              onset is approximately 36 years (range 22ndash53 years)

              The average pack year smoking history is 32 (range

              7ndash75)

              Most patients with respiratory bronchiolitis alone

              have normal radiologic studies The most common

              findings in RB-ILD include thickening of the

              bronchial walls ground-glass opacities and poorly

              defined centrilobular nodular opacities [183] Be-

              cause most patients with RB-ILD are heavy smokers

              centrilobular emphysema is common

              On histopathologic examination lightly pig-

              mented macrophages are present in the airspaces

              around the terminal airways with variable bronchiolar

              metaplasia (Fig 65) Iron stains may reveal delicate

              positive staining within these cells The relatively

              patchy nature of the disease is important in differ-

              entiating RB-ILD from DIP (Fig 66) A spectrum of

              pathologic severity emerges with isolated lesions of

              respiratory bronchiolitis on one end and diffuse

              macrophage accumulation in DIP on the other RB-

              ILD exists somewhere in between The diagnosis of

              RB-ILD should be reserved for situations in which

              respiratory bronchiolitis is prominent with associated

              clinical and pathologic ILD [184] No other cause for

              ILD should be apparent The prognosis is excellent

              and there does not seem to be evidence for pro-

              gression to end-stage fibrosis in the absence of other

              lung disease

              Pulmonary Langerhansrsquo cell histiocytosis

              PLCH (formerly known as pulmonary eosino-

              philic granuloma or pulmonary histiocytosis X) is

              currently recognized as a lung disease strongly

              associated with cigarette smoking Proliferation of

              Langerhansrsquo cells is associated with the formation of

              stellate airway-centered lung scars and cystic change

              in affected individuals The incidence of the disease is

              unknown but it is generally considered to be a rare

              complication of cigarette smoking [185]

              PLCH affects smokers between the ages of 20 and

              40 The most common presenting symptom is cough

              with dyspnea but some patients may be asymptom-

              atic despite chest radiographic abnormalities Chest

              pain fever weight loss and hemoptysis have been

              reported to occur HRCT scan shows nearly patho-

              gnomonic changes including predominately upper

              and middle lung zone nodules and cysts [185186]

              Fig 67 Characteristically the nodules have a stellate

              shape and are always centered on the bronchioles

              directed against S100 protein and CD1a is helpful in

              Immunohistochemistry for S-100 protein and CD1a

              may be used to confirm the diagnosis but this is

              usually unnecessary and even may be confounding in

              late lesions in which Langerhansrsquo cells may be

              sparse and the stellate scar is the diagnostic lesion

              Up to 20 of transbronchial biopsies in patients

              with Langerhansrsquo cell histiocytosis may have diag-

              nostic changes The presence of more than 5

              Langerhansrsquo cells in bronchoalveolar lavage is

              considered diagnostic of Langerhansrsquo cell histiocy-

              tosis in the appropriate clinical setting Unfortunately

              cigarette smokers without Langerhansrsquo cell histiocy-

              tosis also may have increased numbers of Langer-

                described over the years the mildest of which has

                been referred to as Loeffler syndrome or simple

                eosinophilic pneumonia Ascaris infestation was

                documented eventually in the initial series by

                Loeffler which led to the hypothesis that simple

                eosinophilic pneumonia was a manifestation of

                hypersensitivity to Ascaris antigens

                The second form occurs commonly in patients

                with asthma presumably as an allergic manifestation

                to an unknown antigen The clinical course is more

                chronic and typically evolves slowly over many

                months Patients with the lsquolsquochronicrsquorsquo form of eosino-

                philic pneumonia may have a typical clinical syn-

                drome and radiographic appearance [16]

                Finally a dramatic new manifestation of idio-

                pathic eosinophilic lung disease has been described

                that is characterized by rapid onset of breathlessness

                in an otherwise healthy young adult without asthma

                [17] This form may mimic DAD clinically and patho-

                logically even with the presence of hyaline mem-

                branes The importance of recognizing this entity lies

                in its excellent prognosis and characteristic rapid

                response to corticosteroid therapy

                Some other well-recognized associations have

                been described with eosinophilic pneumonia The

                best example is that produced by sensitivity to nitro-

                furantoin and other drugs Eosinophilic pneumonia in

                the presence of asthma may be a manifestation of

                hypersensitivity to aspergillus and other fungal organ-

                isms (eg allergic bronchopulmonary fungal disease)

                The histopathologic features of eosinophilic pneu-

                monia include intra-alveolar eosinophils fibrin and

                plump eosinophilic macrophages surrounded by

                striking reactive type II cell hyperplasia (Fig 9)

                Acute fibrinous pleuritis may occur Eosinophilic

                microabscesses and eosinophilic vasculitis may be

                present but are not necessary for the diagnosis

                The most common acute manifestation of the

                collagen vascular diseases is DAD but diffuse

                Rheumatoid arthritis

                Nearly one-half of all patients with rheumatoid

                arthritis (RA) develop one or more forms of

                rheumatoid lung disease [18] and patients with more

                severe joint involvement are more likely to develop

                pleuropulmonary manifestations Lung disease typi-

                cally follows the development of joint disease but

                occasionally the lung or pleura may herald the

                RA [19]

                Systemic lupus erythematosus

                Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) also com-

                monly involves the lungs and pleura [18] Painful

                pleuritis with or without effusion is the most common

                abnormality [20] but acute lupus pneumonitis is a

                potentially disastrous complication with a mortality

                rate of 50 [21] Acute lupus pneumonitis is

                characterized morphologically by DAD Diffuse

                pulmonary hemorrhage also may occur usually

                accompanied by vasculitis and capillaritis (Fig 11)

                Immune complexes may be identified on capillary

                basement membranes in this setting [22]

                Dermatomyositis-polymyositis

                DAD is not common in dermatomyositis-poly-

                myositis but the clinical presentation may be

                particularly dramatic Tazelaar et al [23] presented

                14 patients with dermatomyositis-polymyositis who

                developed lung disease Three patients developed

                DAD all of whom died most frequently in the acute

                episode The authors also reviewed 27 additional

                cases of dermatomyositis-polymyositis lung disease

                reported in the literature and found similar results

                DAD may be the first clinical manifestation of

                dermatomyositis-polymyositis and may precede the

                clinical and serologic diagnosis of the disease by

                dence of infection Like DAD acute fibrinous and

                organizing pneumonia can be idiopathic or associated

                with several underlying or associated conditions

                such as collagen vascular disease drug reaction

                and occupational exposures Survival is similar to

                DAD in general but the requirement for mechanical

                ventilation was associated with a worse prognosis

                Acute diffuse alveolar hemorrhage

                Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is character-

                ized by a triad of (1) hemoptysis (2) anemia and

                (3) bilateral ground-glass opacities (or consolidation)

                that rapidly wax and wane Hemorrhage and hemo-

                siderin-laden macrophages in alveolar spaces are

                essential to the pathologic diagnosis [25ndash27] In

                practice artifactual hemorrhage can occur commonly

                in lung biopsy specimens Hemosiderin-laden macro-

                phages (with coarsely granular golden-brown refrac-

                tile pigment) always should be present in the alveolar

                spaces before one invokes the diagnosis of DAH

                (Fig 13) The differential diagnosis of DAH is pre-

                Antiglomerular basement membrane disease

                (Goodpasturersquos syndrome)

                When diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage occurs with

                renal disease in the presence of circulating antibodies

                against glomerular basement membranes the con-

                dition is referred to as antiglomerular basement

                membrane disease [28ndash31] Lung biopsy is less

                desirable than kidney as a diagnostic specimen in

                Fig 13 DAH Fresh blood in the lung is not sufficient

                evidence for a diagnosis of DAH Hemosiderin-laden

                macrophages with coarsely granular golden-brown refractile

                pigment always should be present

                antiglomerular basement membrane disease but

                because renal disease is commonly occult at the time

                of presentation the lung is often the first tissue

                sample examined by the pathologist Unfortunately

                the lung findings are relatively nonspecific and

                consist of fresh alveolar hemorrhage hemosiderin

                deposition in macrophages (siderophages) and vari-

                able interstitial inflammation with delicate interstitial

                fibrosis (Fig 14) The presence of capillaritis in the

                alveolar wall is also helpful in distinguishing anti-

                glomerular basement membrane disease from idio-

                pathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) and chronic

                passive lung congestion The results of immunofluo-

                rescent studies on lung tissue are not as reliable as

                they are on kidney tissue [30] and for cost-effective

                IPH occurs most commonly in children younger

                pneumonia

                The term lsquolsquoacute interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo was first

                introduced in 1986 to describe a syndrome of rapidly

                evolving acute respiratory failure that occurred in

                immunocompetent individuals [32] The patients

                described included three men and five women (two

                of whom were pregnant) who developed sudden

                unexplained respiratory failure Six reported a viral-

                like prodrome None of the patients was reported to

                have underlying collagen vascular disease By

                definition acute interstitial pneumonia is of unknown

                cause and is a diagnosis of exclusion The usual

                causes of ARDS must be absent (ie shock sepsis

                trauma aspiration or drug toxicity)

                Surgical lung biopsies show DAD in varying

                stages (Fig 17) The changes observed in biopsy

                specimens depend on the stage at which the biopsy is

                taken and tend to be relatively diffuse throughout the

                specimen Like other forms of DAD the early stages

                show an exudative phase with edema and hyaline

                membranes Bronchioles may show squamous meta-

                plasia that extend peripherally to involve adjacent

                alveolar walls Organizing arterial thrombi were seen

                in five of the seven patients who died in the Kat-

                zenstein series [32] In the last stages fibrosis distorts

                the lung architecture

                Collagen vascular disease or allergic disorders

                may be responsible for many cases of acute inter-

                stitial pneumonia although they may not be clinically

                apparent at the time of presentation acute interstitial

                pneumonia has been formally added to the classi-

                disease with fibrosis

                Pulmonary fibrosis in the systemic connective tissue

                diseases

                The collagen vascular diseases as a group involve

                the respiratory system frequently Each of these

                diseases may involve the lung and pleura in several

                different ways Although the lung morphologic

                abnormalities are not specific for any one of these

                diseases some features are more commonly mani-

                fested than others in each of them (Table 4) A few of

                the more prominent collagen vascular diseases known

                to produce fibrosis are presented herein

                Rheumatoid arthritis

                The most common thoracic complication of RA is

                pleural disease (effusion or pleuritis) which is seen in

                as much as 50 of patients in autopsy studies

                According to a study by Walker and Wright [33]

                approximately one-third of the patients with pleural

                effusions also have pulmonary manifestations of RA

                in the form of nodules or interstitial disease Nodules

                may be seen in the lung parenchyma and occasionally

                in the walls of airways in persons with RA which

                represents lymphoid hyperplasia with germinal cen-

                ters in most instances (Fig 18) The interstitial

                pneumonia of RA may be cellular with little fibrosis

                (cellular NSIP-like see later discussion) fibrotic with

                honeycomb cystic remodeling (UIP-like see later

                discussion) and occasionally may have a macro-

                phage-rich DIP pattern (discussed in Pattern 4) [19]

                Fig 17 Acute interstitial pneumonia Surgical lung biopsies show diffuse alveolar damage in varying stages In the earliest

                manifestation (A) edema in the alveolar spaces and interstitium is typical with hyaline membranes and preservation of the

                alveolar spaces As the process evolves (2ndash4 days after onset) hyaline membranes become thicker and there is greater cellularity

                in the interstitium as inflammatory cells begin to accrue (B) By the end of the first week (C) alveolar spaces are overwhelmed

                by reparative changes with myofibroblasts that produce an organizing pneumonia pattern Over the next weeks (D) the

                myofibroblasts become incorporated into the interstitium as the best outcome with reconstitution of the alveolar architecture

                Systemic lupus erythematosus

                Similar to RA SLE also commonly involves the

                respiratory system [18] Painful pleuritis with or

                without effusion is the most common abnormality

                [20] Noninfectious organizing pneumonia also has

                been reported and advanced fibrosis with honey-

                comb remodeling occurs (Fig 19) [34]

                Progressive systemic sclerosis

                The most notable feature of lsquolsquoscleroderma lungrsquorsquo

                is the presence of extensive alveolar wall fibrosis

                without much inflammation (Fig 20) [35] Some

                degree of diffuse lung fibrosis occurs in nearly every

                patient with pulmonary involvement [18] Patients

                with longstanding progressive systemic sclerosisndash

                related lung fibrosis are at high risk of developing

                bronchoalveolar carcinoma Vascular sclerosis usu-

                ally without true vasculitis is typical if sufficiently

                severe it produces pulmonary hypertension [36]

                Pleural disease is less common in progressive

                systemic sclerosis than in RA or SLE

                Mixed connective tissue disease

                Mixed connective tissue disease is relatively

                common in producing interstitial pulmonary disease

                or pleural effusions [18] In many cases the

                abnormalities respond well to corticosteroid therapy

                DermatomyositisPolymyositis

                ings seen on biopsy seem to be better predictors of

                pneumonia pattern has been associated with the best

                prognosis whereas the worst prognosis has been

                associated with advanced lung fibrosis [23]

                Sjogrenrsquos syndrome

                The common pulmonary lesions of Sjogrenrsquos

                syndrome generally evolve over weeks to months

                and are analogous to the disease manifestations in the

                salivary glands The range of disease patterns in

                Sjogrenrsquos syndrome is broad especially when Sjog-

                renrsquos syndrome is accompanied by other connective

                tissue disease A hallmark of pure Sjogrenrsquos syndrome

                in the lung is marked lymphoreticular infiltrates in

                the submucosal glands of the tracheobronchial tree

                (Fig 21) [18] Patients with Sjogrenrsquos syndrome also

                are at risk for LIP and occasionally develop lympho-

                proliferative disorders that involve the pulmonary

                interstitium ranging from relatively low-grade extra-

                nodal marginal zone lymphoma (MALToma) to a

                high-grade lymphoma Advanced lung fibrosis also

                occurs as pleuropulmonary manifestation in Sjogrenrsquos

                syndrome (Fig 22) [3839]

                Certain chronic drug reactions

                Many drugs are reported to produce lung fibrosis

                thioprine methotrexate melphalan and mitomycin C

                and the reader is referred to on-line resources such

                mycin is presented in this article because it causes sub-

                acute and chronic toxicity and has been used widely

                as an experimental model of pulmonary fibrosis

                Bleomycin

                Bleomycin is an antineoplastic agent that becomes

                concentrated in skin lungs and lymphatic fluid

                Pulmonary lesions may be dose-related [4041] and

                prior radiotherapy seems to predispose to toxicity

                [42] The initial site of injury in experimental models

                seems to be the venous endothelial cell [43] but type I

                cell injury allows fibrin and other serum proteins to

                leak into the alveolus Type II cell hyperplasia occurs

                as a regenerative phenomenon that results in atypical

                enlarged forms and intra-alveolar fibroplasia occurs

                (often in a subpleural distribution) eventually result-

                Perhaps the most important finding in the Katzen-

                patients had morbidity and mortality rates signifi-

                cantly different from that of UIP in which reported

                mortality figures were more in the range of 90 with

                median survival in the range of 3 years Only 5 of 48

                patients with clinical follow-up died of progressive

                lung disease (11) whereas 39 patients either

                recovered or were alive with stable lung disease

                For the patients with follow-up no deaths were

                reported in group I patients whereas 3 patients from

                group II and 2 patients from group III died

                Unfortunately a significant number of patients were

                lost to follow-up and mean lengths of follow-up

                varied Since 1994 there have been several additional

                reported series of patients with NSIP [54ndash61] with

                variable reported survival rates (Table 5) Deaths

                Currently UIP has been restricted to a subset of the

                encompassed by this term [114]

                UIP is a disease of older individuals typically

                older than 50 years [62] Men are slightly more

                been reported as 42 years in a population-based

                HRCT has added a new dimension to the diagnosis

                of UIP The abnormalities are most prominent at the

                periphery of the lungs and in the lung bases

                regardless of the stage [64] Irregular linear opacities

                result in a reticular pattern [64] Advanced lung

                remodeling with cyst formation (honeycombing) is

                seen in approximately 90 of patients at presentation

                [65] Ground-glass opacities can be seen in approxi-

                mately 80 of cases of UIP but are seldom extensive

                The gross examination of the lung often reveals a

                characteristic nodular external surface (Fig 29)

                Histopathologically UIP is best envisioned as a

                smoldering alveolitis of unknown cause accompanied

                by microscopic foci of injury repair and lung

                remodeling with dense fibrosis The disease begins

                at the periphery of the pulmonary lobule and has a

                consistent tendency to leave lung fibrosis and honey-

                comb cystic lung remodeling in its wake as it

                progresses from the periphery to the center of the

                lobule (Fig 30) This transition from dense fibrosis

                with or without honeycombing to near normal lung

                through an intermediate stage of alveolar organization

                and inflammation is the histologic hallmark of so-

                called lsquolsquotemporal heterogeneityrsquorsquo Thick irregular

                bundles of smooth muscle typically are present within

                areas of fibrosis (Fig 31) presumably arising as a

                consequence of progressive parenchymal collapse

                with incorporation of native airway and vascular

                smooth muscle into fibrosis Less well-recognized

                additional features of UIP are distortion and narrow-

                ing of bronchioles together with peribronchiolar

                fibrosis and inflammation This observation likely

                accounts for the functional evidence of small airway

                fever elevation of the sedimentation rate marked

                increase in dyspnea and new infiltrates that often

                have an lsquolsquoalveolarrsquorsquo character radiologically For

                many years this manifestation was believed to be

                infectious pneumonia (possibly viral) superimposed

                on a fibrotic lung with marginal reserve Because

                cases are sufficiently common organisms are rarely

                identified and a small percentage of patients respond

                to pulse systemic corticosteroid therapy many inves-

                tigators consider such exacerbation to be a form of

                fulminant progression of the disease process itself

                Overall acute exacerbation has a poor prognosis and

                death within 1 week is not unusual Pathologically

                acute lung injury that resembles DAD or organizing

                pneumonia is superimposed on a background of

                peripherally accentuated lobular fibrosis with honey-

                tissue sections using the Masson trichrome stain for

                collagen (Fig 32) That acute exacerbation is a real

                phenomenon in IPF is underscored by the results of a

                bodied in this pattern in which mononuclear in-

                the immunologic mechanisms have not been well

                documented in all conditions [68] The prototypic

                example is so-called lsquolsquofarmerrsquos lungrsquorsquo which is

                caused by hypersensitivity to thermophilic actino-

                The radiologic appearance depends on the stage of

                the disease In the acute stage airspace consolidation

                is the dominant feature In the subacute stage there is

                a fine nodular pattern or ground-glass opacification

                The chronic stage is dominated by fibrosis with

                ute lung injury that resembles DAD or organizing pneumonia

                The classic histologic features of hypersensitivity

                pneumonia are presented in Table 6 Because biopsy

                is typically performed in the subacute phase the

                picture is usually one of a chronic inflammatory

                interstitial infiltrate with lymphocytes and variable

                numbers of plasma cells Lung structure is preserved

                and alveoli usually can be distinguished A few

                scattered poorly formed granulomas are seen in the

                interstitium (Fig 33) The epithelioid cells in the

                lsquolsquogranulomasrsquorsquo are loosely aggregated and mixed with

                lymphocytes Characteristically scattered giant cells

                of the foreign body type are seen around terminal

                airways and may contain cleft-like spaces or small

                particles that are doubly refractile (Fig 34) Terminal

                airways display chronic inflammation of their walls

                (bronchiolitis) often with destruction distortion and

                even occlusion Pale or lightly eosinophilic vacuo-

                lated macrophages are typically found in alveolar

                spaces and are a common sign of bronchiolar

                obstruction Similar macrophages also are seen within

                alveolar walls

                their presence is not sufficient to warrant a diagnosis

                of amiodarone toxicity [83] Pleural inflammation

                LIP is a clinical pathologic entity that fits

                descriptively within the chronic interstitial pneumo-

                nias By consensus LIP has been included in the

                current classification of the idiopathic interstitial

                pneumonias despite decades of controversy about

                what diseases are encompassed by this term In 1969

                Liebow and Carrington [3] briefly presented a group

                of patients and used the term LIP to describe their

                biopsy findings The defining criteria were morphol-

                ogic and included lsquolsquoan exquisitely interstitial infil-

                tratersquorsquo that was described as generally polymorphous

                and consisted of lymphocytes plasma cells and large

                mononuclear cells (Fig 38) Several associated

                clinical conditions have been described including

                connective tissue diseases bone marrow transplanta-

                tion acquired and congenital immunodeficiency

                syndromes and diffuse lymphoid hyperplasia of the

                intestine This disease is considered idiopathic only

                when a cause or association cannot be identified

                The idiopathic form of LIP occurs most com-

                monly between the ages of 50 and 70 but children

                may be affected Women are more commonly

                affected than men Cough dyspnea and progressive

                LIP is best thought of as a histopathologic pattern

                rather than a diagnosis because LIP as proposed

                initially has morphologic features that are difficult to

                separate accurately from other lymphoplasmacellular

                interstitial infiltrates including low-grade lymphomas

                of extranodal marginal zone type (maltoma) The LIP

                pattern requires clinical and laboratory correlation for

                accurate assessment similar to organizing pneumo-

                nia NSIP and DIP The histopathologic hallmarks of

                cells and histiocytes (Fig 39) Giant cells and small

                granulomas may be present [91] Honeycombing with

                interstitial fibrosis can occur Immunophenotyping

                When LIP accompanies HIV infection a wide age

                range occurs and it is commonly found in children

                [92ndash95] These HIV-infected patients have the same

                that of LIP alone with adults living an average of

                14 months and children an average of 32 months

                Pattern 4 interstitial lung diseases dominated by

                airspace filling

                A significant number of ILDs are attended or

                dominated by the presence of material filling the

                alveolar spaces Depending on the composition of

                this airspace filling process a narrow differential

                diagnosis typically emerges The prototype for the

                airspace filling pattern is organizing pneumonia in

                which immature fibroblasts (myofibroblasts) form

                polypoid growths within the terminal airways and

                alveoli Organizing pneumonia is a common and

                nonspecific reaction to lung injury Other material

                also can occur in the airspaces such as neutrophils in

                the case of bacterial pneumonia proteinaceous

                material in alveolar proteinosis and even bone in

                so-called lsquolsquoracemosersquorsquo or dendritic calcification

                Neutrophils

                When neutrophils fill the alveolar spaces the

                disease is usually acute clinically and bacterial

                pneumonia leads the differential diagnosis (Fig 40)

                Rarely immunologically mediated pulmonary hem-

                orrhage can be associated with brisk episodes of

                neutrophilic capillaritis these cells can shed into the

                alveolar spaces and mimic bronchopneumonia

                niarsquorsquo although many clinicians believe that this is an

                automatic indictment of infection Unfortunately the

                lung has a limited capacity for repair after any injury

                and organizing pneumonia often is a part of this

                process regardless of the exact mechanism of injury

                The more generic term lsquolsquoairspace organizationrsquorsquo is

                preferable but longstanding habits are hard to

                change Some of the more common causes of the

                organizing pneumonia pattern are presented in Box 7

                One particular form of diffuse lung disease is

                characterized by airspace organization and is idio-

                pathic This clinicopathologic condition was previ-

                ously referred to as lsquolsquoidiopathic bronchiolitis obliterans

                organizing pneumoniarsquorsquo (idiopathic BOOP) The name

                of this disorder recently was changed to COP

                Idiopathic cryptogenic organizing pneumonia

                In 1983 Davison et al [97] described a group of

                patients with COP and 2 years later Epler et al [98]

                described similar cases as idiopathic BOOP The pro-

                cess described in these series is believed to be the

                same [1] as those cases described by Liebow and

                Carrington in 1969 as lsquolsquoidiopathic bronchiolitis oblit-

                sonable consensus has emerged regarding what is

                being called COP [97ndash100] King and Mortensen

                [101] recently compiled the findings from 4 major

                case series reported from North America adding 18

                of their own cases (112 cases in all) Based on

                these compiled data the following description of

                COP emerges

                The evolution of clinical symptoms is subacute

                (4 months on average and 3 months in most) and

                follows a flu-like illness in 40 of cases The average

                age at presentation is 58 years (range 21ndash80 years)

                and there is no sex predominance Dyspnea and

                cough are present in half the patients Fever is

                common and leukocytosis occurs in approximately

                one fourth The erythrocyte sedimentation rate is

                typically elevated [102] Clubbing is rare Restrictive

                lung disease is present in approximately half of the

                patients with COP and the diffusing capacity is

                reduced in most Airflow obstruction is mild and

                typically affects patients who are smokers

                Chest radiographs show patchy bilateral (some-

                times unilateral) nonsegmental airspace consolidation

                [103] which may be migratory and similar to those of

                eosinophilic pneumonia Reticulation may be seen in

                10 to 40 of patients but rarely is predominant

                [103104] The most characteristic HRCT features of

                COP are patchy unilateral or bilateral areas of

                consolidation which have a predominantly peribron-

                chial or subpleural distribution (or both) in approxi-

                mately 60 of cases In 30 to 50 of cases small

                ill-defined nodules (3ndash10 mm in diameter) are seen

                [105ndash108] and a reticular pattern is seen in 10 to

                30 of cases

                The major histopathologic feature of COP is

                alveolar space organization (so-called lsquolsquoMasson

                bodiesrsquorsquo) but it also extends to involve alveolar ducts

                and respiratory bronchioles in which the process has

                a characteristic polypoid and fibromyxoid appearance

                (Fig 41) The parenchymal involvement tends to be

                patchy All of the organization seems to be recent

                Unfortunately the term BOOP has become one of the

                most commonly misused descriptions in lung pathol-

                ogy much to the dismay of clinicians Pathologists

                use the term to describe nonspecific organization that

                occurs in alveolar ducts and alveolar spaces of lung

                biopsies Clinicians hear the term BOOP or BOOP

                pattern and often interpret this as a clinical diagnosis

                of idiopathic BOOP Because of this misuse there is a

                growing consensus [101109] regarding use of the

                term COP to describe the clinicopathologic entity for

                the following reasons (1) Although COP is primarily

                an organizing pneumonia in up to 30 or more of

                cases granulation tissue is not present in membra-

                in respiratory bronchioles [97] (2) The term lsquolsquobron-

                chiolitis obliteransrsquorsquo has been used in so many

                different ways that it has become a highly ambiguous

                term (3) Bronchiolitis generally produces obstruction

                to airflow and COP is primarily characterized by a

                restrictive defect

                The expected prognosis of COP is relatively good

                In 63 of affected patients the condition resolves

                mainly as a response to systemic corticosteroids

                Twelve percent die typically in approximately

                3 months The disease persists in the remaining sub-

                set or relapses if steroids are tapered too quickly

                Patients with COP who fare poorly frequently have

                comorbid disorders such as connective tissue disease

                or thyroiditis or have been taking nitrofurantoin

                [110] A recent study showed that the presence of

                reticular opacities in a patient with COP portended

                a worse prognosis [111]

                Macrophages

                Macrophages are an integral part of the lungrsquos

                defense system These cells are migratory and

                generally do not accumulate in the lung to a

                significant degree in the absence of obstruction of

                the airways or other pathology In smokers dusty

                brown macrophages tend to accumulate around the

                terminal airways and peribronchiolar alveolar spaces

                and in association with interstitial fibrosis The

                cigarette smokingndashrelated airway disease known as

                respiratory bronchiolitisndashassociated ILD is discussed

                later in this article with the smoking-related ILDs

                Beyond smoking some infectious diseases are

                characterized by a prominent alveolar macrophage

                reaction such as the malacoplakia-like reaction to

                Rhodococcus equi infection in the immunocompro-

                mised host or the mucoid pneumonia reaction to

                cryptococcal pneumonia Conditions associated with

                a DIP-like reaction are presented in Box 8

                Eosinophilic pneumonia

                Acute eosinophilic pneumonia was discussed

                earlier with the acute ILDs but the acute and chronic

                forms of eosinophilic pneumonia often are accom-

                panied by a striking macrophage reaction in the

                airspaces Different from the macrophages in a

                patient with smoking-related macrophage accumula-

                tion the macrophages of eosinophilic pneumonia

                tend to have a brightly eosinophilic appearance and

                are plump with dense cytoplasm Multinucleated

                forms may occur and the macrophages may aggre-

                gate in sufficient density to suggest granulomas in the

                alveolar spaces When this occurs a careful search

                for eosinophils in the alveolar spaces and reactive

                type II cell hyperplasia is often helpful in distinguish-

                ing eosinophilic lung disease from other conditions

                characterized by a histiocytic reaction

                Idiopathic desquamative interstitial pneumonia

                In 1965 Liebow et al [112] described 18 cases of

                diffuse lung diseases that differed in many respects

                from UIP The striking histologic feature was the pre-

                sence of numerous cells filling the airspaces Liebow

                et al believed that the cells were chiefly desquamated

                alveolar epithelial lining cells and coined the term

                lsquolsquodesquamative interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo It is currently

                known that these cells are predominately macro-

                phages however [113] DIP and the cigarette smok-

                ingndashrelated disease known as RB-ILD are believed to

                be similar if not identical diseases possibly repre-

                senting different expressions of disease severity [115]

                RB-ILD is discussed later in this article in the section

                on smoking-related diffuse lung disease

                The patients described by Liebow et al [112] were

                on average slightly younger than patients with UIP

                and their symptoms were usually milder Clubbing

                was uncommon but in later series some patients with

                clubbing were identified [4] Most patients have a

                subacute lung disease of weeks to months of evo-

                lution The predominant finding on the radiograph and

                HRCT in patients with DIP consists of ground-glass

                opacities particularly at the bases and at the costo-

                phrenic angles [115] Some patients have mild reticu-

                lar changes superimposed on ground-glass opacities

                In lung biopsy the scanning magnification

                appearance of DIP is striking (Fig 42) The alveolar

                spaces are filled with lightly pigmented (brown)

                macrophages and multinucleated cells are commonly

                (brown) macrophages and multinucleated cells are commonly pre

                present Additional important features include the

                relative preservation of lung architecture with only

                mild thickening of alveolar walls and absence of

                severe fibrosis or honeycombing [116ndash118] Inter-

                stitial mononuclear inflammation is seen sometimes

                with scattered lymphoid follicles The histologic

                appearance of DIP is not specific It is commonly

                present in other diffuse and localized lung diseases

                including UIP asbestosis [119] and other dust-

                related diseases [120] DIP-like reactions occur after

                nitrofurantoin therapy [121122] and in alveolar

                spaces adjacent to the nodules of PLCH (see later

                section on smoking-related diseases)

                Cases have been reported in which classic DIP

                lsquolsquoprogressed to fibrosing alveolitisrsquorsquo [117123] It

                seems clear that DIP represents a nonspecific reaction

                and more commonly occurs in smokers It is critical

                to distinguish between DIP and UIP especially

                because these diseases are regarded as different from

                one another Research has shown conclusively that

                the clinical features are different the prognosis is

                much better in DIP and DIP may respond to

                corticosteroid administration [124] whereas UIP

                does not [62]

                Proteinaceous material

                When eosinophilic material fills the alveolar

                spaces the differential diagnosis includes pulmonary

                edema and alveolar proteinosis

                Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis

                PAP (alveolar lipoproteinosis) is a rare diffuse

                accumulation of lipid-rich eosinophilic material

                [125] PAP likely occurs as a result of overproduction

                of surfactant by type II cells impaired clearance of

                surfactant by alveolar macrophages or a combination

                of these mechanisms The disease can occur as an

                idiopathic form but also occurs in the settings of

                occupational disease (especially dust-related) drug-

                induced injury hematologic diseases and in many

                settings of immunodeficiency [125ndash128] PAP is

                commonly associated with exposure to inhaled

                crystalline material and silica although other sub-

                stances have been implicated [126] The idiopathic

                form is the most common presentation with a male

                predominance and an age range of 30 to 50 years

                The usual presenting symptom is insidious dyspnea

                sometimes with cough [129] although the clinical

                symptoms are often less dramatic than the radio-

                logic abnormalities

                Chest radiographs show extensive bilateral air-

                space consolidation that involves mainly the perihilar

                regions CT demonstrates what seems to be smooth

                thickening of lobular septa that is not seen on the

                chest radiograph The thickening of lobular septae

                within areas of ground-glass attenuation is character-

                istic of alveolar proteinosis on CT and is referred to as

                lsquolsquocrazy pavingrsquorsquo [130] The areas of ground-glass

                attenuation and consolidation are often sharply

                demarcated from the surrounding normal lung with-

                out an apparent anatomic correlation [130ndash132]

                Histopathologically the scanning magnification

                appearance is distinctive if not diagnostic Pink

                granular material fills the airspaces often with a

                rim of retraction that separates the alveolar wall

                The idiopathic form of PAP has an excellent

                prognosis Many patients are only mildly symptom-

                atic In patients with severe dyspnea and hypoxemia

                treatment can be accomplished with one or more

                sessions of whole lung lavage which usually induces

                remission and excellent long-term survival [133]

                Pattern 5 interstitial lung diseases dominated by

                nodules

                Some ILDs are dominated by or significantly

                associated with nodules For most of the diffuse

                ILDs the nodules are small and appreciated best

                under the microscope In some instances nodules

                may be sufficiently large and diffuse in distribution

                that they are identified on HRCT In others cases a

                few large nodules may be present in two or more

                lobes or bilaterally (eg Wegener granulomatosis) For

                neoplasms that diffusely involve the lung the nodular

                pattern is overwhelmingly represented (eg lymphan-

                gitic carcinomatosis) The differential diagnosis of the

                Most nodular granulomatous reactions in the lung

                are of infectious origin until proven otherwise

                especially in the presence of necrosis The infectious

                diseases that characteristically produce well-formed

                granulomas are typically caused by mycobacteria

                fungi and rarely bacteria Sometimes Pneumocystis

                infection produces a nodular pattern A list of the

                Sarcoidosis

                Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease

                of uncertain origin The disease commonly affects the

                lungs [134135] The origin pathogenesis and

                epidemiology of sarcoidosis suggest that it is a

                disorder of immune regulation [136ndash138] The

                observation that sarcoid granulomas recur after lung

                transplantation [139ndash141] seems to underscore fur-

                ther the notion that this is an acquired systemic

                abnormality of immunity It also emphasizes the fact

                that even profound immunosuppression (such as that

                used in transplantation) may be ineffective in halting

                disease progression for the subset whose condition

                persists and progresses to lung fibrosis

                Sarcoidosis occurs most frequently in young

                adults but has been described in all ages There is a

                decreased incidence of sarcoidosis in cigarette smok-

                ers Many patients with intrathoracic sarcoidosis are

                symptom free Systemic manifestations may be

                identified (in decreasing frequency) in lymph nodes

                eyes liver skin spleen salivary glands bone heart

                and kidneys Breathlessness is the most common

                pulmonary symptom

                The chest radiographic appearance is often char-

                acteristic with a combination of symmetrical bilateral

                hilar and paratracheal lymph node enlargement

                together with a varied pattern of parenchymal

                involvement including linear nodular and ground-

                glass opacities [142] In approximately 25 of the

                patients the radiographic appearance is atypical and

                in approximately 10 it is normal [143] Staging of

                the disease is based on pattern of involvement on

                plain chest radiographs only [135142]

                The histopathologic hallmark of sarcoidosis is the

                presence of well-formed granulomas without necrosis

                (Fig 45) Granulomas are classically distributed

                along lymphatic channels of the bronchovascular

                bundles interlobular septa and pleura (Fig 46) The

                area between granulomas is frequently sclerotic and

                adjacent small granulomas tend to coalesce into larger

                nodules Because of involvement of the broncho-

                vascular bundles and the characteristic histology

                sarcoidosis is one of the few diffuse lung diseases

                that can be diagnosed with a high degree of success

                by transbronchial biopsy (Fig 47) [144] Although

                necrosis is not a feature of the disease sometimes

                sarcoidosis is the presence of well-formed granulomas

                bronchial biopsy An interstitial granuloma is present at the

                bifurcation of a bronchiole which makes it an excellent

                can be seen in other granulomatous diseases There

                is a generally held belief that a mild interstitial inflam-

                matory infiltrate accompanies granulomas in sar-

                coidosis [145ndash147] If this lsquolsquointerstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo

                of sarcoidosis exists it is subtle in the best example

                and consists of a few lymphocytes mononuclear

                cells and macrophages

                The prognosis for patients with sarcoidosis is

                excellent The disease typically resolves or improves

                progresses A characteristic low magnification ap-

                pearance is that of nodular bronchiolocentric lesions

                (Fig 50) The characteristic and nearly diagnostic

                feature of diffuse panbronchiolitis is the accumulation

                of many pale vacuolated macrophages in the walls

                and lumens of respiratory bronchioles and in adjacent

                airspaces (Fig 51) Japanese investigators suspect

                that the condition occurs in the United States and has

                been underrecognized This view was substantiated

                Pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis (lym-

                phangitis carcinomatosa) is a form of metastatic

                carcinoma that involves the lung primarily within

                lymphatics The disease produces a miliary nodular

                pattern at scanning magnification Lymphangitic

                carcinoma is typically adenocarcinoma The most

                common sites of origin are breast lung and stomach

                although primary disease in pancreas ovary kidney

                and uterine cervix also can give rise to this

                manifestation of metastatic spread Patients often

                present with insidious onset of dyspnea that is

                frequently accompanied by an irritating cough The

                Kerley B lines subpleural edema and hilar and

                mediastinal lymph node enlargement [154] The

                HRCT findings are highly characteristic and accu-

                rately reflect the microscopic distribution in this

                disease with uneven thickening of the bronchovas-

                cular bundles and lobular septa which gives them a

                beaded appearance [155156]

                Histopathologically malignant tumor cells are

                typically present in small aggregates within lym-

                phatic channels of the bronchovascular sheath and

                pleura (Fig 52) Variable amounts of tumor may be

                present throughout the lung in the interstitium of the

                alveolar walls in the airspaces and in small muscular

                pulmonary arteries This latter finding (microangio-

                pathic obliterative endarteritis) may be the origin of

                the edema inflammation and interstitial fibrosis that

                frequently accompany the disease and likely accounts

                for the clinical and radiologic impression of nonneo-

                Irritants and infections

                Many irritant gases can produce severe bronchi-

                olitis This inflammatory injury may be followed by

                the accumulation of loose granulation tissue and

                finally by complete stenosis and occlusion of the

                airways The best known of these agents are nitrogen

                dioxide [158] sulfur dioxide [159] and ammonia

                [160] Viral infection also can cause permanent

                bronchiolar injury particularly adenovirus infection

                [161] Mycoplasma pneumonia is also cited as a

                potential cause [162] The course of events is similar

                to that for the toxic gases Variable degrees of

                bronchiectasis or bronchioloectasis may occur sec-

                ondarily up- and downstream from the area of

                occlusion Lung biopsy is performed rarely and then

                usually because the patient is young and unusual

                airflow obstruction is present Occasionally mixed

                obstruction and restriction may occur presumably on

                the basis of diffuse peribronchiolar scarring This

                airway-associated scarring may produce CT findings

                of lsquolsquointerstitialrsquorsquo disease The airway lesions are subtle

                but can be recognized by variable reduction in

                bronchiolar luminal diameter compared with the

                adjacent pulmonary artery branch (Normally these

                should be roughly equal in diameter when viewed

                as cross-sections) The diagnosis depends on careful

                clinical correlation and sometimes the addition of a

                comparison between inspiratory and expiratory

                HRCT scans which typically shows prominent

                mosaic air trapping

                Rheumatoid bronchiolitis

                Patients with RA may develop constrictive bron-

                chiolitis as a consequence of their disease In some

                patients small rheumatoid nodules can be seen in the

                walls of airways which results in their partial or total

                occlusion (Fig 53) From a practical point of view

                the lesions are focal within the airways often in small

                bronchi and may not be visualized easily in the

                biopsy specimen Because of the widespread recog-

                nition of rheumatoid bronchiolitis biopsy is rarely

                performed in these patients Morphologically scat-

                tered occlusion of small bronchi and bronchioles is

                observed and is associated with the presence of loose

                connective tissue in their lumens

                Neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia with occlusive

                bronchiolar fibrosis

                In 1992 Aguayo et al [163] reported six patients

                with moderate chronic airflow obstruction all of

                whom never smoked Diffuse neuroendocrine cell

                hyperplasia of the bronchioles associated with partial

                or total occlusion of airway lumens by fibrous tissue

                was present in all six patients (Fig 54) Three of the

                patients also had peripheral carcinoid tumors and

                three had progressive dyspnea

                In a study of 25 peripheral carcinoid tumors that

                occurred in smokers and nonsmokers Miller and

                Muller [164] identified 19 patients (76) with

                neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of the airways which

                occurred mostly in bronchioles Eight patients (32)

                Fig 55 Cryptogenic constrictive bronchiolitis is commonly

                recognized as an expression of chronic organ rejection in the

                setting of lung transplantation (bronchiolitis obliterans

                syndrome) It also occurs on the basis of many other injuries

                and exists as an idiopathic form In this photograph taken

                from a biopsy in a lung transplant patient the bronchiole can

                be seen at center right but the lumen is filled with loose

                fibroblasts (note the adjacent pulmonary artery upper left)

                were found to have occlusive bronchiolar fibrosis

                Four of the 8 had mild chronic airflow obstruction

                and 2 of these 4 patients were nonsmokers

                An increase in neuroendocrine cells was present in

                more than 20 of bronchioles examined in lung

                adjacent to the tumor and in tissue blocks taken well

                away from tumor Less than half of these airways

                were partially or totally occluded The mildest lesion

                consisted of linear zones of neuroendocrine cell

                hyperplasia with focal subepithelial fibrosis The

                most severely involved bronchioles showed total

                luminal occlusion by fibrous tissue with few visible

                neuroendocrine cells

                In both of these studies most of the patients with

                airway neuroendocrine hyperplasia were women Pre-

                sumably fibrosis in this setting of neuroendocrine

                hyperplasia is related to one or more peptides se-

                creted by neuroendocrine cells possibly these cells are

                more effective in stimulating airway fibrosis inwomen

                Cryptogenic constrictive bronchiolitis

                Unexplained chronic airflow obstruction that

                occurs in nonsmokers may be a result of selective

                (and likely multifocal) obliteration of the membra-

                nous bronchioles (constrictive bronchiolitis) In a

                study of 2094 patients with a forced expiratory

                volume in the first second (FEV1) of less than

                60 of predicted [165] 10 patients (9 women) were

                identified They ranged in age from 27 to 60 years

                Five were found to have RA and presumably

                rheumatoid bronchiolitis The other 5 had airflow

                obstruction of unknown cause believed to be caused

                by lsquolsquobronchiolitisrsquorsquo Other studies also identified a

                cryptogenic form of bronchiolar disease that produces

                airflow obstruction [166167] When biopsies have

                been performed constrictive bronchiolitis seems to

                be the common pathologic manifestation (Fig 55)

                It is fair to conclude that a rare but fairly distinct

                clinical syndrome exists that consists of mild airflow

                obstruction and usually affects middle-aged women

                who manifest nonspecific respiratory symptoms

                magnification under the microscope (A) At higher magnification scattered plexiform vascular lesions (B) are present in this

                example of primary pulmonary hypertension

                such as cough and dyspnea It is possible that these

                cryptogenic cases of constrictive bronchiolitis are

                manifestations of undeclared systemic connective

                tissue disease the sequelae of prior undetected

                community-acquired infections (eg viral myco-

                plasmal chlamydial) or exposure to toxin

                Interstitial lung disease dominated by

                airway-associated scarring

                A form of small airway-associated ILD has been

                described in recent years under the names lsquolsquoidiopathic

                bronchiolocentric interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo [168] and

                lsquolsquoairway-centered interstitial fibrosisrsquorsquo [169] Affected

                patients have more of a restrictive than obstructive

                functional deficit and the process is characterized

                histopathologically by the presence of significant

                small airwayndashassociated scarring similar to that seen

                in forms of chronic hypersensitivity pneumonia

                certain chronic inhalational injuries (including sub-

                clinical chronic aspiration pneumonia) and even

                some examples of late-stage inactive PLCH (which

                typically lacks characteristic Langerhansrsquo cells) This

                morphologic group may pose diagnostic challenges

                because of the absence of interstitial inflammatory

                changes despite the radiologic and functional impres-

                sion of ILD

                Vasculopathic disease

                Diseases that involve the small arteries and veins

                of the lung can be subtle when viewed from low

                magnification under the microscope (Fig 56) This is

                not to imply that the entities of pulmonary hyper-

                tension capillary hemangiomatosis and veno-occlu-

                sive disease are always subtle (Fig 57) A complete

                discussion of these disease conditions is beyond the

                scope of this article however when the lung biopsy

                has little pathology evident at scanning magnifica-

                tion a careful evaluation of the pulmonary arteries

                and veins is always in order

                Lymphangioleiomyomatosis

                Pulmonary LAM is a rare disease characterized by

                an abnormal proliferation of smooth muscle cells in

                Fig 59 LAM The walls of these spaces have variable

                amounts of bundled spindled and slightly disorganized

                smooth muscle cells

                the pulmonary interstitium and associated with the

                formation of cysts [170ndash173] The disease is

                centered on lymphatic channels blood vessels and

                airways LAM is a disease of women typically in

                their childbearing years The disease does occur in

                older women and rarely in men [174] There is a

                strong association between the inherited genetic

                disorder known as tuberous sclerosis complex and

                the occurrence of LAM Most patients with LAM do

                not have tuberous sclerosis complex but approxi-

                mately one fourth of patients with tuberous sclerosis

                complex have LAM as diagnosed by chest HRCT

                [175] The most common presenting symptoms are

                spontaneous pneumothorax and exertional dyspnea

                Others symptoms include chyloptosis hemoptysis

                and chest pain The characteristic findings on CT are

                numerous cysts separated by normal-appearing lung

                parenchyma The cysts range from 2 to 10 mm in

                diameter and are seen much better with HRCT

                [171176]

                The appearance of the abnormal smooth muscle in

                LAM is sufficiently characteristic so that once

                recognized it is rarely forgotten Cystic spaces are

                present at low magnification (Fig 58) The walls of

                these spaces have variable amounts of bundled

                spindled cells (Fig 59) The nuclei of these spindled

                cells (Fig 60) are larger than those of normal smooth

                muscle bundles seen around alveolar ducts or in the

                walls of airways or vessels Immunohistochemical

                staining is positive in these cells using antibodies

                directed against the melanoma markers HMB45 and

                Mart-1 (Fig 61) These findings may be useful in the

                evaluation of transbronchial biopsy in which only a

                magnification

                few spindled cells may be present Actin desmin

                estrogen receptors and progesterone receptors also

                can be demonstrated in the spindled cells of LAM

                [177] Other lung parenchymal abnormalities may be

                present including peculiar nodules of hyperplastic

                pneumocytes (Fig 62) that lack immunoreactivity

                for HMB45 or Mart-1 but show immunoreactivity for

                cytokeratins and surfactant apoproteins [178] These

                epithelial lesions have been referred to as lsquolsquomicro-

                Respiratory bronchiolitisndashassociated interstitial lung

                disease

                Respiratory bronchiolitis is a common finding in

                the lungs of cigarette smokers and some investiga-

                tors consider this lesion to be a precursor of centri-

                acinar emphysema Respiratory bronchiolitis affects

                the terminal airways and is characterized by delicate

                fibrous bands that radiate from the peribronchiolar

                connective tissue into the surrounding lung (Fig 64)

                Dusty appearing tan-brown pigmented alveolar

                macrophages are present in the adjacent airspaces

                and a mild amount of interstitial chronic inflamma-

                tion is present Bronchiolar metaplasia (extension of

                terminal airway epithelium to alveolar ducts) is

                usually present to some degree In the bronchioles

                submucosal fibrosis may be present but constrictive

                changes are not a characteristic finding When

                respiratory bronchiolitis becomes extensive and

                patients have signs and symptoms of ILD use of

                the term RB-ILD has been suggested [180181] The

                exact relationship between RB-ILD and DIP is

                unclear and in smokers these two conditions are

                probably part of a continuous spectrum of disease

                Symptoms of RB-ILD include dyspnea excess

                sputum production and cough [182] Rarely patients

                may be asymptomatic Men are slightly more

                On histopathologic examination lightly pig-

                mented macrophages are present in the airspaces

                around the terminal airways with variable bronchiolar

                metaplasia (Fig 65) Iron stains may reveal delicate

                positive staining within these cells The relatively

                patchy nature of the disease is important in differ-

                entiating RB-ILD from DIP (Fig 66) A spectrum of

                pathologic severity emerges with isolated lesions of

                respiratory bronchiolitis on one end and diffuse

                macrophage accumulation in DIP on the other RB-

                ILD exists somewhere in between The diagnosis of

                RB-ILD should be reserved for situations in which

                respiratory bronchiolitis is prominent with associated

                clinical and pathologic ILD [184] No other cause for

                ILD should be apparent The prognosis is excellent

                and there does not seem to be evidence for pro-

                gression to end-stage fibrosis in the absence of other

                lung disease

                Pulmonary Langerhansrsquo cell histiocytosis

                PLCH (formerly known as pulmonary eosino-

                philic granuloma or pulmonary histiocytosis X) is

                currently recognized as a lung disease strongly

                associated with cigarette smoking Proliferation of

                Langerhansrsquo cells is associated with the formation of

                stellate airway-centered lung scars and cystic change

                in affected individuals The incidence of the disease is

                unknown but it is generally considered to be a rare

                complication of cigarette smoking [185]

                is illustrated in this figure Tractional emphysema with cyst

                formation is typical at the perimeter of the lesions Fig 69 PLCH The Langerhansrsquo cell has a slightly pale

                PLCH affects smokers between the ages of 20 and

                40 The most common presenting symptom is cough

                with dyspnea but some patients may be asymptom-

                atic despite chest radiographic abnormalities Chest

                pain fever weight loss and hemoptysis have been

                reported to occur HRCT scan shows nearly patho-

                gnomonic changes including predominately upper

                and middle lung zone nodules and cysts [185186]

                The classic lesion of PLCH is illustrated in

                Fig 67 Characteristically the nodules have a stellate

                shape and are always centered on the bronchioles

                Fig 68 PLCH Immunohistochemistry using antibodies

                directed against S100 protein and CD1a is helpful in

                highlighting numerous positively stained Langerhansrsquo cells

                within the cellular lesions (immunohistochemical stain using

                antibodies directed against S100 protein) (immuno-alkaline

                phosphatase method brown chromogen)

                bers of eosinophils surround and permeate the

                sharp nuclear folds that resemble crumpled tissue

                present Late lesions (so-called lsquolsquoinactiversquorsquo or

                resolved PLCH) consist only of fibrotic centrilobular

                scars [187] with a stellate configuration (Fig 70)

                Microcysts and honeycombing may be present

                Immunohistochemistry for S-100 protein and CD1a

                may be used to confirm the diagnosis but this is

                usually unnecessary and even may be confounding in

                late lesions in which Langerhansrsquo cells may be

                sparse and the stellate scar is the diagnostic lesion

                Up to 20 of transbronchial biopsies in patients

                with Langerhansrsquo cell histiocytosis may have diag-

                nostic changes The presence of more than 5

                Langerhansrsquo cells in bronchoalveolar lavage is

                considered diagnostic of Langerhansrsquo cell histiocy-

                tosis in the appropriate clinical setting Unfortunately

                cigarette smokers without Langerhansrsquo cell histiocy-

                tosis also may have increased numbers of Langer-

                hansrsquo cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage

                  rheumatoid lung disease [18] and patients with more

                  organizing pneumonia can be idiopathic or associated

                  Acute diffuse alveolar hemorrhage

                  Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is character-

                  ized by a triad of (1) hemoptysis (2) anemia and

                  (3) bilateral ground-glass opacities (or consolidation)

                  that rapidly wax and wane Hemorrhage and hemo-

                  siderin-laden macrophages in alveolar spaces are

                  essential to the pathologic diagnosis [25ndash27] In

                  practice artifactual hemorrhage can occur commonly

                  in lung biopsy specimens Hemosiderin-laden macro-

                  phages (with coarsely granular golden-brown refrac-

                  tile pigment) always should be present in the alveolar

                  When diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage occurs with

                  renal disease in the presence of circulating antibodies

                  against glomerular basement membranes the con-

                  dition is referred to as antiglomerular basement

                  membrane disease [28ndash31] Lung biopsy is less

                  desirable than kidney as a diagnostic specimen in

                  macrophages with coarsely granular golden-brown refractile

                  pigment always should be present

                  antiglomerular basement membrane disease but

                  because renal disease is commonly occult at the time

                  of presentation the lung is often the first tissue

                  sample examined by the pathologist Unfortunately

                  the lung findings are relatively nonspecific and

                  consist of fresh alveolar hemorrhage hemosiderin

                  deposition in macrophages (siderophages) and vari-

                  able interstitial inflammation with delicate interstitial

                  fibrosis (Fig 14) The presence of capillaritis in the

                  alveolar wall is also helpful in distinguishing anti-

                  glomerular basement membrane disease from idio-

                  pathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) and chronic

                  passive lung congestion The results of immunofluo-

                  rescent studies on lung tissue are not as reliable as

                  they are on kidney tissue [30] and for cost-effective

                  practice we generally recommend serologic confir-

                  IPH occurs most commonly in children younger

                  described included three men and five women (two

                  disorders are well known to cause scarring in the

                  Pulmonary fibrosis in the systemic connective tissue

                  diseases

                  The collagen vascular diseases as a group involve

                  the respiratory system frequently Each of these

                  diseases may involve the lung and pleura in several

                  different ways Although the lung morphologic

                  abnormalities are not specific for any one of these

                  diseases some features are more commonly mani-

                  fested than others in each of them (Table 4) A few of

                  the more prominent collagen vascular diseases known

                  to produce fibrosis are presented herein

                  Rheumatoid arthritis

                  The most common thoracic complication of RA is

                  pleural disease (effusion or pleuritis) which is seen in

                  as much as 50 of patients in autopsy studies

                  According to a study by Walker and Wright [33]

                  approximately one-third of the patients with pleural

                  effusions also have pulmonary manifestations of RA

                  in the form of nodules or interstitial disease Nodules

                  may be seen in the lung parenchyma and occasionally

                  in the walls of airways in persons with RA which

                  represents lymphoid hyperplasia with germinal cen-

                  ters in most instances (Fig 18) The interstitial

                  pneumonia of RA may be cellular with little fibrosis

                  (cellular NSIP-like see later discussion) fibrotic with

                  honeycomb cystic remodeling (UIP-like see later

                  discussion) and occasionally may have a macro-

                  phage-rich DIP pattern (discussed in Pattern 4) [19]

                  manifestation (A) edema in the alveolar spaces and interstitium is typical with hyaline membranes and preservation of the

                  alveolar spaces As the process evolves (2ndash4 days after onset) hyaline membranes become thicker and there is greater cellularity

                  in the interstitium as inflammatory cells begin to accrue (B) By the end of the first week (C) alveolar spaces are overwhelmed

                  by reparative changes with myofibroblasts that produce an organizing pneumonia pattern Over the next weeks (D) the

                  myofibroblasts become incorporated into the interstitium as the best outcome with reconstitution of the alveolar architecture

                  Systemic lupus erythematosus

                  Similar to RA SLE also commonly involves the

                  respiratory system [18] Painful pleuritis with or

                  without effusion is the most common abnormality

                  [20] Noninfectious organizing pneumonia also has

                  been reported and advanced fibrosis with honey-

                  comb remodeling occurs (Fig 19) [34]

                  Progressive systemic sclerosis

                  The most notable feature of lsquolsquoscleroderma lungrsquorsquo

                  is the presence of extensive alveolar wall fibrosis

                  without much inflammation (Fig 20) [35] Some

                  degree of diffuse lung fibrosis occurs in nearly every

                  patient with pulmonary involvement [18] Patients

                  with longstanding progressive systemic sclerosisndash

                  related lung fibrosis are at high risk of developing

                  bronchoalveolar carcinoma Vascular sclerosis usu-

                  ally without true vasculitis is typical if sufficiently

                  severe it produces pulmonary hypertension [36]

                  Pleural disease is less common in progressive

                  systemic sclerosis than in RA or SLE

                  Mixed connective tissue disease

                  Mixed connective tissue disease is relatively

                  common in producing interstitial pulmonary disease

                  or pleural effusions [18] In many cases the

                  abnormalities respond well to corticosteroid therapy

                  associated with advanced lung fibrosis [23]

                  Sjogrenrsquos syndrome

                  The common pulmonary lesions of Sjogrenrsquos

                  syndrome generally evolve over weeks to months

                  and are analogous to the disease manifestations in the

                  salivary glands The range of disease patterns in

                  Sjogrenrsquos syndrome is broad especially when Sjog-

                  renrsquos syndrome is accompanied by other connective

                  tissue disease A hallmark of pure Sjogrenrsquos syndrome

                  in the lung is marked lymphoreticular infiltrates in

                  the submucosal glands of the tracheobronchial tree

                  (Fig 21) [18] Patients with Sjogrenrsquos syndrome also

                  are at risk for LIP and occasionally develop lympho-

                  proliferative disorders that involve the pulmonary

                  interstitium ranging from relatively low-grade extra-

                  nodal marginal zone lymphoma (MALToma) to a

                  high-grade lymphoma Advanced lung fibrosis also

                  occurs as pleuropulmonary manifestation in Sjogrenrsquos

                  Certain chronic drug reactions

                  Many drugs are reported to produce lung fibrosis

                  among them bleomycin carmustine penicillamine ni-

                  trofurantoin tocainide mexiletine amiodarone aza-

                  thioprine methotrexate melphalan and mitomycin C

                  and the reader is referred to on-line resources such

                  as wwwpneumotoxcom [188] for continuously

                  updated information on reported drug reactions Bleo-

                  mycin is presented in this article because it causes sub-

                  acute and chronic toxicity and has been used widely

                  as an experimental model of pulmonary fibrosis

                  Bleomycin

                  Bleomycin is an antineoplastic agent that becomes

                  concentrated in skin lungs and lymphatic fluid

                  Pulmonary lesions may be dose-related [4041] and

                  prior radiotherapy seems to predispose to toxicity

                  [42] The initial site of injury in experimental models

                  seems to be the venous endothelial cell [43] but type I

                  cell injury allows fibrin and other serum proteins to

                  leak into the alveolus Type II cell hyperplasia occurs

                  as a regenerative phenomenon that results in atypical

                  enlarged forms and intra-alveolar fibroplasia occurs

                  systemic associations another subset of patients was

                  had suffered pneumonia months before their biopsies

                  were performed

                  Perhaps the most important finding in the Katzen-

                  stein and Fiorelli study was that their population of

                  patients had morbidity and mortality rates signifi-

                  cantly different from that of UIP in which reported

                  mortality figures were more in the range of 90 with

                  median survival in the range of 3 years Only 5 of 48

                  patients with clinical follow-up died of progressive

                  lung disease (11) whereas 39 patients either

                  recovered or were alive with stable lung disease

                  For the patients with follow-up no deaths were

                  reported in group I patients whereas 3 patients from

                  group II and 2 patients from group III died

                  Unfortunately a significant number of patients were

                  lost to follow-up and mean lengths of follow-up

                  varied Since 1994 there have been several additional

                  reported series of patients with NSIP [54ndash61] with

                  variable reported survival rates (Table 5) Deaths

                  occurred in patients with NSIP who had fibrosis

                  (groups II and III) analogous to results reported by

                  Katzenstein and Fiorelli Nagai et al [58] restricted

                  the scope of NSIP to patients with idiopathic disease

                  primarily by excluding patients with known collagen

                  vascular diseases and environmental exposures Two

                  UIP is a chronic diffuse lung disease of

                  unknown origin characterized by a progressive

                  Currently UIP has been restricted to a subset of the

                  broad and heterogeneous group of diseases initially

                  encompassed by this term [114]

                  UIP is a disease of older individuals typically

                  older than 50 years [62] Men are slightly more

                  commonly affected than women Characteristic clini-

                  HRCT has added a new dimension to the diagnosis

                  of UIP The abnormalities are most prominent at the

                  periphery of the lungs and in the lung bases

                  regardless of the stage [64] Irregular linear opacities

                  result in a reticular pattern [64] Advanced lung

                  remodeling with cyst formation (honeycombing) is

                  seen in approximately 90 of patients at presentation

                  [65] Ground-glass opacities can be seen in approxi-

                  mately 80 of cases of UIP but are seldom extensive

                  The gross examination of the lung often reveals a

                  characteristic nodular external surface (Fig 29)

                  Histopathologically UIP is best envisioned as a

                  smoldering alveolitis of unknown cause accompanied

                  by microscopic foci of injury repair and lung

                  remodeling with dense fibrosis The disease begins

                  at the periphery of the pulmonary lobule and has a

                  consistent tendency to leave lung fibrosis and honey-

                  comb cystic lung remodeling in its wake as it

                  progresses from the periphery to the center of the

                  lobule (Fig 30) This transition from dense fibrosis

                  with or without honeycombing to near normal lung

                  through an intermediate stage of alveolar organization

                  bundles of smooth muscle typically are present within

                  areas of fibrosis (Fig 31) presumably arising as a

                  consequence of progressive parenchymal collapse

                  with incorporation of native airway and vascular

                  smooth muscle into fibrosis Less well-recognized

                  accounts for the functional evidence of small airway

                  infectious pneumonia (possibly viral) superimposed

                  on a fibrotic lung with marginal reserve Because

                  cases are sufficiently common organisms are rarely

                  identified and a small percentage of patients respond

                  to pulse systemic corticosteroid therapy many inves-

                  tigators consider such exacerbation to be a form of

                  fulminant progression of the disease process itself

                  Overall acute exacerbation has a poor prognosis and

                  death within 1 week is not unusual Pathologically

                  acute lung injury that resembles DAD or organizing

                  disease is immunologically mediated presumably

                  through a type III hypersensitivity reaction although

                  the immunologic mechanisms have not been well

                  documented in all conditions [68] The prototypic

                  example is so-called lsquolsquofarmerrsquos lungrsquorsquo which is

                  caused by hypersensitivity to thermophilic actino-

                  pneumonia are presented in Table 6 Because biopsy

                  is typically performed in the subacute phase the

                  picture is usually one of a chronic inflammatory

                  interstitial infiltrate with lymphocytes and variable

                  numbers of plasma cells Lung structure is preserved

                  and alveoli usually can be distinguished A few

                  scattered poorly formed granulomas are seen in the

                  lymphocytes Characteristically scattered giant cells

                  of the foreign body type are seen around terminal

                  airways and may contain cleft-like spaces or small

                  particles that are doubly refractile (Fig 34) Terminal

                  airways display chronic inflammation of their walls

                  even occlusion Pale or lightly eosinophilic vacuo-

                  spaces and are a common sign of bronchiolar

                  obstruction Similar macrophages also are seen within

                  alveolar walls

                  lamellar cytoplasmic inclusions are present ultra-

                  LIP is a clinical pathologic entity that fits

                  descriptively within the chronic interstitial pneumo-

                  nias By consensus LIP has been included in the

                  current classification of the idiopathic interstitial

                  pneumonias despite decades of controversy about

                  what diseases are encompassed by this term In 1969

                  Liebow and Carrington [3] briefly presented a group

                  of patients and used the term LIP to describe their

                  biopsy findings The defining criteria were morphol-

                  ogic and included lsquolsquoan exquisitely interstitial infil-

                  tratersquorsquo that was described as generally polymorphous

                  and consisted of lymphocytes plasma cells and large

                  mononuclear cells (Fig 38) Several associated

                  clinical conditions have been described including

                  connective tissue diseases bone marrow transplanta-

                  tion acquired and congenital immunodeficiency

                  syndromes and diffuse lymphoid hyperplasia of the

                  intestine This disease is considered idiopathic only

                  when a cause or association cannot be identified

                  The idiopathic form of LIP occurs most com-

                  monly between the ages of 50 and 70 but children

                  may be affected Women are more commonly

                  LIP is best thought of as a histopathologic pattern

                  rather than a diagnosis because LIP as proposed

                  initially has morphologic features that are difficult to

                  separate accurately from other lymphoplasmacellular

                  interstitial infiltrates including low-grade lymphomas

                  of extranodal marginal zone type (maltoma) The LIP

                  pattern requires clinical and laboratory correlation for

                  accurate assessment similar to organizing pneumo-

                  nia NSIP and DIP The histopathologic hallmarks of

                  cells and histiocytes (Fig 39) Giant cells and small

                  granulomas may be present [91] Honeycombing with

                  interstitial fibrosis can occur Immunophenotyping

                  shows lack of clonality in the lymphoid infiltrate

                  When LIP accompanies HIV infection a wide age

                  range occurs and it is commonly found in children

                  [92ndash95] These HIV-infected patients have the same

                  nonspecific respiratory symptoms but weight loss is

                  more common Other features of HIV and AIDS

                  such as lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly

                  are also more common Mean survival is worse than

                  that of LIP alone with adults living an average of

                  14 months and children an average of 32 months

                  alveolar spaces Depending on the composition of

                  this airspace filling process a narrow differential

                  diagnosis typically emerges The prototype for the

                  airspace filling pattern is organizing pneumonia in

                  which immature fibroblasts (myofibroblasts) form

                  polypoid growths within the terminal airways and

                  alveoli Organizing pneumonia is a common and

                  nonspecific reaction to lung injury Other material

                  also can occur in the airspaces such as neutrophils in

                  the case of bacterial pneumonia proteinaceous

                  material in alveolar proteinosis and even bone in

                  so-called lsquolsquoracemosersquorsquo or dendritic calcification

                  Neutrophils

                  When neutrophils fill the alveolar spaces the

                  disease is usually acute clinically and bacterial

                  pneumonia leads the differential diagnosis (Fig 40)

                  Rarely immunologically mediated pulmonary hem-

                  orrhage can be associated with brisk episodes of

                  neutrophilic capillaritis these cells can shed into the

                  alveolar spaces and mimic bronchopneumonia

                  niarsquorsquo although many clinicians believe that this is an

                  automatic indictment of infection Unfortunately the

                  lung has a limited capacity for repair after any injury

                  and organizing pneumonia often is a part of this

                  process regardless of the exact mechanism of injury

                  The more generic term lsquolsquoairspace organizationrsquorsquo is

                  preferable but longstanding habits are hard to

                  change Some of the more common causes of the

                  organizing pneumonia pattern are presented in Box 7

                  One particular form of diffuse lung disease is

                  characterized by airspace organization and is idio-

                  pathic This clinicopathologic condition was previ-

                  ously referred to as lsquolsquoidiopathic bronchiolitis obliterans

                  organizing pneumoniarsquorsquo (idiopathic BOOP) The name

                  of this disorder recently was changed to COP

                  Idiopathic cryptogenic organizing pneumonia

                  In 1983 Davison et al [97] described a group of

                  patients with COP and 2 years later Epler et al [98]

                  described similar cases as idiopathic BOOP The pro-

                  cess described in these series is believed to be the

                  same [1] as those cases described by Liebow and

                  Carrington in 1969 as lsquolsquoidiopathic bronchiolitis oblit-

                  sonable consensus has emerged regarding what is

                  being called COP [97ndash100] King and Mortensen

                  [101] recently compiled the findings from 4 major

                  case series reported from North America adding 18

                  of their own cases (112 cases in all) Based on

                  these compiled data the following description of

                  COP emerges

                  The evolution of clinical symptoms is subacute

                  (4 months on average and 3 months in most) and

                  follows a flu-like illness in 40 of cases The average

                  age at presentation is 58 years (range 21ndash80 years)

                  and there is no sex predominance Dyspnea and

                  cough are present in half the patients Fever is

                  common and leukocytosis occurs in approximately

                  one fourth The erythrocyte sedimentation rate is

                  typically elevated [102] Clubbing is rare Restrictive

                  lung disease is present in approximately half of the

                  patients with COP and the diffusing capacity is

                  reduced in most Airflow obstruction is mild and

                  typically affects patients who are smokers

                  Chest radiographs show patchy bilateral (some-

                  times unilateral) nonsegmental airspace consolidation

                  [103] which may be migratory and similar to those of

                  eosinophilic pneumonia Reticulation may be seen in

                  10 to 40 of patients but rarely is predominant

                  [103104] The most characteristic HRCT features of

                  COP are patchy unilateral or bilateral areas of

                  consolidation which have a predominantly peribron-

                  chial or subpleural distribution (or both) in approxi-

                  mately 60 of cases In 30 to 50 of cases small

                  ill-defined nodules (3ndash10 mm in diameter) are seen

                  [105ndash108] and a reticular pattern is seen in 10 to

                  30 of cases

                  The major histopathologic feature of COP is

                  alveolar space organization (so-called lsquolsquoMasson

                  bodiesrsquorsquo) but it also extends to involve alveolar ducts

                  and respiratory bronchioles in which the process has

                  a characteristic polypoid and fibromyxoid appearance

                  (Fig 41) The parenchymal involvement tends to be

                  patchy All of the organization seems to be recent

                  Unfortunately the term BOOP has become one of the

                  most commonly misused descriptions in lung pathol-

                  ogy much to the dismay of clinicians Pathologists

                  use the term to describe nonspecific organization that

                  occurs in alveolar ducts and alveolar spaces of lung

                  biopsies Clinicians hear the term BOOP or BOOP

                  pattern and often interpret this as a clinical diagnosis

                  of idiopathic BOOP Because of this misuse there is a

                  growing consensus [101109] regarding use of the

                  term COP to describe the clinicopathologic entity for

                  the following reasons (1) Although COP is primarily

                  an organizing pneumonia in up to 30 or more of

                  in respiratory bronchioles [97] (2) The term lsquolsquobron-

                  chiolitis obliteransrsquorsquo has been used in so many

                  different ways that it has become a highly ambiguous

                  term (3) Bronchiolitis generally produces obstruction

                  to airflow and COP is primarily characterized by a

                  restrictive defect

                  The expected prognosis of COP is relatively good

                  In 63 of affected patients the condition resolves

                  mainly as a response to systemic corticosteroids

                  Twelve percent die typically in approximately

                  3 months The disease persists in the remaining sub-

                  set or relapses if steroids are tapered too quickly

                  Patients with COP who fare poorly frequently have

                  comorbid disorders such as connective tissue disease

                  or thyroiditis or have been taking nitrofurantoin

                  [110] A recent study showed that the presence of

                  reticular opacities in a patient with COP portended

                  a worse prognosis [111]

                  Macrophages

                  Macrophages are an integral part of the lungrsquos

                  defense system These cells are migratory and

                  generally do not accumulate in the lung to a

                  significant degree in the absence of obstruction of

                  the airways or other pathology In smokers dusty

                  brown macrophages tend to accumulate around the

                  terminal airways and peribronchiolar alveolar spaces

                  and in association with interstitial fibrosis The

                  cigarette smokingndashrelated airway disease known as

                  respiratory bronchiolitisndashassociated ILD is discussed

                  later in this article with the smoking-related ILDs

                  Beyond smoking some infectious diseases are

                  characterized by a prominent alveolar macrophage

                  reaction such as the malacoplakia-like reaction to

                  Rhodococcus equi infection in the immunocompro-

                  mised host or the mucoid pneumonia reaction to

                  cryptococcal pneumonia Conditions associated with

                  a DIP-like reaction are presented in Box 8

                  Eosinophilic pneumonia

                  Acute eosinophilic pneumonia was discussed

                  earlier with the acute ILDs but the acute and chronic

                  forms of eosinophilic pneumonia often are accom-

                  panied by a striking macrophage reaction in the

                  airspaces Different from the macrophages in a

                  patient with smoking-related macrophage accumula-

                  tion the macrophages of eosinophilic pneumonia

                  tend to have a brightly eosinophilic appearance and

                  are plump with dense cytoplasm Multinucleated

                  forms may occur and the macrophages may aggre-

                  gate in sufficient density to suggest granulomas in the

                  alveolar spaces When this occurs a careful search

                  ing eosinophilic lung disease from other conditions

                  characterized by a histiocytic reaction

                  Idiopathic desquamative interstitial pneumonia

                  In 1965 Liebow et al [112] described 18 cases of

                  diffuse lung diseases that differed in many respects

                  from UIP The striking histologic feature was the pre-

                  sence of numerous cells filling the airspaces Liebow

                  et al believed that the cells were chiefly desquamated

                  alveolar epithelial lining cells and coined the term

                  lsquolsquodesquamative interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo It is currently

                  known that these cells are predominately macro-

                  phages however [113] DIP and the cigarette smok-

                  ingndashrelated disease known as RB-ILD are believed to

                  be similar if not identical diseases possibly repre-

                  senting different expressions of disease severity [115]

                  RB-ILD is discussed later in this article in the section

                  on smoking-related diffuse lung disease

                  The patients described by Liebow et al [112] were

                  on average slightly younger than patients with UIP

                  and their symptoms were usually milder Clubbing

                  was uncommon but in later series some patients with

                  clubbing were identified [4] Most patients have a

                  subacute lung disease of weeks to months of evo-

                  lution The predominant finding on the radiograph and

                  HRCT in patients with DIP consists of ground-glass

                  opacities particularly at the bases and at the costo-

                  phrenic angles [115] Some patients have mild reticu-

                  lar changes superimposed on ground-glass opacities

                  In lung biopsy the scanning magnification

                  appearance of DIP is striking (Fig 42) The alveolar

                  spaces are filled with lightly pigmented (brown)

                  macrophages and multinucleated cells are commonly

                  (brown) macrophages and multinucleated cells are commonly pre

                  present Additional important features include the

                  relative preservation of lung architecture with only

                  mild thickening of alveolar walls and absence of

                  severe fibrosis or honeycombing [116ndash118] Inter-

                  stitial mononuclear inflammation is seen sometimes

                  with scattered lymphoid follicles The histologic

                  appearance of DIP is not specific It is commonly

                  present in other diffuse and localized lung diseases

                  including UIP asbestosis [119] and other dust-

                  related diseases [120] DIP-like reactions occur after

                  nitrofurantoin therapy [121122] and in alveolar

                  spaces adjacent to the nodules of PLCH (see later

                  section on smoking-related diseases)

                  seems clear that DIP represents a nonspecific reaction

                  and more commonly occurs in smokers It is critical

                  to distinguish between DIP and UIP especially

                  because these diseases are regarded as different from

                  one another Research has shown conclusively that

                  the clinical features are different the prognosis is

                  much better in DIP and DIP may respond to

                  corticosteroid administration [124] whereas UIP

                  does not [62]

                  accumulation of lipid-rich eosinophilic material

                  [125] PAP likely occurs as a result of overproduction

                  of surfactant by type II cells impaired clearance of

                  surfactant by alveolar macrophages or a combination

                  of these mechanisms The disease can occur as an

                  idiopathic form but also occurs in the settings of

                  occupational disease (especially dust-related) drug-

                  induced injury hematologic diseases and in many

                  settings of immunodeficiency [125ndash128] PAP is

                  commonly associated with exposure to inhaled

                  crystalline material and silica although other sub-

                  stances have been implicated [126] The idiopathic

                  form is the most common presentation with a male

                  predominance and an age range of 30 to 50 years

                  The usual presenting symptom is insidious dyspnea

                  sometimes with cough [129] although the clinical

                  symptoms are often less dramatic than the radio-

                  logic abnormalities

                  Chest radiographs show extensive bilateral air-

                  Some ILDs are dominated by or significantly

                  associated with nodules For most of the diffuse

                  ILDs the nodules are small and appreciated best

                  under the microscope In some instances nodules

                  may be sufficiently large and diffuse in distribution

                  that they are identified on HRCT In others cases a

                  few large nodules may be present in two or more

                  lobes or bilaterally (eg Wegener granulomatosis) For

                  neoplasms that diffusely involve the lung the nodular

                  Sarcoidosis

                  Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease

                  of uncertain origin The disease commonly affects the

                  lungs [134135] The origin pathogenesis and

                  epidemiology of sarcoidosis suggest that it is a

                  disorder of immune regulation [136ndash138] The

                  observation that sarcoid granulomas recur after lung

                  transplantation [139ndash141] seems to underscore fur-

                  ther the notion that this is an acquired systemic

                  abnormality of immunity It also emphasizes the fact

                  that even profound immunosuppression (such as that

                  used in transplantation) may be ineffective in halting

                  disease progression for the subset whose condition

                  persists and progresses to lung fibrosis

                  Sarcoidosis occurs most frequently in young

                  adults but has been described in all ages There is a

                  decreased incidence of sarcoidosis in cigarette smok-

                  ers Many patients with intrathoracic sarcoidosis are

                  symptom free Systemic manifestations may be

                  identified (in decreasing frequency) in lymph nodes

                  eyes liver skin spleen salivary glands bone heart

                  and kidneys Breathlessness is the most common

                  pulmonary symptom

                  The chest radiographic appearance is often char-

                  acteristic with a combination of symmetrical bilateral

                  hilar and paratracheal lymph node enlargement

                  together with a varied pattern of parenchymal

                  involvement including linear nodular and ground-

                  glass opacities [142] In approximately 25 of the

                  patients the radiographic appearance is atypical and

                  in approximately 10 it is normal [143] Staging of

                  the disease is based on pattern of involvement on

                  plain chest radiographs only [135142]

                  The histopathologic hallmark of sarcoidosis is the

                  presence of well-formed granulomas without necrosis

                  (Fig 45) Granulomas are classically distributed

                  along lymphatic channels of the bronchovascular

                  bundles interlobular septa and pleura (Fig 46) The

                  area between granulomas is frequently sclerotic and

                  adjacent small granulomas tend to coalesce into larger

                  nodules Because of involvement of the broncho-

                  vascular bundles and the characteristic histology

                  sarcoidosis is one of the few diffuse lung diseases

                  that can be diagnosed with a high degree of success

                  by transbronchial biopsy (Fig 47) [144] Although

                  necrosis is not a feature of the disease sometimes

                  Pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis (lym-

                  carcinoma that involves the lung primarily within

                  lymphatics The disease produces a miliary nodular

                  pattern at scanning magnification Lymphangitic

                  carcinoma is typically adenocarcinoma The most

                  common sites of origin are breast lung and stomach

                  although primary disease in pancreas ovary kidney

                  and uterine cervix also can give rise to this

                  manifestation of metastatic spread Patients often

                  disease with uneven thickening of the bronchovas-

                  the edema inflammation and interstitial fibrosis that

                  A limited differential diagnosis is invoked by the

                  relative absence of abnormalities in a surgical lung

                  biopsy (Box 11) Three main categories of disease

                  emerge in this setting (1) diseases of the small

                  rheumatoid bronchiolitis complex bronchiolar metaplasia

                  involves a membranous bronchiole accompanied by fol-

                  licular bronchiolitis Small rheumatoid nodules (similar to

                  those that occur around the joints) also can be seen

                  occasionally in the walls of airways which results in partial

                  or total occlusion

                  airways (eg constrictive bronchiolitis) (2) vasculo-

                  pathic conditions (eg pulmonary hypertension) and

                  (3) two diseases that may be dominated by cysts the

                  rare disease known as LAM and PLCH in the in-

                  active or healed phase of the disease All of these may

                  be dramatic in biopsy specimens but when con-

                  fronted with the lsquolsquonearly normalrsquorsquo lung biopsy in a pa-

                  tient with significant clinical disease these three

                  groups of diseases dominate the differential diagnosis

                  Small airways disease and constrictive bronchiolitis

                  Obliteration of the small membranous bronchioles

                  can occur as a result of infection toxic inhalational

                  exposure drugs systemic connective tissue diseases

                  and as an idiopathic form Outside of the setting of

                  lung transplantation in which so-called lsquolsquobronchio-

                  litis obliteransrsquorsquo (having histopathology similar to

                  constrictive bronchiolitis) occurs as a chronic mani-

                  festation of organ rejection the diagnosis presents a

                  challenge for pulmonologists and pathologists alike

                  In this section we present a few recognized forms of

                  nonndashtransplant-associated constrictive bronchiolitis

                  Irritants and infections

                  Many irritant gases can produce severe bronchi-

                  olitis This inflammatory injury may be followed by

                  the accumulation of loose granulation tissue and

                  finally by complete stenosis and occlusion of the

                  airways The best known of these agents are nitrogen

                  dioxide [158] sulfur dioxide [159] and ammonia

                  [160] Viral infection also can cause permanent

                  bronchiolar injury particularly adenovirus infection

                  [161] Mycoplasma pneumonia is also cited as a

                  potential cause [162] The course of events is similar

                  to that for the toxic gases Variable degrees of

                  bronchiectasis or bronchioloectasis may occur sec-

                  ondarily up- and downstream from the area of

                  occlusion Lung biopsy is performed rarely and then

                  usually because the patient is young and unusual

                  airflow obstruction is present Occasionally mixed

                  obstruction and restriction may occur presumably on

                  the basis of diffuse peribronchiolar scarring This

                  airway-associated scarring may produce CT findings

                  of lsquolsquointerstitialrsquorsquo disease The airway lesions are subtle

                  but can be recognized by variable reduction in

                  bronchiolar luminal diameter compared with the

                  adjacent pulmonary artery branch (Normally these

                  should be roughly equal in diameter when viewed

                  as cross-sections) The diagnosis depends on careful

                  clinical correlation and sometimes the addition of a

                  comparison between inspiratory and expiratory

                  HRCT scans which typically shows prominent

                  mosaic air trapping

                  Rheumatoid bronchiolitis

                  Patients with RA may develop constrictive bron-

                  chiolitis as a consequence of their disease In some

                  patients small rheumatoid nodules can be seen in the

                  walls of airways which results in their partial or total

                  occlusion (Fig 53) From a practical point of view

                  the lesions are focal within the airways often in small

                  bronchi and may not be visualized easily in the

                  biopsy specimen Because of the widespread recog-

                  nition of rheumatoid bronchiolitis biopsy is rarely

                  performed in these patients Morphologically scat-

                  tered occlusion of small bronchi and bronchioles is

                  observed and is associated with the presence of loose

                  connective tissue in their lumens

                  Neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia with occlusive

                  bronchiolar fibrosis

                  In 1992 Aguayo et al [163] reported six patients

                  with moderate chronic airflow obstruction all of

                  whom never smoked Diffuse neuroendocrine cell

                  hyperplasia of the bronchioles associated with partial

                  or total occlusion of airway lumens by fibrous tissue

                  was present in all six patients (Fig 54) Three of the

                  patients also had peripheral carcinoid tumors and

                  three had progressive dyspnea

                  In a study of 25 peripheral carcinoid tumors that

                  occurred in smokers and nonsmokers Miller and

                  Muller [164] identified 19 patients (76) with

                  neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of the airways which

                  occurred mostly in bronchioles Eight patients (32)

                  recognized as an expression of chronic organ rejection in the

                  setting of lung transplantation (bronchiolitis obliterans

                  syndrome) It also occurs on the basis of many other injuries

                  and exists as an idiopathic form In this photograph taken

                  from a biopsy in a lung transplant patient the bronchiole can

                  be seen at center right but the lumen is filled with loose

                  fibroblasts (note the adjacent pulmonary artery upper left)

                  were found to have occlusive bronchiolar fibrosis

                  Four of the 8 had mild chronic airflow obstruction

                  and 2 of these 4 patients were nonsmokers

                  An increase in neuroendocrine cells was present in

                  more than 20 of bronchioles examined in lung

                  adjacent to the tumor and in tissue blocks taken well

                  away from tumor Less than half of these airways

                  were partially or totally occluded The mildest lesion

                  consisted of linear zones of neuroendocrine cell

                  hyperplasia with focal subepithelial fibrosis The

                  most severely involved bronchioles showed total

                  luminal occlusion by fibrous tissue with few visible

                  neuroendocrine cells

                  In both of these studies most of the patients with

                  airway neuroendocrine hyperplasia were women Pre-

                  sumably fibrosis in this setting of neuroendocrine

                  hyperplasia is related to one or more peptides se-

                  creted by neuroendocrine cells possibly these cells are

                  more effective in stimulating airway fibrosis inwomen

                  Cryptogenic constrictive bronchiolitis

                  Unexplained chronic airflow obstruction that

                  occurs in nonsmokers may be a result of selective

                  (and likely multifocal) obliteration of the membra-

                  nous bronchioles (constrictive bronchiolitis) In a

                  study of 2094 patients with a forced expiratory

                  volume in the first second (FEV1) of less than

                  60 of predicted [165] 10 patients (9 women) were

                  identified They ranged in age from 27 to 60 years

                  Five were found to have RA and presumably

                  rheumatoid bronchiolitis The other 5 had airflow

                  obstruction of unknown cause believed to be caused

                  by lsquolsquobronchiolitisrsquorsquo Other studies also identified a

                  cryptogenic form of bronchiolar disease that produces

                  airflow obstruction [166167] When biopsies have

                  been performed constrictive bronchiolitis seems to

                  be the common pathologic manifestation (Fig 55)

                  It is fair to conclude that a rare but fairly distinct

                  clinical syndrome exists that consists of mild airflow

                  obstruction and usually affects middle-aged women

                  who manifest nonspecific respiratory symptoms

                  such as cough and dyspnea It is possible that these

                  cryptogenic cases of constrictive bronchiolitis are

                  manifestations of undeclared systemic connective

                  tissue disease the sequelae of prior undetected

                  community-acquired infections (eg viral myco-

                  Interstitial lung disease dominated by

                  airway-associated scarring

                  A form of small airway-associated ILD has been

                  described in recent years under the names lsquolsquoidiopathic

                  bronchiolocentric interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo [168] and

                  lsquolsquoairway-centered interstitial fibrosisrsquorsquo [169] Affected

                  patients have more of a restrictive than obstructive

                  functional deficit and the process is characterized

                  histopathologically by the presence of significant

                  small airwayndashassociated scarring similar to that seen

                  in forms of chronic hypersensitivity pneumonia

                  certain chronic inhalational injuries (including sub-

                  clinical chronic aspiration pneumonia) and even

                  some examples of late-stage inactive PLCH (which

                  typically lacks characteristic Langerhansrsquo cells) This

                  morphologic group may pose diagnostic challenges

                  because of the absence of interstitial inflammatory

                  changes despite the radiologic and functional impres-

                  sion of ILD

                  Vasculopathic disease

                  Diseases that involve the small arteries and veins

                  of the lung can be subtle when viewed from low

                  magnification under the microscope (Fig 56) This is

                  not to imply that the entities of pulmonary hyper-

                  tension capillary hemangiomatosis and veno-occlu-

                  sive disease are always subtle (Fig 57) A complete

                  discussion of these disease conditions is beyond the

                  scope of this article however when the lung biopsy

                  has little pathology evident at scanning magnifica-

                  the pulmonary interstitium and associated with the

                  formation of cysts [170ndash173] The disease is

                  centered on lymphatic channels blood vessels and

                  airways LAM is a disease of women typically in

                  their childbearing years The disease does occur in

                  older women and rarely in men [174] There is a

                  strong association between the inherited genetic

                  disorder known as tuberous sclerosis complex and

                  the occurrence of LAM Most patients with LAM do

                  not have tuberous sclerosis complex but approxi-

                  mately one fourth of patients with tuberous sclerosis

                  complex have LAM as diagnosed by chest HRCT

                  [175] The most common presenting symptoms are

                  spontaneous pneumothorax and exertional dyspnea

                  Others symptoms include chyloptosis hemoptysis

                  and chest pain The characteristic findings on CT are

                  numerous cysts separated by normal-appearing lung

                  parenchyma The cysts range from 2 to 10 mm in

                  diameter and are seen much better with HRCT

                  [171176]

                  The appearance of the abnormal smooth muscle in

                  LAM is sufficiently characteristic so that once

                  recognized it is rarely forgotten Cystic spaces are

                  present at low magnification (Fig 58) The walls of

                  these spaces have variable amounts of bundled

                  spindled cells (Fig 59) The nuclei of these spindled

                  cells (Fig 60) are larger than those of normal smooth

                  muscle bundles seen around alveolar ducts or in the

                  walls of airways or vessels Immunohistochemical

                  staining is positive in these cells using antibodies

                  directed against the melanoma markers HMB45 and

                  Mart-1 (Fig 61) These findings may be useful in the

                  evaluation of transbronchial biopsy in which only a

                  can be demonstrated in the spindled cells of LAM

                  [177] Other lung parenchymal abnormalities may be

                  present including peculiar nodules of hyperplastic

                  pneumocytes (Fig 62) that lack immunoreactivity

                  for HMB45 or Mart-1 but show immunoreactivity for

                  cytokeratins and surfactant apoproteins [178] These

                  disease

                  Respiratory bronchiolitis is a common finding in

                  the lungs of cigarette smokers and some investiga-

                  tors consider this lesion to be a precursor of centri-

                  acinar emphysema Respiratory bronchiolitis affects

                  the terminal airways and is characterized by delicate

                  fibrous bands that radiate from the peribronchiolar

                  connective tissue into the surrounding lung (Fig 64)

                  Dusty appearing tan-brown pigmented alveolar

                  macrophages are present in the adjacent airspaces

                  and a mild amount of interstitial chronic inflamma-

                  tion is present Bronchiolar metaplasia (extension of

                  terminal airway epithelium to alveolar ducts) is

                  usually present to some degree In the bronchioles

                  submucosal fibrosis may be present but constrictive

                  changes are not a characteristic finding When

                  respiratory bronchiolitis becomes extensive and

                  patients have signs and symptoms of ILD use of

                  the term RB-ILD has been suggested [180181] The

                  exact relationship between RB-ILD and DIP is

                  unclear and in smokers these two conditions are

                  probably part of a continuous spectrum of disease

                  Symptoms of RB-ILD include dyspnea excess

                  sputum production and cough [182] Rarely patients

                  may be asymptomatic Men are slightly more

                  cigarette smoking

                  Fig 64 Respiratory bronchiolitis affects the terminal

                  airways of smokers and is characterized by delicate fibrous

                  bands that radiate from the peribronchiolar connective tissue

                  into the surrounding lung Scant peribronchiolar chronic

                  inflammation is typically present and brown pigmented

                  smokers macrophages are seen in terminal airways and

                  peribronchiolar alveoli

                  Fig 65 In RB-ILD denser aggregates of lightly pigmented

                  macrophages are present in the airspaces around the

                  terminal airways with variable bronchiolar metaplasia

                  and more interstitial fibrosis than seen in simple respira-

                  nature of the disease is important in differentiating RB-

                  ILD from DIP

                  onset is approximately 36 years (range 22ndash53 years)

                  The average pack year smoking history is 32 (range

                  7ndash75)

                  Most patients with respiratory bronchiolitis alone

                  have normal radiologic studies The most common

                  findings in RB-ILD include thickening of the

                  bronchial walls ground-glass opacities and poorly

                  defined centrilobular nodular opacities [183] Be-

                  cause most patients with RB-ILD are heavy smokers

                  centrilobular emphysema is common

                  mented macrophages are present in the airspaces

                  around the terminal airways with variable bronchiolar

                  metaplasia (Fig 65) Iron stains may reveal delicate

                  positive staining within these cells The relatively

                  patchy nature of the disease is important in differ-

                  entiating RB-ILD from DIP (Fig 66) A spectrum of

                  pathologic severity emerges with isolated lesions of

                  respiratory bronchiolitis on one end and diffuse

                  macrophage accumulation in DIP on the other RB-

                  ILD exists somewhere in between The diagnosis of

                  RB-ILD should be reserved for situations in which

                  respiratory bronchiolitis is prominent with associated

                  clinical and pathologic ILD [184] No other cause for

                  ILD should be apparent The prognosis is excellent

                  and there does not seem to be evidence for pro-

                  gression to end-stage fibrosis in the absence of other

                  lung disease

                  PLCH (formerly known as pulmonary eosino-

                  philic granuloma or pulmonary histiocytosis X) is

                  currently recognized as a lung disease strongly

                  associated with cigarette smoking Proliferation of

                  Langerhansrsquo cells is associated with the formation of

                  stellate airway-centered lung scars and cystic change

                  in affected individuals The incidence of the disease is

                  unknown but it is generally considered to be a rare

                  complication of cigarette smoking [185]

                  PLCH affects smokers between the ages of 20 and

                  40 The most common presenting symptom is cough

                  with dyspnea but some patients may be asymptom-

                  atic despite chest radiographic abnormalities Chest

                  pain fever weight loss and hemoptysis have been

                  reported to occur HRCT scan shows nearly patho-

                  gnomonic changes including predominately upper

                  and middle lung zone nodules and cysts [185186]

                  The classic lesion of PLCH is illustrated in

                  Fig 67 Characteristically the nodules have a stellate

                  shape and are always centered on the bronchioles

                  directed against S100 protein and CD1a is helpful in

                  Immunohistochemistry for S-100 protein and CD1a

                  may be used to confirm the diagnosis but this is

                  usually unnecessary and even may be confounding in

                  late lesions in which Langerhansrsquo cells may be

                  sparse and the stellate scar is the diagnostic lesion

                  Up to 20 of transbronchial biopsies in patients

                  with Langerhansrsquo cell histiocytosis may have diag-

                  nostic changes The presence of more than 5

                  Langerhansrsquo cells in bronchoalveolar lavage is

                  considered diagnostic of Langerhansrsquo cell histiocy-

                  tosis in the appropriate clinical setting Unfortunately

                  cigarette smokers without Langerhansrsquo cell histiocy-

                  tosis also may have increased numbers of Langer-

                  hansrsquo cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage

                    dence of infection Like DAD acute fibrinous and

                    organizing pneumonia can be idiopathic or associated

                    with several underlying or associated conditions

                    such as collagen vascular disease drug reaction

                    and occupational exposures Survival is similar to

                    DAD in general but the requirement for mechanical

                    ventilation was associated with a worse prognosis

                    Acute diffuse alveolar hemorrhage

                    Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is character-

                    ized by a triad of (1) hemoptysis (2) anemia and

                    (3) bilateral ground-glass opacities (or consolidation)

                    that rapidly wax and wane Hemorrhage and hemo-

                    siderin-laden macrophages in alveolar spaces are

                    essential to the pathologic diagnosis [25ndash27] In

                    practice artifactual hemorrhage can occur commonly

                    in lung biopsy specimens Hemosiderin-laden macro-

                    phages (with coarsely granular golden-brown refrac-

                    tile pigment) always should be present in the alveolar

                    spaces before one invokes the diagnosis of DAH

                    (Fig 13) The differential diagnosis of DAH is pre-

                    Antiglomerular basement membrane disease

                    (Goodpasturersquos syndrome)

                    When diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage occurs with

                    renal disease in the presence of circulating antibodies

                    against glomerular basement membranes the con-

                    dition is referred to as antiglomerular basement

                    membrane disease [28ndash31] Lung biopsy is less

                    desirable than kidney as a diagnostic specimen in

                    Fig 13 DAH Fresh blood in the lung is not sufficient

                    evidence for a diagnosis of DAH Hemosiderin-laden

                    macrophages with coarsely granular golden-brown refractile

                    pigment always should be present

                    antiglomerular basement membrane disease but

                    because renal disease is commonly occult at the time

                    of presentation the lung is often the first tissue

                    sample examined by the pathologist Unfortunately

                    the lung findings are relatively nonspecific and

                    consist of fresh alveolar hemorrhage hemosiderin

                    deposition in macrophages (siderophages) and vari-

                    able interstitial inflammation with delicate interstitial

                    fibrosis (Fig 14) The presence of capillaritis in the

                    alveolar wall is also helpful in distinguishing anti-

                    glomerular basement membrane disease from idio-

                    pathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) and chronic

                    passive lung congestion The results of immunofluo-

                    rescent studies on lung tissue are not as reliable as

                    they are on kidney tissue [30] and for cost-effective

                    practice we generally recommend serologic confir-

                    mation (radioimmunoassay or ELISA) even when

                    appropriately preserved lung tissue is available

                    pneumonia

                    The term lsquolsquoacute interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo was first

                    introduced in 1986 to describe a syndrome of rapidly

                    evolving acute respiratory failure that occurred in

                    immunocompetent individuals [32] The patients

                    described included three men and five women (two

                    of whom were pregnant) who developed sudden

                    unexplained respiratory failure Six reported a viral-

                    like prodrome None of the patients was reported to

                    have underlying collagen vascular disease By

                    definition acute interstitial pneumonia is of unknown

                    cause and is a diagnosis of exclusion The usual

                    causes of ARDS must be absent (ie shock sepsis

                    trauma aspiration or drug toxicity)

                    Surgical lung biopsies show DAD in varying

                    stages (Fig 17) The changes observed in biopsy

                    specimens depend on the stage at which the biopsy is

                    taken and tend to be relatively diffuse throughout the

                    specimen Like other forms of DAD the early stages

                    show an exudative phase with edema and hyaline

                    membranes Bronchioles may show squamous meta-

                    plasia that extend peripherally to involve adjacent

                    alveolar walls Organizing arterial thrombi were seen

                    in five of the seven patients who died in the Kat-

                    zenstein series [32] In the last stages fibrosis distorts

                    diseases may involve the lung and pleura in several

                    different ways Although the lung morphologic

                    abnormalities are not specific for any one of these

                    the more prominent collagen vascular diseases known

                    to produce fibrosis are presented herein

                    Rheumatoid arthritis

                    The most common thoracic complication of RA is

                    pleural disease (effusion or pleuritis) which is seen in

                    as much as 50 of patients in autopsy studies

                    According to a study by Walker and Wright [33]

                    approximately one-third of the patients with pleural

                    effusions also have pulmonary manifestations of RA

                    in the form of nodules or interstitial disease Nodules

                    may be seen in the lung parenchyma and occasionally

                    in the walls of airways in persons with RA which

                    represents lymphoid hyperplasia with germinal cen-

                    ters in most instances (Fig 18) The interstitial

                    pneumonia of RA may be cellular with little fibrosis

                    (cellular NSIP-like see later discussion) fibrotic with

                    honeycomb cystic remodeling (UIP-like see later

                    discussion) and occasionally may have a macro-

                    phage-rich DIP pattern (discussed in Pattern 4) [19]

                    Fig 17 Acute interstitial pneumonia Surgical lung biopsies show diffuse alveolar damage in varying stages In the earliest

                    manifestation (A) edema in the alveolar spaces and interstitium is typical with hyaline membranes and preservation of the

                    alveolar spaces As the process evolves (2ndash4 days after onset) hyaline membranes become thicker and there is greater cellularity

                    in the interstitium as inflammatory cells begin to accrue (B) By the end of the first week (C) alveolar spaces are overwhelmed

                    by reparative changes with myofibroblasts that produce an organizing pneumonia pattern Over the next weeks (D) the

                    myofibroblasts become incorporated into the interstitium as the best outcome with reconstitution of the alveolar architecture

                    Systemic lupus erythematosus

                    Similar to RA SLE also commonly involves the

                    respiratory system [18] Painful pleuritis with or

                    without effusion is the most common abnormality

                    [20] Noninfectious organizing pneumonia also has

                    been reported and advanced fibrosis with honey-

                    comb remodeling occurs (Fig 19) [34]

                    Progressive systemic sclerosis

                    The most notable feature of lsquolsquoscleroderma lungrsquorsquo

                    is the presence of extensive alveolar wall fibrosis

                    without much inflammation (Fig 20) [35] Some

                    degree of diffuse lung fibrosis occurs in nearly every

                    patient with pulmonary involvement [18] Patients

                    with longstanding progressive systemic sclerosisndash

                    related lung fibrosis are at high risk of developing

                    ally without true vasculitis is typical if sufficiently

                    severe it produces pulmonary hypertension [36]

                    Pleural disease is less common in progressive

                    systemic sclerosis than in RA or SLE

                    Mixed connective tissue disease

                    Mixed connective tissue disease is relatively

                    common in producing interstitial pulmonary disease

                    or pleural effusions [18] In many cases the

                    abnormalities respond well to corticosteroid therapy

                    and are analogous to the disease manifestations in the

                    salivary glands The range of disease patterns in

                    Sjogrenrsquos syndrome is broad especially when Sjog-

                    renrsquos syndrome is accompanied by other connective

                    in the lung is marked lymphoreticular infiltrates in

                    the submucosal glands of the tracheobronchial tree

                    (Fig 21) [18] Patients with Sjogrenrsquos syndrome also

                    are at risk for LIP and occasionally develop lympho-

                    proliferative disorders that involve the pulmonary

                    interstitium ranging from relatively low-grade extra-

                    nodal marginal zone lymphoma (MALToma) to a

                    Certain chronic drug reactions

                    prior radiotherapy seems to predispose to toxicity

                    [42] The initial site of injury in experimental models

                    seems to be the venous endothelial cell [43] but type I

                    cell injury allows fibrin and other serum proteins to

                    leak into the alveolus Type II cell hyperplasia occurs

                    as a regenerative phenomenon that results in atypical

                    enlarged forms and intra-alveolar fibroplasia occurs

                    of UIP The abnormalities are most prominent at the

                    Histopathologically UIP is best envisioned as a

                    identified The typical history is that of a patient

                    being followed for IPF who suddenly develops acute

                    respiratory distress that often is accompanied by

                    fever elevation of the sedimentation rate marked

                    many years this manifestation was believed to be

                    infectious pneumonia (possibly viral) superimposed

                    on a fibrotic lung with marginal reserve Because

                    cases are sufficiently common organisms are rarely

                    identified and a small percentage of patients respond

                    to pulse systemic corticosteroid therapy many inves-

                    tigators consider such exacerbation to be a form of

                    fulminant progression of the disease process itself

                    Overall acute exacerbation has a poor prognosis and

                    death within 1 week is not unusual Pathologically

                    acute lung injury that resembles DAD or organizing

                    collagen (Fig 32) That acute exacerbation is a real

                    phenomenon in IPF is underscored by the results of a

                    Hypersensitivity pneumonitis

                    Lung disease can result from inhalation of various

                    organic antigens In most of these exposures the

                    disease is immunologically mediated presumably

                    through a type III hypersensitivity reaction although

                    the immunologic mechanisms have not been well

                    documented in all conditions [68] The prototypic

                    example is so-called lsquolsquofarmerrsquos lungrsquorsquo which is

                    caused by hypersensitivity to thermophilic actino-

                    is the dominant feature In the subacute stage there is

                    heralded by slowly progressive dyspnea and dry

                    Amiodarone toxicity produces a cellular interstitial

                    lamellar cytoplasmic inclusions are present ultra-

                    structurally [86] Unfortunately these cytoplasmic

                    changes are an expected manifestation of the drug so

                    their presence is not sufficient to warrant a diagnosis

                    of amiodarone toxicity [83] Pleural inflammation

                    LIP is a clinical pathologic entity that fits

                    descriptively within the chronic interstitial pneumo-

                    nias By consensus LIP has been included in the

                    current classification of the idiopathic interstitial

                    pneumonias despite decades of controversy about

                    what diseases are encompassed by this term In 1969

                    Liebow and Carrington [3] briefly presented a group

                    of patients and used the term LIP to describe their

                    biopsy findings The defining criteria were morphol-

                    ogic and included lsquolsquoan exquisitely interstitial infil-

                    and consisted of lymphocytes plasma cells and large

                    mononuclear cells (Fig 38) Several associated

                    clinical conditions have been described including

                    connective tissue diseases bone marrow transplanta-

                    syndromes and diffuse lymphoid hyperplasia of the

                    intestine This disease is considered idiopathic only

                    when a cause or association cannot be identified

                    The idiopathic form of LIP occurs most com-

                    monly between the ages of 50 and 70 but children

                    may be affected Women are more commonly

                    affected than men Cough dyspnea and progressive

                    shortness of breath occur and often are accompanied

                    bundles and thin-walled cysts may be seen [90]

                    LIP is best thought of as a histopathologic pattern

                    rather than a diagnosis because LIP as proposed

                    initially has morphologic features that are difficult to

                    separate accurately from other lymphoplasmacellular

                    interstitial infiltrates including low-grade lymphomas

                    of extranodal marginal zone type (maltoma) The LIP

                    pattern requires clinical and laboratory correlation for

                    accurate assessment similar to organizing pneumo-

                    cells and histiocytes (Fig 39) Giant cells and small

                    granulomas may be present [91] Honeycombing with

                    interstitial fibrosis can occur Immunophenotyping

                    shows lack of clonality in the lymphoid infiltrate

                    When LIP accompanies HIV infection a wide age

                    range occurs and it is commonly found in children

                    [92ndash95] These HIV-infected patients have the same

                    nonspecific respiratory symptoms but weight loss is

                    more common Other features of HIV and AIDS

                    such as lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly

                    are also more common Mean survival is worse than

                    that of LIP alone with adults living an average of

                    14 months and children an average of 32 months

                    [96] The morphology of LIP with or without HIV

                    is similar

                    Pattern 4 interstitial lung diseases dominated by

                    airspace filling

                    A significant number of ILDs are attended or

                    dominated by the presence of material filling the

                    alveolar spaces Depending on the composition of

                    this airspace filling process a narrow differential

                    diagnosis typically emerges The prototype for the

                    airspace filling pattern is organizing pneumonia in

                    which immature fibroblasts (myofibroblasts) form

                    polypoid growths within the terminal airways and

                    alveoli Organizing pneumonia is a common and

                    nonspecific reaction to lung injury Other material

                    also can occur in the airspaces such as neutrophils in

                    the case of bacterial pneumonia proteinaceous

                    material in alveolar proteinosis and even bone in

                    When neutrophils fill the alveolar spaces the

                    disease is usually acute clinically and bacterial

                    pneumonia leads the differential diagnosis (Fig 40)

                    Rarely immunologically mediated pulmonary hem-

                    orrhage can be associated with brisk episodes of

                    neutrophilic capillaritis these cells can shed into the

                    niarsquorsquo although many clinicians believe that this is an

                    automatic indictment of infection Unfortunately the

                    lung has a limited capacity for repair after any injury

                    and organizing pneumonia often is a part of this

                    process regardless of the exact mechanism of injury

                    The more generic term lsquolsquoairspace organizationrsquorsquo is

                    preferable but longstanding habits are hard to

                    change Some of the more common causes of the

                    organizing pneumonia pattern are presented in Box 7

                    One particular form of diffuse lung disease is

                    characterized by airspace organization and is idio-

                    pathic This clinicopathologic condition was previ-

                    organizing pneumoniarsquorsquo (idiopathic BOOP) The name

                    of this disorder recently was changed to COP

                    Idiopathic cryptogenic organizing pneumonia

                    In 1983 Davison et al [97] described a group of

                    patients with COP and 2 years later Epler et al [98]

                    described similar cases as idiopathic BOOP The pro-

                    sonable consensus has emerged regarding what is

                    being called COP [97ndash100] King and Mortensen

                    [101] recently compiled the findings from 4 major

                    case series reported from North America adding 18

                    of their own cases (112 cases in all) Based on

                    these compiled data the following description of

                    COP emerges

                    The evolution of clinical symptoms is subacute

                    (4 months on average and 3 months in most) and

                    follows a flu-like illness in 40 of cases The average

                    age at presentation is 58 years (range 21ndash80 years)

                    and there is no sex predominance Dyspnea and

                    cough are present in half the patients Fever is

                    common and leukocytosis occurs in approximately

                    one fourth The erythrocyte sedimentation rate is

                    typically elevated [102] Clubbing is rare Restrictive

                    lung disease is present in approximately half of the

                    patients with COP and the diffusing capacity is

                    reduced in most Airflow obstruction is mild and

                    typically affects patients who are smokers

                    Chest radiographs show patchy bilateral (some-

                    times unilateral) nonsegmental airspace consolidation

                    [103] which may be migratory and similar to those of

                    eosinophilic pneumonia Reticulation may be seen in

                    10 to 40 of patients but rarely is predominant

                    [103104] The most characteristic HRCT features of

                    COP are patchy unilateral or bilateral areas of

                    consolidation which have a predominantly peribron-

                    chial or subpleural distribution (or both) in approxi-

                    ill-defined nodules (3ndash10 mm in diameter) are seen

                    [105ndash108] and a reticular pattern is seen in 10 to

                    30 of cases

                    The major histopathologic feature of COP is

                    alveolar space organization (so-called lsquolsquoMasson

                    bodiesrsquorsquo) but it also extends to involve alveolar ducts

                    and respiratory bronchioles in which the process has

                    a characteristic polypoid and fibromyxoid appearance

                    (Fig 41) The parenchymal involvement tends to be

                    patchy All of the organization seems to be recent

                    Unfortunately the term BOOP has become one of the

                    most commonly misused descriptions in lung pathol-

                    ogy much to the dismay of clinicians Pathologists

                    use the term to describe nonspecific organization that

                    occurs in alveolar ducts and alveolar spaces of lung

                    biopsies Clinicians hear the term BOOP or BOOP

                    pattern and often interpret this as a clinical diagnosis

                    of idiopathic BOOP Because of this misuse there is a

                    growing consensus [101109] regarding use of the

                    term COP to describe the clinicopathologic entity for

                    the following reasons (1) Although COP is primarily

                    different ways that it has become a highly ambiguous

                    term (3) Bronchiolitis generally produces obstruction

                    to airflow and COP is primarily characterized by a

                    restrictive defect

                    The expected prognosis of COP is relatively good

                    In 63 of affected patients the condition resolves

                    mainly as a response to systemic corticosteroids

                    Twelve percent die typically in approximately

                    3 months The disease persists in the remaining sub-

                    comorbid disorders such as connective tissue disease

                    or thyroiditis or have been taking nitrofurantoin

                    [110] A recent study showed that the presence of

                    reticular opacities in a patient with COP portended

                    a worse prognosis [111]

                    Macrophages

                    Macrophages are an integral part of the lungrsquos

                    defense system These cells are migratory and

                    generally do not accumulate in the lung to a

                    significant degree in the absence of obstruction of

                    the airways or other pathology In smokers dusty

                    brown macrophages tend to accumulate around the

                    terminal airways and peribronchiolar alveolar spaces

                    and in association with interstitial fibrosis The

                    cigarette smokingndashrelated airway disease known as

                    respiratory bronchiolitisndashassociated ILD is discussed

                    Beyond smoking some infectious diseases are

                    characterized by a prominent alveolar macrophage

                    reaction such as the malacoplakia-like reaction to

                    Rhodococcus equi infection in the immunocompro-

                    Acute eosinophilic pneumonia was discussed

                    earlier with the acute ILDs but the acute and chronic

                    forms of eosinophilic pneumonia often are accom-

                    Idiopathic desquamative interstitial pneumonia

                    In 1965 Liebow et al [112] described 18 cases of

                    diffuse lung diseases that differed in many respects

                    from UIP The striking histologic feature was the pre-

                    sence of numerous cells filling the airspaces Liebow

                    et al believed that the cells were chiefly desquamated

                    alveolar epithelial lining cells and coined the term

                    lsquolsquodesquamative interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo It is currently

                    known that these cells are predominately macro-

                    phages however [113] DIP and the cigarette smok-

                    be similar if not identical diseases possibly repre-

                    senting different expressions of disease severity [115]

                    RB-ILD is discussed later in this article in the section

                    on smoking-related diffuse lung disease

                    The patients described by Liebow et al [112] were

                    on average slightly younger than patients with UIP

                    and their symptoms were usually milder Clubbing

                    was uncommon but in later series some patients with

                    clubbing were identified [4] Most patients have a

                    subacute lung disease of weeks to months of evo-

                    lution The predominant finding on the radiograph and

                    HRCT in patients with DIP consists of ground-glass

                    opacities particularly at the bases and at the costo-

                    phrenic angles [115] Some patients have mild reticu-

                    lar changes superimposed on ground-glass opacities

                    In lung biopsy the scanning magnification

                    appearance of DIP is striking (Fig 42) The alveolar

                    spaces are filled with lightly pigmented (brown)

                    macrophages and multinucleated cells are commonly

                    (brown) macrophages and multinucleated cells are commonly pre

                    present Additional important features include the

                    relative preservation of lung architecture with only

                    mild thickening of alveolar walls and absence of

                    severe fibrosis or honeycombing [116ndash118] Inter-

                    stitial mononuclear inflammation is seen sometimes

                    with scattered lymphoid follicles The histologic

                    appearance of DIP is not specific It is commonly

                    present in other diffuse and localized lung diseases

                    including UIP asbestosis [119] and other dust-

                    related diseases [120] DIP-like reactions occur after

                    nitrofurantoin therapy [121122] and in alveolar

                    spaces adjacent to the nodules of PLCH (see later

                    section on smoking-related diseases)

                    Cases have been reported in which classic DIP

                    seems clear that DIP represents a nonspecific reaction

                    and more commonly occurs in smokers It is critical

                    to distinguish between DIP and UIP especially

                    because these diseases are regarded as different from

                    one another Research has shown conclusively that

                    the clinical features are different the prognosis is

                    much better in DIP and DIP may respond to

                    corticosteroid administration [124] whereas UIP

                    does not [62]

                    accumulation of lipid-rich eosinophilic material

                    [125] PAP likely occurs as a result of overproduction

                    of surfactant by type II cells impaired clearance of

                    surfactant by alveolar macrophages or a combination

                    of these mechanisms The disease can occur as an

                    idiopathic form but also occurs in the settings of

                    occupational disease (especially dust-related) drug-

                    induced injury hematologic diseases and in many

                    settings of immunodeficiency [125ndash128] PAP is

                    commonly associated with exposure to inhaled

                    crystalline material and silica although other sub-

                    stances have been implicated [126] The idiopathic

                    form is the most common presentation with a male

                    predominance and an age range of 30 to 50 years

                    The usual presenting symptom is insidious dyspnea

                    sometimes with cough [129] although the clinical

                    symptoms are often less dramatic than the radio-

                    logic abnormalities

                    attenuation and consolidation are often sharply

                    demarcated from the surrounding normal lung with-

                    out an apparent anatomic correlation [130ndash132]

                    appearance is distinctive if not diagnostic Pink

                    treatment can be accomplished with one or more

                    remission and excellent long-term survival [133]

                    associated with nodules For most of the diffuse

                    ILDs the nodules are small and appreciated best

                    under the microscope In some instances nodules

                    Sarcoidosis

                    Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease

                    of uncertain origin The disease commonly affects the

                    lungs [134135] The origin pathogenesis and

                    epidemiology of sarcoidosis suggest that it is a

                    disorder of immune regulation [136ndash138] The

                    observation that sarcoid granulomas recur after lung

                    transplantation [139ndash141] seems to underscore fur-

                    ther the notion that this is an acquired systemic

                    abnormality of immunity It also emphasizes the fact

                    that even profound immunosuppression (such as that

                    used in transplantation) may be ineffective in halting

                    disease progression for the subset whose condition

                    persists and progresses to lung fibrosis

                    Sarcoidosis occurs most frequently in young

                    adults but has been described in all ages There is a

                    decreased incidence of sarcoidosis in cigarette smok-

                    ers Many patients with intrathoracic sarcoidosis are

                    symptom free Systemic manifestations may be

                    identified (in decreasing frequency) in lymph nodes

                    eyes liver skin spleen salivary glands bone heart

                    and kidneys Breathlessness is the most common

                    pulmonary symptom

                    The chest radiographic appearance is often char-

                    acteristic with a combination of symmetrical bilateral

                    hilar and paratracheal lymph node enlargement

                    together with a varied pattern of parenchymal

                    involvement including linear nodular and ground-

                    glass opacities [142] In approximately 25 of the

                    patients the radiographic appearance is atypical and

                    in approximately 10 it is normal [143] Staging of

                    the disease is based on pattern of involvement on

                    plain chest radiographs only [135142]

                    The histopathologic hallmark of sarcoidosis is the

                    presence of well-formed granulomas without necrosis

                    (Fig 45) Granulomas are classically distributed

                    along lymphatic channels of the bronchovascular

                    bundles interlobular septa and pleura (Fig 46) The

                    area between granulomas is frequently sclerotic and

                    adjacent small granulomas tend to coalesce into larger

                    nodules Because of involvement of the broncho-

                    vascular bundles and the characteristic histology

                    sarcoidosis is one of the few diffuse lung diseases

                    that can be diagnosed with a high degree of success

                    by transbronchial biopsy (Fig 47) [144] Although

                    necrosis is not a feature of the disease sometimes

                    feature of diffuse panbronchiolitis is the accumulation

                    of many pale vacuolated macrophages in the walls

                    Pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis (lym-

                    phangitis carcinomatosa) is a form of metastatic

                    carcinoma that involves the lung primarily within

                    lymphatics The disease produces a miliary nodular

                    pattern at scanning magnification Lymphangitic

                    carcinoma is typically adenocarcinoma The most

                    common sites of origin are breast lung and stomach

                    although primary disease in pancreas ovary kidney

                    and uterine cervix also can give rise to this

                    manifestation of metastatic spread Patients often

                    present with insidious onset of dyspnea that is

                    frequently accompanied by an irritating cough The

                    rately reflect the microscopic distribution in this

                    disease with uneven thickening of the bronchovas-

                    cular bundles and lobular septa which gives them a

                    beaded appearance [155156]

                    Histopathologically malignant tumor cells are

                    typically present in small aggregates within lym-

                    phatic channels of the bronchovascular sheath and

                    pleura (Fig 52) Variable amounts of tumor may be

                    present throughout the lung in the interstitium of the

                    alveolar walls in the airspaces and in small muscular

                    pulmonary arteries This latter finding (microangio-

                    pathic obliterative endarteritis) may be the origin of

                    the edema inflammation and interstitial fibrosis that

                    frequently accompany the disease and likely accounts

                    for the clinical and radiologic impression of nonneo-

                    those that occur around the joints) also can be seen

                    occasionally in the walls of airways which results in partial

                    airways (eg constrictive bronchiolitis) (2) vasculo-

                    pathic conditions (eg pulmonary hypertension) and

                    (3) two diseases that may be dominated by cysts the

                    can occur as a result of infection toxic inhalational

                    and as an idiopathic form Outside of the setting of

                    litis obliteransrsquorsquo (having histopathology similar to

                    constrictive bronchiolitis) occurs as a chronic mani-

                    festation of organ rejection the diagnosis presents a

                    challenge for pulmonologists and pathologists alike

                    In this section we present a few recognized forms of

                    nonndashtransplant-associated constrictive bronchiolitis

                    Irritants and infections

                    Many irritant gases can produce severe bronchi-

                    olitis This inflammatory injury may be followed by

                    the accumulation of loose granulation tissue and

                    finally by complete stenosis and occlusion of the

                    airways The best known of these agents are nitrogen

                    dioxide [158] sulfur dioxide [159] and ammonia

                    [160] Viral infection also can cause permanent

                    bronchiolar injury particularly adenovirus infection

                    [161] Mycoplasma pneumonia is also cited as a

                    potential cause [162] The course of events is similar

                    to that for the toxic gases Variable degrees of

                    bronchiectasis or bronchioloectasis may occur sec-

                    ondarily up- and downstream from the area of

                    occlusion Lung biopsy is performed rarely and then

                    usually because the patient is young and unusual

                    airflow obstruction is present Occasionally mixed

                    obstruction and restriction may occur presumably on

                    the basis of diffuse peribronchiolar scarring This

                    airway-associated scarring may produce CT findings

                    of lsquolsquointerstitialrsquorsquo disease The airway lesions are subtle

                    but can be recognized by variable reduction in

                    bronchiolar luminal diameter compared with the

                    adjacent pulmonary artery branch (Normally these

                    should be roughly equal in diameter when viewed

                    as cross-sections) The diagnosis depends on careful

                    clinical correlation and sometimes the addition of a

                    comparison between inspiratory and expiratory

                    HRCT scans which typically shows prominent

                    mosaic air trapping

                    Rheumatoid bronchiolitis

                    Patients with RA may develop constrictive bron-

                    chiolitis as a consequence of their disease In some

                    patients small rheumatoid nodules can be seen in the

                    walls of airways which results in their partial or total

                    occlusion (Fig 53) From a practical point of view

                    the lesions are focal within the airways often in small

                    bronchi and may not be visualized easily in the

                    biopsy specimen Because of the widespread recog-

                    nition of rheumatoid bronchiolitis biopsy is rarely

                    performed in these patients Morphologically scat-

                    tered occlusion of small bronchi and bronchioles is

                    observed and is associated with the presence of loose

                    connective tissue in their lumens

                    bronchiolar fibrosis

                    In 1992 Aguayo et al [163] reported six patients

                    with moderate chronic airflow obstruction all of

                    whom never smoked Diffuse neuroendocrine cell

                    hyperplasia of the bronchioles associated with partial

                    or total occlusion of airway lumens by fibrous tissue

                    was present in all six patients (Fig 54) Three of the

                    patients also had peripheral carcinoid tumors and

                    three had progressive dyspnea

                    In a study of 25 peripheral carcinoid tumors that

                    occurred in smokers and nonsmokers Miller and

                    Muller [164] identified 19 patients (76) with

                    neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of the airways which

                    occurred mostly in bronchioles Eight patients (32)

                    adjacent to the tumor and in tissue blocks taken well

                    away from tumor Less than half of these airways

                    were partially or totally occluded The mildest lesion

                    consisted of linear zones of neuroendocrine cell

                    hyperplasia with focal subepithelial fibrosis The

                    most severely involved bronchioles showed total

                    Unexplained chronic airflow obstruction that

                    study of 2094 patients with a forced expiratory

                    60 of predicted [165] 10 patients (9 women) were

                    identified They ranged in age from 27 to 60 years

                    Five were found to have RA and presumably

                    rheumatoid bronchiolitis The other 5 had airflow

                    obstruction of unknown cause believed to be caused

                    by lsquolsquobronchiolitisrsquorsquo Other studies also identified a

                    cryptogenic form of bronchiolar disease that produces

                    airflow obstruction [166167] When biopsies have

                    been performed constrictive bronchiolitis seems to

                    be the common pathologic manifestation (Fig 55)

                    It is fair to conclude that a rare but fairly distinct

                    clinical syndrome exists that consists of mild airflow

                    obstruction and usually affects middle-aged women

                    older women and rarely in men [174] There is a

                    strong association between the inherited genetic

                    disorder known as tuberous sclerosis complex and

                    complex have LAM as diagnosed by chest HRCT

                    [175] The most common presenting symptoms are

                    spontaneous pneumothorax and exertional dyspnea

                    Others symptoms include chyloptosis hemoptysis

                    and chest pain The characteristic findings on CT are

                    numerous cysts separated by normal-appearing lung

                    parenchyma The cysts range from 2 to 10 mm in

                    diameter and are seen much better with HRCT

                    these spaces have variable amounts of bundled

                    spindled cells (Fig 59) The nuclei of these spindled

                    cells (Fig 60) are larger than those of normal smooth

                    PLCH affects smokers between the ages of 20 and

                    40 The most common presenting symptom is cough

                    with dyspnea but some patients may be asymptom-

                    atic despite chest radiographic abnormalities Chest

                    pain fever weight loss and hemoptysis have been

                    reported to occur HRCT scan shows nearly patho-

                    gnomonic changes including predominately upper

                    and middle lung zone nodules and cysts [185186]

                    The classic lesion of PLCH is illustrated in

                    Fig 67 Characteristically the nodules have a stellate

                    shape and are always centered on the bronchioles

                    directed against S100 protein and CD1a is helpful in

                    highlighting numerous positively stained Langerhansrsquo cells

                    within the cellular lesions (immunohistochemical stain using

                    antibodies directed against S100 protein) (immuno-alkaline

                    phosphatase method brown chromogen)

                    cellular lesions (Fig 68) The Langerhansrsquo cell has a

                    slightly pale basophilic nucleus with characteristic

                    resolved PLCH) consist only of fibrotic centrilobular

                    scars [187] with a stellate configuration (Fig 70)

                    Microcysts and honeycombing may be present

                    Immunohistochemistry for S-100 protein and CD1a

                    may be used to confirm the diagnosis but this is

                    usually unnecessary and even may be confounding in

                    late lesions in which Langerhansrsquo cells may be

                    sparse and the stellate scar is the diagnostic lesion

                    Up to 20 of transbronchial biopsies in patients

                    with Langerhansrsquo cell histiocytosis may have diag-

                    nostic changes The presence of more than 5

                    Langerhansrsquo cells in bronchoalveolar lavage is

                    considered diagnostic of Langerhansrsquo cell histiocy-

                    tosis in the appropriate clinical setting Unfortunately

                    cigarette smokers without Langerhansrsquo cell histiocy-

                    tosis also may have increased numbers of Langer-

                    hansrsquo cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage

                      introduced in 1986 to describe a syndrome of rapidly

                      evolving acute respiratory failure that occurred in

                      immunocompetent individuals [32] The patients

                      described included three men and five women (two

                      specimens depend on the stage at which the biopsy is

                      taken and tend to be relatively diffuse throughout the

                      specimen Like other forms of DAD the early stages

                      Rheumatoid arthritis

                      The most common thoracic complication of RA is

                      pleural disease (effusion or pleuritis) which is seen in

                      as much as 50 of patients in autopsy studies

                      According to a study by Walker and Wright [33]

                      approximately one-third of the patients with pleural

                      effusions also have pulmonary manifestations of RA

                      in the form of nodules or interstitial disease Nodules

                      may be seen in the lung parenchyma and occasionally

                      in the walls of airways in persons with RA which

                      represents lymphoid hyperplasia with germinal cen-

                      ters in most instances (Fig 18) The interstitial

                      pneumonia of RA may be cellular with little fibrosis

                      (cellular NSIP-like see later discussion) fibrotic with

                      honeycomb cystic remodeling (UIP-like see later

                      discussion) and occasionally may have a macro-

                      phage-rich DIP pattern (discussed in Pattern 4) [19]

                      manifestation (A) edema in the alveolar spaces and interstitium is typical with hyaline membranes and preservation of the

                      alveolar spaces As the process evolves (2ndash4 days after onset) hyaline membranes become thicker and there is greater cellularity

                      in the interstitium as inflammatory cells begin to accrue (B) By the end of the first week (C) alveolar spaces are overwhelmed

                      by reparative changes with myofibroblasts that produce an organizing pneumonia pattern Over the next weeks (D) the

                      myofibroblasts become incorporated into the interstitium as the best outcome with reconstitution of the alveolar architecture

                      Systemic lupus erythematosus

                      Similar to RA SLE also commonly involves the

                      respiratory system [18] Painful pleuritis with or

                      without effusion is the most common abnormality

                      [20] Noninfectious organizing pneumonia also has

                      been reported and advanced fibrosis with honey-

                      Progressive systemic sclerosis

                      The most notable feature of lsquolsquoscleroderma lungrsquorsquo

                      is the presence of extensive alveolar wall fibrosis

                      without much inflammation (Fig 20) [35] Some

                      degree of diffuse lung fibrosis occurs in nearly every

                      patient with pulmonary involvement [18] Patients

                      with longstanding progressive systemic sclerosisndash

                      related lung fibrosis are at high risk of developing

                      ally without true vasculitis is typical if sufficiently

                      severe it produces pulmonary hypertension [36]

                      systemic sclerosis than in RA or SLE

                      Mixed connective tissue disease

                      Mixed connective tissue disease is relatively

                      common in producing interstitial pulmonary disease

                      or pleural effusions [18] In many cases the

                      syndrome generally evolve over weeks to months

                      and are analogous to the disease manifestations in the

                      Sjogrenrsquos syndrome is broad especially when Sjog-

                      renrsquos syndrome is accompanied by other connective

                      (Fig 21) [18] Patients with Sjogrenrsquos syndrome also

                      are at risk for LIP and occasionally develop lympho-

                      proliferative disorders that involve the pulmonary

                      interstitium ranging from relatively low-grade extra-

                      Certain chronic drug reactions

                      Many drugs are reported to produce lung fibrosis

                      acute and chronic toxicity and has been used widely

                      as an experimental model of pulmonary fibrosis

                      Bleomycin

                      Bleomycin is an antineoplastic agent that becomes

                      concentrated in skin lungs and lymphatic fluid

                      Pulmonary lesions may be dose-related [4041] and

                      prior radiotherapy seems to predispose to toxicity

                      [42] The initial site of injury in experimental models

                      seems to be the venous endothelial cell [43] but type I

                      cell injury allows fibrin and other serum proteins to

                      leak into the alveolus Type II cell hyperplasia occurs

                      as a regenerative phenomenon that results in atypical

                      enlarged forms and intra-alveolar fibroplasia occurs

                      (often in a subpleural distribution) eventually result-

                      median survival in the range of 3 years Only 5 of 48

                      patients with clinical follow-up died of progressive

                      encompassed by this term [114]

                      HRCT has added a new dimension to the diagnosis

                      seen in approximately 90 of patients at presentation

                      characteristic nodular external surface (Fig 29)

                      Histopathologically UIP is best envisioned as a

                      smoldering alveolitis of unknown cause accompanied

                      by microscopic foci of injury repair and lung

                      remodeling with dense fibrosis The disease begins

                      at the periphery of the pulmonary lobule and has a

                      consistent tendency to leave lung fibrosis and honey-

                      progresses from the periphery to the center of the

                      lobule (Fig 30) This transition from dense fibrosis

                      with or without honeycombing to near normal lung

                      consequence of progressive parenchymal collapse

                      Overall acute exacerbation has a poor prognosis and

                      death within 1 week is not unusual Pathologically

                      acute lung injury that resembles DAD or organizing

                      Hypersensitivity pneumonitis

                      Lung disease can result from inhalation of various

                      organic antigens In most of these exposures the

                      disease is immunologically mediated presumably

                      through a type III hypersensitivity reaction although

                      the immunologic mechanisms have not been well

                      documented in all conditions [68] The prototypic

                      example is so-called lsquolsquofarmerrsquos lungrsquorsquo which is

                      caused by hypersensitivity to thermophilic actino-

                      mycetes (Micromonospora vulgaris and Thermophyl-

                      liae polyspora) that grow in moldy hay

                      The radiologic appearance depends on the stage of

                      the disease In the acute stage airspace consolidation

                      is the dominant feature In the subacute stage there is

                      a fine nodular pattern or ground-glass opacification

                      The chronic stage is dominated by fibrosis with

                      nias By consensus LIP has been included in the

                      current classification of the idiopathic interstitial

                      pneumonias despite decades of controversy about

                      what diseases are encompassed by this term In 1969

                      Liebow and Carrington [3] briefly presented a group

                      of patients and used the term LIP to describe their

                      biopsy findings The defining criteria were morphol-

                      ogic and included lsquolsquoan exquisitely interstitial infil-

                      tratersquorsquo that was described as generally polymorphous

                      and consisted of lymphocytes plasma cells and large

                      mononuclear cells (Fig 38) Several associated

                      clinical conditions have been described including

                      connective tissue diseases bone marrow transplanta-

                      syndromes and diffuse lymphoid hyperplasia of the

                      intestine This disease is considered idiopathic only

                      when a cause or association cannot be identified

                      The idiopathic form of LIP occurs most com-

                      may be affected Women are more commonly

                      affected than men Cough dyspnea and progressive

                      bundles and thin-walled cysts may be seen [90]

                      LIP is best thought of as a histopathologic pattern

                      rather than a diagnosis because LIP as proposed

                      initially has morphologic features that are difficult to

                      separate accurately from other lymphoplasmacellular

                      interstitial infiltrates including low-grade lymphomas

                      of extranodal marginal zone type (maltoma) The LIP

                      pattern requires clinical and laboratory correlation for

                      granulomas may be present [91] Honeycombing with

                      interstitial fibrosis can occur Immunophenotyping

                      shows lack of clonality in the lymphoid infiltrate

                      When LIP accompanies HIV infection a wide age

                      range occurs and it is commonly found in children

                      [92ndash95] These HIV-infected patients have the same

                      nonspecific respiratory symptoms but weight loss is

                      more common Other features of HIV and AIDS

                      such as lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly

                      are also more common Mean survival is worse than

                      that of LIP alone with adults living an average of

                      14 months and children an average of 32 months

                      [96] The morphology of LIP with or without HIV

                      is similar

                      airspace filling

                      A significant number of ILDs are attended or

                      dominated by the presence of material filling the

                      alveolar spaces Depending on the composition of

                      this airspace filling process a narrow differential

                      diagnosis typically emerges The prototype for the

                      airspace filling pattern is organizing pneumonia in

                      which immature fibroblasts (myofibroblasts) form

                      polypoid growths within the terminal airways and

                      alveoli Organizing pneumonia is a common and

                      nonspecific reaction to lung injury Other material

                      also can occur in the airspaces such as neutrophils in

                      Neutrophils

                      When neutrophils fill the alveolar spaces the

                      disease is usually acute clinically and bacterial

                      pneumonia leads the differential diagnosis (Fig 40)

                      orrhage can be associated with brisk episodes of

                      neutrophilic capillaritis these cells can shed into the

                      automatic indictment of infection Unfortunately the

                      lung has a limited capacity for repair after any injury

                      and organizing pneumonia often is a part of this

                      process regardless of the exact mechanism of injury

                      The more generic term lsquolsquoairspace organizationrsquorsquo is

                      preferable but longstanding habits are hard to

                      change Some of the more common causes of the

                      organizing pneumonia pattern are presented in Box 7

                      One particular form of diffuse lung disease is

                      characterized by airspace organization and is idio-

                      pathic This clinicopathologic condition was previ-

                      of this disorder recently was changed to COP

                      Idiopathic cryptogenic organizing pneumonia

                      In 1983 Davison et al [97] described a group of

                      patients with COP and 2 years later Epler et al [98]

                      described similar cases as idiopathic BOOP The pro-

                      sonable consensus has emerged regarding what is

                      being called COP [97ndash100] King and Mortensen

                      [101] recently compiled the findings from 4 major

                      case series reported from North America adding 18

                      of their own cases (112 cases in all) Based on

                      these compiled data the following description of

                      COP emerges

                      The evolution of clinical symptoms is subacute

                      (4 months on average and 3 months in most) and

                      follows a flu-like illness in 40 of cases The average

                      age at presentation is 58 years (range 21ndash80 years)

                      and there is no sex predominance Dyspnea and

                      cough are present in half the patients Fever is

                      common and leukocytosis occurs in approximately

                      one fourth The erythrocyte sedimentation rate is

                      typically elevated [102] Clubbing is rare Restrictive

                      lung disease is present in approximately half of the

                      patients with COP and the diffusing capacity is

                      reduced in most Airflow obstruction is mild and

                      typically affects patients who are smokers

                      Chest radiographs show patchy bilateral (some-

                      times unilateral) nonsegmental airspace consolidation

                      [103] which may be migratory and similar to those of

                      eosinophilic pneumonia Reticulation may be seen in

                      10 to 40 of patients but rarely is predominant

                      [103104] The most characteristic HRCT features of

                      COP are patchy unilateral or bilateral areas of

                      consolidation which have a predominantly peribron-

                      chial or subpleural distribution (or both) in approxi-

                      ill-defined nodules (3ndash10 mm in diameter) are seen

                      [105ndash108] and a reticular pattern is seen in 10 to

                      30 of cases

                      The major histopathologic feature of COP is

                      alveolar space organization (so-called lsquolsquoMasson

                      bodiesrsquorsquo) but it also extends to involve alveolar ducts

                      and respiratory bronchioles in which the process has

                      a characteristic polypoid and fibromyxoid appearance

                      (Fig 41) The parenchymal involvement tends to be

                      patchy All of the organization seems to be recent

                      Unfortunately the term BOOP has become one of the

                      most commonly misused descriptions in lung pathol-

                      ogy much to the dismay of clinicians Pathologists

                      use the term to describe nonspecific organization that

                      occurs in alveolar ducts and alveolar spaces of lung

                      biopsies Clinicians hear the term BOOP or BOOP

                      pattern and often interpret this as a clinical diagnosis

                      of idiopathic BOOP Because of this misuse there is a

                      growing consensus [101109] regarding use of the

                      term COP to describe the clinicopathologic entity for

                      the following reasons (1) Although COP is primarily

                      an organizing pneumonia in up to 30 or more of

                      chiolitis obliteransrsquorsquo has been used in so many

                      different ways that it has become a highly ambiguous

                      term (3) Bronchiolitis generally produces obstruction

                      to airflow and COP is primarily characterized by a

                      restrictive defect

                      The expected prognosis of COP is relatively good

                      In 63 of affected patients the condition resolves

                      mainly as a response to systemic corticosteroids

                      Twelve percent die typically in approximately

                      3 months The disease persists in the remaining sub-

                      set or relapses if steroids are tapered too quickly

                      Patients with COP who fare poorly frequently have

                      comorbid disorders such as connective tissue disease

                      or thyroiditis or have been taking nitrofurantoin

                      [110] A recent study showed that the presence of

                      reticular opacities in a patient with COP portended

                      a worse prognosis [111]

                      Macrophages

                      Macrophages are an integral part of the lungrsquos

                      defense system These cells are migratory and

                      generally do not accumulate in the lung to a

                      the airways or other pathology In smokers dusty

                      brown macrophages tend to accumulate around the

                      terminal airways and peribronchiolar alveolar spaces

                      and in association with interstitial fibrosis The

                      Beyond smoking some infectious diseases are

                      characterized by a prominent alveolar macrophage

                      reaction such as the malacoplakia-like reaction to

                      Idiopathic desquamative interstitial pneumonia

                      In 1965 Liebow et al [112] described 18 cases of

                      diffuse lung diseases that differed in many respects

                      from UIP The striking histologic feature was the pre-

                      sence of numerous cells filling the airspaces Liebow

                      et al believed that the cells were chiefly desquamated

                      alveolar epithelial lining cells and coined the term

                      lsquolsquodesquamative interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo It is currently

                      known that these cells are predominately macro-

                      senting different expressions of disease severity [115]

                      RB-ILD is discussed later in this article in the section

                      on smoking-related diffuse lung disease

                      The patients described by Liebow et al [112] were

                      on average slightly younger than patients with UIP

                      and their symptoms were usually milder Clubbing

                      was uncommon but in later series some patients with

                      clubbing were identified [4] Most patients have a

                      subacute lung disease of weeks to months of evo-

                      lution The predominant finding on the radiograph and

                      HRCT in patients with DIP consists of ground-glass

                      opacities particularly at the bases and at the costo-

                      phrenic angles [115] Some patients have mild reticu-

                      lar changes superimposed on ground-glass opacities

                      relative preservation of lung architecture with only

                      mild thickening of alveolar walls and absence of

                      severe fibrosis or honeycombing [116ndash118] Inter-

                      stitial mononuclear inflammation is seen sometimes

                      with scattered lymphoid follicles The histologic

                      appearance of DIP is not specific It is commonly

                      present in other diffuse and localized lung diseases

                      including UIP asbestosis [119] and other dust-

                      related diseases [120] DIP-like reactions occur after

                      nitrofurantoin therapy [121122] and in alveolar

                      spaces adjacent to the nodules of PLCH (see later

                      section on smoking-related diseases)

                      seems clear that DIP represents a nonspecific reaction

                      and more commonly occurs in smokers It is critical

                      to distinguish between DIP and UIP especially

                      because these diseases are regarded as different from

                      one another Research has shown conclusively that

                      the clinical features are different the prognosis is

                      much better in DIP and DIP may respond to

                      corticosteroid administration [124] whereas UIP

                      accumulation of lipid-rich eosinophilic material

                      [125] PAP likely occurs as a result of overproduction

                      of surfactant by type II cells impaired clearance of

                      surfactant by alveolar macrophages or a combination

                      of these mechanisms The disease can occur as an

                      idiopathic form but also occurs in the settings of

                      occupational disease (especially dust-related) drug-

                      settings of immunodeficiency [125ndash128] PAP is

                      commonly associated with exposure to inhaled

                      crystalline material and silica although other sub-

                      stances have been implicated [126] The idiopathic

                      form is the most common presentation with a male

                      predominance and an age range of 30 to 50 years

                      The usual presenting symptom is insidious dyspnea

                      sometimes with cough [129] although the clinical

                      treatment can be accomplished with one or more

                      Sarcoidosis

                      Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease

                      of uncertain origin The disease commonly affects the

                      lungs [134135] The origin pathogenesis and

                      epidemiology of sarcoidosis suggest that it is a

                      disorder of immune regulation [136ndash138] The

                      observation that sarcoid granulomas recur after lung

                      transplantation [139ndash141] seems to underscore fur-

                      ther the notion that this is an acquired systemic

                      abnormality of immunity It also emphasizes the fact

                      that even profound immunosuppression (such as that

                      used in transplantation) may be ineffective in halting

                      disease progression for the subset whose condition

                      persists and progresses to lung fibrosis

                      Sarcoidosis occurs most frequently in young

                      adults but has been described in all ages There is a

                      ers Many patients with intrathoracic sarcoidosis are

                      symptom free Systemic manifestations may be

                      identified (in decreasing frequency) in lymph nodes

                      and kidneys Breathlessness is the most common

                      pulmonary symptom

                      The chest radiographic appearance is often char-

                      acteristic with a combination of symmetrical bilateral

                      hilar and paratracheal lymph node enlargement

                      together with a varied pattern of parenchymal

                      involvement including linear nodular and ground-

                      glass opacities [142] In approximately 25 of the

                      patients the radiographic appearance is atypical and

                      in approximately 10 it is normal [143] Staging of

                      the disease is based on pattern of involvement on

                      plain chest radiographs only [135142]

                      The histopathologic hallmark of sarcoidosis is the

                      presence of well-formed granulomas without necrosis

                      (Fig 45) Granulomas are classically distributed

                      along lymphatic channels of the bronchovascular

                      bundles interlobular septa and pleura (Fig 46) The

                      area between granulomas is frequently sclerotic and

                      adjacent small granulomas tend to coalesce into larger

                      by transbronchial biopsy (Fig 47) [144] Although

                      necrosis is not a feature of the disease sometimes

                      (Fig 50) The characteristic and nearly diagnostic

                      feature of diffuse panbronchiolitis is the accumulation

                      of many pale vacuolated macrophages in the walls

                      and lumens of respiratory bronchioles and in adjacent

                      airspaces (Fig 51) Japanese investigators suspect

                      that the condition occurs in the United States and has

                      been underrecognized This view was substantiated

                      Pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis (lym-

                      phangitis carcinomatosa) is a form of metastatic

                      carcinoma that involves the lung primarily within

                      lymphatics The disease produces a miliary nodular

                      pattern at scanning magnification Lymphangitic

                      carcinoma is typically adenocarcinoma The most

                      common sites of origin are breast lung and stomach

                      although primary disease in pancreas ovary kidney

                      and uterine cervix also can give rise to this

                      present with insidious onset of dyspnea that is

                      disease with uneven thickening of the bronchovas-

                      cular bundles and lobular septa which gives them a

                      beaded appearance [155156]

                      Histopathologically malignant tumor cells are

                      typically present in small aggregates within lym-

                      phatic channels of the bronchovascular sheath and

                      pleura (Fig 52) Variable amounts of tumor may be

                      alveolar walls in the airspaces and in small muscular

                      pulmonary arteries This latter finding (microangio-

                      the edema inflammation and interstitial fibrosis that

                      frequently accompany the disease and likely accounts

                      for the clinical and radiologic impression of nonneo-

                      challenge for pulmonologists and pathologists alike

                      In this section we present a few recognized forms of

                      nonndashtransplant-associated constrictive bronchiolitis

                      Irritants and infections

                      Many irritant gases can produce severe bronchi-

                      olitis This inflammatory injury may be followed by

                      the accumulation of loose granulation tissue and

                      finally by complete stenosis and occlusion of the

                      airways The best known of these agents are nitrogen

                      dioxide [158] sulfur dioxide [159] and ammonia

                      [160] Viral infection also can cause permanent

                      bronchiolar injury particularly adenovirus infection

                      [161] Mycoplasma pneumonia is also cited as a

                      potential cause [162] The course of events is similar

                      to that for the toxic gases Variable degrees of

                      bronchiectasis or bronchioloectasis may occur sec-

                      ondarily up- and downstream from the area of

                      occlusion Lung biopsy is performed rarely and then

                      usually because the patient is young and unusual

                      airflow obstruction is present Occasionally mixed

                      obstruction and restriction may occur presumably on

                      the basis of diffuse peribronchiolar scarring This

                      airway-associated scarring may produce CT findings

                      of lsquolsquointerstitialrsquorsquo disease The airway lesions are subtle

                      but can be recognized by variable reduction in

                      bronchiolar luminal diameter compared with the

                      adjacent pulmonary artery branch (Normally these

                      should be roughly equal in diameter when viewed

                      as cross-sections) The diagnosis depends on careful

                      clinical correlation and sometimes the addition of a

                      comparison between inspiratory and expiratory

                      HRCT scans which typically shows prominent

                      mosaic air trapping

                      Patients with RA may develop constrictive bron-

                      chiolitis as a consequence of their disease In some

                      patients small rheumatoid nodules can be seen in the

                      walls of airways which results in their partial or total

                      occlusion (Fig 53) From a practical point of view

                      the lesions are focal within the airways often in small

                      bronchi and may not be visualized easily in the

                      biopsy specimen Because of the widespread recog-

                      nition of rheumatoid bronchiolitis biopsy is rarely

                      performed in these patients Morphologically scat-

                      tered occlusion of small bronchi and bronchioles is

                      observed and is associated with the presence of loose

                      connective tissue in their lumens

                      bronchiolar fibrosis

                      In 1992 Aguayo et al [163] reported six patients

                      with moderate chronic airflow obstruction all of

                      whom never smoked Diffuse neuroendocrine cell

                      hyperplasia of the bronchioles associated with partial

                      or total occlusion of airway lumens by fibrous tissue

                      was present in all six patients (Fig 54) Three of the

                      patients also had peripheral carcinoid tumors and

                      three had progressive dyspnea

                      In a study of 25 peripheral carcinoid tumors that

                      occurred in smokers and nonsmokers Miller and

                      Muller [164] identified 19 patients (76) with

                      neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of the airways which

                      occurred mostly in bronchioles Eight patients (32)

                      syndrome) It also occurs on the basis of many other injuries

                      cells (Fig 60) are larger than those of normal smooth

                      Pulmonary Langerhansrsquo cell histiocytosis

                      PLCH (formerly known as pulmonary eosino-

                      philic granuloma or pulmonary histiocytosis X) is

                      currently recognized as a lung disease strongly

                      associated with cigarette smoking Proliferation of

                      Langerhansrsquo cells is associated with the formation of

                      stellate airway-centered lung scars and cystic change

                      in affected individuals The incidence of the disease is

                      unknown but it is generally considered to be a rare

                      complication of cigarette smoking [185]

                      PLCH affects smokers between the ages of 20 and

                      40 The most common presenting symptom is cough

                      with dyspnea but some patients may be asymptom-

                      atic despite chest radiographic abnormalities Chest

                      pain fever weight loss and hemoptysis have been

                      reported to occur HRCT scan shows nearly patho-

                      gnomonic changes including predominately upper

                      and middle lung zone nodules and cysts [185186]

                      The classic lesion of PLCH is illustrated in

                      Fig 67 Characteristically the nodules have a stellate

                      shape and are always centered on the bronchioles

                      may be used to confirm the diagnosis but this is

                      usually unnecessary and even may be confounding in

                      late lesions in which Langerhansrsquo cells may be

                      sparse and the stellate scar is the diagnostic lesion

                        specimens depend on the stage at which the biopsy is

                        taken and tend to be relatively diffuse throughout the

                        specimen Like other forms of DAD the early stages

                        show an exudative phase with edema and hyaline

                        membranes Bronchioles may show squamous meta-

                        plasia that extend peripherally to involve adjacent

                        alveolar walls Organizing arterial thrombi were seen

                        The collagen vascular diseases as a group involve

                        the respiratory system frequently Each of these

                        diseases may involve the lung and pleura in several

                        different ways Although the lung morphologic

                        abnormalities are not specific for any one of these

                        diseases some features are more commonly mani-

                        fested than others in each of them (Table 4) A few of

                        the more prominent collagen vascular diseases known

                        to produce fibrosis are presented herein

                        Rheumatoid arthritis

                        The most common thoracic complication of RA is

                        pleural disease (effusion or pleuritis) which is seen in

                        as much as 50 of patients in autopsy studies

                        According to a study by Walker and Wright [33]

                        approximately one-third of the patients with pleural

                        effusions also have pulmonary manifestations of RA

                        in the form of nodules or interstitial disease Nodules

                        may be seen in the lung parenchyma and occasionally

                        in the walls of airways in persons with RA which

                        represents lymphoid hyperplasia with germinal cen-

                        ters in most instances (Fig 18) The interstitial

                        pneumonia of RA may be cellular with little fibrosis

                        (cellular NSIP-like see later discussion) fibrotic with

                        honeycomb cystic remodeling (UIP-like see later

                        discussion) and occasionally may have a macro-

                        phage-rich DIP pattern (discussed in Pattern 4) [19]

                        manifestation (A) edema in the alveolar spaces and interstitium is typical with hyaline membranes and preservation of the

                        alveolar spaces As the process evolves (2ndash4 days after onset) hyaline membranes become thicker and there is greater cellularity

                        in the interstitium as inflammatory cells begin to accrue (B) By the end of the first week (C) alveolar spaces are overwhelmed

                        by reparative changes with myofibroblasts that produce an organizing pneumonia pattern Over the next weeks (D) the

                        myofibroblasts become incorporated into the interstitium as the best outcome with reconstitution of the alveolar architecture

                        Systemic lupus erythematosus

                        Similar to RA SLE also commonly involves the

                        respiratory system [18] Painful pleuritis with or

                        without effusion is the most common abnormality

                        [20] Noninfectious organizing pneumonia also has

                        been reported and advanced fibrosis with honey-

                        comb remodeling occurs (Fig 19) [34]

                        is the presence of extensive alveolar wall fibrosis

                        without much inflammation (Fig 20) [35] Some

                        degree of diffuse lung fibrosis occurs in nearly every

                        patient with pulmonary involvement [18] Patients

                        with longstanding progressive systemic sclerosisndash

                        related lung fibrosis are at high risk of developing

                        systemic sclerosis than in RA or SLE

                        common in producing interstitial pulmonary disease

                        or pleural effusions [18] In many cases the

                        The common pulmonary lesions of Sjogrenrsquos

                        syndrome generally evolve over weeks to months

                        and are analogous to the disease manifestations in the

                        salivary glands The range of disease patterns in

                        Sjogrenrsquos syndrome is broad especially when Sjog-

                        renrsquos syndrome is accompanied by other connective

                        tissue disease A hallmark of pure Sjogrenrsquos syndrome

                        in the lung is marked lymphoreticular infiltrates in

                        the submucosal glands of the tracheobronchial tree

                        (Fig 21) [18] Patients with Sjogrenrsquos syndrome also

                        are at risk for LIP and occasionally develop lympho-

                        proliferative disorders that involve the pulmonary

                        interstitium ranging from relatively low-grade extra-

                        Certain chronic drug reactions

                        Many drugs are reported to produce lung fibrosis

                        Bleomycin is an antineoplastic agent that becomes

                        concentrated in skin lungs and lymphatic fluid

                        Pulmonary lesions may be dose-related [4041] and

                        prior radiotherapy seems to predispose to toxicity

                        [42] The initial site of injury in experimental models

                        seems to be the venous endothelial cell [43] but type I

                        cell injury allows fibrin and other serum proteins to

                        leak into the alveolus Type II cell hyperplasia occurs

                        as a regenerative phenomenon that results in atypical

                        enlarged forms and intra-alveolar fibroplasia occurs

                        their presence is not sufficient to warrant a diagnosis

                        what diseases are encompassed by this term In 1969

                        Liebow and Carrington [3] briefly presented a group

                        of patients and used the term LIP to describe their

                        LIP is best thought of as a histopathologic pattern

                        rather than a diagnosis because LIP as proposed

                        initially has morphologic features that are difficult to

                        [92ndash95] These HIV-infected patients have the same

                        nonspecific respiratory symptoms but weight loss is

                        more common Other features of HIV and AIDS

                        such as lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly

                        dominated by the presence of material filling the

                        alveolar spaces Depending on the composition of

                        this airspace filling process a narrow differential

                        diagnosis typically emerges The prototype for the

                        airspace filling pattern is organizing pneumonia in

                        which immature fibroblasts (myofibroblasts) form

                        When neutrophils fill the alveolar spaces the

                        disease is usually acute clinically and bacterial

                        pneumonia leads the differential diagnosis (Fig 40)

                        lung has a limited capacity for repair after any injury

                        and organizing pneumonia often is a part of this

                        process regardless of the exact mechanism of injury

                        The more generic term lsquolsquoairspace organizationrsquorsquo is

                        10 to 40 of patients but rarely is predominant

                        [103104] The most characteristic HRCT features of

                        COP are patchy unilateral or bilateral areas of

                        consolidation which have a predominantly peribron-

                        30 of cases

                        The major histopathologic feature of COP is

                        alveolar space organization (so-called lsquolsquoMasson

                        bodiesrsquorsquo) but it also extends to involve alveolar ducts

                        and respiratory bronchioles in which the process has

                        a characteristic polypoid and fibromyxoid appearance

                        (Fig 41) The parenchymal involvement tends to be

                        patchy All of the organization seems to be recent

                        Unfortunately the term BOOP has become one of the

                        most commonly misused descriptions in lung pathol-

                        ogy much to the dismay of clinicians Pathologists

                        use the term to describe nonspecific organization that

                        occurs in alveolar ducts and alveolar spaces of lung

                        biopsies Clinicians hear the term BOOP or BOOP

                        pattern and often interpret this as a clinical diagnosis

                        of idiopathic BOOP Because of this misuse there is a

                        growing consensus [101109] regarding use of the

                        term COP to describe the clinicopathologic entity for

                        the following reasons (1) Although COP is primarily

                        an organizing pneumonia in up to 30 or more of

                        chiolitis obliteransrsquorsquo has been used in so many

                        different ways that it has become a highly ambiguous

                        term (3) Bronchiolitis generally produces obstruction

                        to airflow and COP is primarily characterized by a

                        restrictive defect

                        The expected prognosis of COP is relatively good

                        In 63 of affected patients the condition resolves

                        mainly as a response to systemic corticosteroids

                        Twelve percent die typically in approximately

                        3 months The disease persists in the remaining sub-

                        set or relapses if steroids are tapered too quickly

                        Patients with COP who fare poorly frequently have

                        comorbid disorders such as connective tissue disease

                        or thyroiditis or have been taking nitrofurantoin

                        [110] A recent study showed that the presence of

                        reticular opacities in a patient with COP portended

                        a worse prognosis [111]

                        Macrophages

                        generally do not accumulate in the lung to a

                        Beyond smoking some infectious diseases are

                        characterized by a prominent alveolar macrophage

                        reaction such as the malacoplakia-like reaction to

                        In 1965 Liebow et al [112] described 18 cases of

                        diffuse lung diseases that differed in many respects

                        from UIP The striking histologic feature was the pre-

                        sence of numerous cells filling the airspaces Liebow

                        et al believed that the cells were chiefly desquamated

                        alveolar epithelial lining cells and coined the term

                        lsquolsquodesquamative interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo It is currently

                        known that these cells are predominately macro-

                        senting different expressions of disease severity [115]

                        RB-ILD is discussed later in this article in the section

                        on smoking-related diffuse lung disease

                        The patients described by Liebow et al [112] were

                        on average slightly younger than patients with UIP

                        and their symptoms were usually milder Clubbing

                        was uncommon but in later series some patients with

                        clubbing were identified [4] Most patients have a

                        subacute lung disease of weeks to months of evo-

                        lution The predominant finding on the radiograph and

                        HRCT in patients with DIP consists of ground-glass

                        opacities particularly at the bases and at the costo-

                        phrenic angles [115] Some patients have mild reticu-

                        lar changes superimposed on ground-glass opacities

                        In lung biopsy the scanning magnification

                        appearance of DIP is striking (Fig 42) The alveolar

                        spaces are filled with lightly pigmented (brown)

                        relative preservation of lung architecture with only

                        mild thickening of alveolar walls and absence of

                        severe fibrosis or honeycombing [116ndash118] Inter-

                        stitial mononuclear inflammation is seen sometimes

                        with scattered lymphoid follicles The histologic

                        appearance of DIP is not specific It is commonly

                        present in other diffuse and localized lung diseases

                        including UIP asbestosis [119] and other dust-

                        related diseases [120] DIP-like reactions occur after

                        nitrofurantoin therapy [121122] and in alveolar

                        spaces adjacent to the nodules of PLCH (see later

                        section on smoking-related diseases)

                        Cases have been reported in which classic DIP

                        seems clear that DIP represents a nonspecific reaction

                        and more commonly occurs in smokers It is critical

                        to distinguish between DIP and UIP especially

                        because these diseases are regarded as different from

                        one another Research has shown conclusively that

                        the clinical features are different the prognosis is

                        much better in DIP and DIP may respond to

                        corticosteroid administration [124] whereas UIP

                        [125] PAP likely occurs as a result of overproduction

                        of surfactant by type II cells impaired clearance of

                        surfactant by alveolar macrophages or a combination

                        of these mechanisms The disease can occur as an

                        The usual presenting symptom is insidious dyspnea

                        diseases that characteristically produce well-formed

                        Sarcoidosis

                        Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease

                        of uncertain origin The disease commonly affects the

                        lungs [134135] The origin pathogenesis and

                        epidemiology of sarcoidosis suggest that it is a

                        disorder of immune regulation [136ndash138] The

                        observation that sarcoid granulomas recur after lung

                        transplantation [139ndash141] seems to underscore fur-

                        ther the notion that this is an acquired systemic

                        abnormality of immunity It also emphasizes the fact

                        that even profound immunosuppression (such as that

                        used in transplantation) may be ineffective in halting

                        disease progression for the subset whose condition

                        persists and progresses to lung fibrosis

                        Sarcoidosis occurs most frequently in young

                        adults but has been described in all ages There is a

                        decreased incidence of sarcoidosis in cigarette smok-

                        ers Many patients with intrathoracic sarcoidosis are

                        symptom free Systemic manifestations may be

                        identified (in decreasing frequency) in lymph nodes

                        eyes liver skin spleen salivary glands bone heart

                        and kidneys Breathlessness is the most common

                        pulmonary symptom

                        The chest radiographic appearance is often char-

                        acteristic with a combination of symmetrical bilateral

                        hilar and paratracheal lymph node enlargement

                        together with a varied pattern of parenchymal

                        involvement including linear nodular and ground-

                        glass opacities [142] In approximately 25 of the

                        patients the radiographic appearance is atypical and

                        in approximately 10 it is normal [143] Staging of

                        the disease is based on pattern of involvement on

                        plain chest radiographs only [135142]

                        The histopathologic hallmark of sarcoidosis is the

                        presence of well-formed granulomas without necrosis

                        (Fig 45) Granulomas are classically distributed

                        along lymphatic channels of the bronchovascular

                        bundles interlobular septa and pleura (Fig 46) The

                        area between granulomas is frequently sclerotic and

                        adjacent small granulomas tend to coalesce into larger

                        nodules Because of involvement of the broncho-

                        sarcoidosis is one of the few diffuse lung diseases

                        that can be diagnosed with a high degree of success

                        by transbronchial biopsy (Fig 47) [144] Although

                        necrosis is not a feature of the disease sometimes

                        can be seen in other granulomatous diseases There

                        excellent The disease typically resolves or improves

                        the edema inflammation and interstitial fibrosis that

                        frequently accompany the disease and likely accounts

                        challenge for pulmonologists and pathologists alike

                        In this section we present a few recognized forms of

                        nonndashtransplant-associated constrictive bronchiolitis

                        Irritants and infections

                        Many irritant gases can produce severe bronchi-

                        olitis This inflammatory injury may be followed by

                        the accumulation of loose granulation tissue and

                        finally by complete stenosis and occlusion of the

                        airways The best known of these agents are nitrogen

                        dioxide [158] sulfur dioxide [159] and ammonia

                        [160] Viral infection also can cause permanent

                        bronchiolar injury particularly adenovirus infection

                        [161] Mycoplasma pneumonia is also cited as a

                        potential cause [162] The course of events is similar

                        to that for the toxic gases Variable degrees of

                        bronchiectasis or bronchioloectasis may occur sec-

                        occlusion Lung biopsy is performed rarely and then

                        usually because the patient is young and unusual

                        airflow obstruction is present Occasionally mixed

                        obstruction and restriction may occur presumably on

                        the basis of diffuse peribronchiolar scarring This

                        airway-associated scarring may produce CT findings

                        of lsquolsquointerstitialrsquorsquo disease The airway lesions are subtle

                        but can be recognized by variable reduction in

                        bronchiolar luminal diameter compared with the

                        adjacent pulmonary artery branch (Normally these

                        should be roughly equal in diameter when viewed

                        as cross-sections) The diagnosis depends on careful

                        clinical correlation and sometimes the addition of a

                        comparison between inspiratory and expiratory

                        patients small rheumatoid nodules can be seen in the

                        walls of airways which results in their partial or total

                        occlusion (Fig 53) From a practical point of view

                        the lesions are focal within the airways often in small

                        bronchi and may not be visualized easily in the

                        biopsy specimen Because of the widespread recog-

                        three had progressive dyspnea

                        occurred in smokers and nonsmokers Miller and

                        Muller [164] identified 19 patients (76) with

                        consisted of linear zones of neuroendocrine cell

                        hyperplasia with focal subepithelial fibrosis The

                        most severely involved bronchioles showed total

                        Unexplained chronic airflow obstruction that

                        occurs in nonsmokers may be a result of selective

                        rheumatoid bronchiolitis The other 5 had airflow

                        obstruction of unknown cause believed to be caused

                        by lsquolsquobronchiolitisrsquorsquo Other studies also identified a

                        cryptogenic form of bronchiolar disease that produces

                        airflow obstruction [166167] When biopsies have

                        been performed constrictive bronchiolitis seems to

                        be the common pathologic manifestation (Fig 55)

                        It is fair to conclude that a rare but fairly distinct

                        clinical syndrome exists that consists of mild airflow

                          alveolar spaces As the process evolves (2ndash4 days after onset) hyaline membranes become thicker and there is greater cellularity

                          in the interstitium as inflammatory cells begin to accrue (B) By the end of the first week (C) alveolar spaces are overwhelmed

                          by reparative changes with myofibroblasts that produce an organizing pneumonia pattern Over the next weeks (D) the

                          myofibroblasts become incorporated into the interstitium as the best outcome with reconstitution of the alveolar architecture

                          are at risk for LIP and occasionally develop lympho-

                          proliferative disorders that involve the pulmonary

                          interstitium ranging from relatively low-grade extra-

                          Certain chronic drug reactions

                          Many drugs are reported to produce lung fibrosis

                          acute and chronic toxicity and has been used widely

                          as an experimental model of pulmonary fibrosis

                          Bleomycin

                          Bleomycin is an antineoplastic agent that becomes

                          concentrated in skin lungs and lymphatic fluid

                          Pulmonary lesions may be dose-related [4041] and

                          prior radiotherapy seems to predispose to toxicity

                          [42] The initial site of injury in experimental models

                          seems to be the venous endothelial cell [43] but type I

                          cell injury allows fibrin and other serum proteins to

                          leak into the alveolus Type II cell hyperplasia occurs

                          as a regenerative phenomenon that results in atypical

                          enlarged forms and intra-alveolar fibroplasia occurs

                          LIP is best thought of as a histopathologic pattern

                          rather than a diagnosis because LIP as proposed

                          initially has morphologic features that are difficult to

                          more common Other features of HIV and AIDS

                          dominated by the presence of material filling the

                          alveolar spaces Depending on the composition of

                          this airspace filling process a narrow differential

                          diagnosis typically emerges The prototype for the

                          airspace filling pattern is organizing pneumonia in

                          which immature fibroblasts (myofibroblasts) form

                          and organizing pneumonia often is a part of this

                          process regardless of the exact mechanism of injury

                          (4 months on average and 3 months in most) and

                          follows a flu-like illness in 40 of cases The average

                          age at presentation is 58 years (range 21ndash80 years)

                          one fourth The erythrocyte sedimentation rate is

                          typically elevated [102] Clubbing is rare Restrictive

                          lung disease is present in approximately half of the

                          patients with COP and the diffusing capacity is

                          reduced in most Airflow obstruction is mild and

                          [103] which may be migratory and similar to those of

                          [103104] The most characteristic HRCT features of

                          consolidation which have a predominantly peribron-

                          The major histopathologic feature of COP is

                          alveolar space organization (so-called lsquolsquoMasson

                          bodiesrsquorsquo) but it also extends to involve alveolar ducts

                          and respiratory bronchioles in which the process has

                          a characteristic polypoid and fibromyxoid appearance

                          (Fig 41) The parenchymal involvement tends to be

                          patchy All of the organization seems to be recent

                          Unfortunately the term BOOP has become one of the

                          most commonly misused descriptions in lung pathol-

                          ogy much to the dismay of clinicians Pathologists

                          use the term to describe nonspecific organization that

                          occurs in alveolar ducts and alveolar spaces of lung

                          biopsies Clinicians hear the term BOOP or BOOP

                          of idiopathic BOOP Because of this misuse there is a

                          growing consensus [101109] regarding use of the

                          term COP to describe the clinicopathologic entity for

                          the following reasons (1) Although COP is primarily

                          different ways that it has become a highly ambiguous

                          term (3) Bronchiolitis generally produces obstruction

                          to airflow and COP is primarily characterized by a

                          restrictive defect

                          The expected prognosis of COP is relatively good

                          In 63 of affected patients the condition resolves

                          mainly as a response to systemic corticosteroids

                          Twelve percent die typically in approximately

                          set or relapses if steroids are tapered too quickly

                          Patients with COP who fare poorly frequently have

                          comorbid disorders such as connective tissue disease

                          or thyroiditis or have been taking nitrofurantoin

                          [110] A recent study showed that the presence of

                          reticular opacities in a patient with COP portended

                          a worse prognosis [111]

                          characterized by a prominent alveolar macrophage

                          reaction such as the malacoplakia-like reaction to

                          Acute eosinophilic pneumonia was discussed

                          earlier with the acute ILDs but the acute and chronic

                          Idiopathic desquamative interstitial pneumonia

                          In 1965 Liebow et al [112] described 18 cases of

                          diffuse lung diseases that differed in many respects

                          from UIP The striking histologic feature was the pre-

                          sence of numerous cells filling the airspaces Liebow

                          et al believed that the cells were chiefly desquamated

                          alveolar epithelial lining cells and coined the term

                          lsquolsquodesquamative interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo It is currently

                          senting different expressions of disease severity [115]

                          RB-ILD is discussed later in this article in the section

                          on smoking-related diffuse lung disease

                          The patients described by Liebow et al [112] were

                          on average slightly younger than patients with UIP

                          and their symptoms were usually milder Clubbing

                          was uncommon but in later series some patients with

                          clubbing were identified [4] Most patients have a

                          subacute lung disease of weeks to months of evo-

                          lution The predominant finding on the radiograph and

                          HRCT in patients with DIP consists of ground-glass

                          opacities particularly at the bases and at the costo-

                          phrenic angles [115] Some patients have mild reticu-

                          lar changes superimposed on ground-glass opacities

                          In lung biopsy the scanning magnification

                          appearance of DIP is striking (Fig 42) The alveolar

                          spaces are filled with lightly pigmented (brown)

                          macrophages and multinucleated cells are commonly

                          relative preservation of lung architecture with only

                          mild thickening of alveolar walls and absence of

                          severe fibrosis or honeycombing [116ndash118] Inter-

                          stitial mononuclear inflammation is seen sometimes

                          with scattered lymphoid follicles The histologic

                          appearance of DIP is not specific It is commonly

                          present in other diffuse and localized lung diseases

                          including UIP asbestosis [119] and other dust-

                          related diseases [120] DIP-like reactions occur after

                          nitrofurantoin therapy [121122] and in alveolar

                          spaces adjacent to the nodules of PLCH (see later

                          section on smoking-related diseases)

                          Cases have been reported in which classic DIP

                          seems clear that DIP represents a nonspecific reaction

                          and more commonly occurs in smokers It is critical

                          to distinguish between DIP and UIP especially

                          because these diseases are regarded as different from

                          one another Research has shown conclusively that

                          the clinical features are different the prognosis is

                          much better in DIP and DIP may respond to

                          corticosteroid administration [124] whereas UIP

                          does not [62]

                          surfactant by alveolar macrophages or a combination

                          The usual presenting symptom is insidious dyspnea

                          sometimes with cough [129] although the clinical

                          under the microscope In some instances nodules

                          may be sufficiently large and diffuse in distribution

                          Sarcoidosis

                          Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease

                          of uncertain origin The disease commonly affects the

                          lungs [134135] The origin pathogenesis and

                          epidemiology of sarcoidosis suggest that it is a

                          disorder of immune regulation [136ndash138] The

                          observation that sarcoid granulomas recur after lung

                          transplantation [139ndash141] seems to underscore fur-

                          abnormality of immunity It also emphasizes the fact

                          that even profound immunosuppression (such as that

                          used in transplantation) may be ineffective in halting

                          disease progression for the subset whose condition

                          persists and progresses to lung fibrosis

                          The histopathologic hallmark of sarcoidosis is the

                          presence of well-formed granulomas without necrosis

                          bundles interlobular septa and pleura (Fig 46) The

                          area between granulomas is frequently sclerotic and

                          adjacent small granulomas tend to coalesce into larger

                          nodules Because of involvement of the broncho-

                          necrosis is not a feature of the disease sometimes

                          [160] Viral infection also can cause permanent

                          [161] Mycoplasma pneumonia is also cited as a

                          potential cause [162] The course of events is similar

                          to that for the toxic gases Variable degrees of

                          bronchiectasis or bronchioloectasis may occur sec-

                          occlusion Lung biopsy is performed rarely and then

                          usually because the patient is young and unusual

                          airflow obstruction is present Occasionally mixed

                          obstruction and restriction may occur presumably on

                          the basis of diffuse peribronchiolar scarring This

                          airway-associated scarring may produce CT findings

                          of lsquolsquointerstitialrsquorsquo disease The airway lesions are subtle

                          but can be recognized by variable reduction in

                          bronchiolar luminal diameter compared with the

                          adjacent pulmonary artery branch (Normally these

                          should be roughly equal in diameter when viewed

                          as cross-sections) The diagnosis depends on careful

                          clinical correlation and sometimes the addition of a

                          comparison between inspiratory and expiratory

                          patients small rheumatoid nodules can be seen in the

                          walls of airways which results in their partial or total

                          occlusion (Fig 53) From a practical point of view

                          the lesions are focal within the airways often in small

                          bronchi and may not be visualized easily in the

                          biopsy specimen Because of the widespread recog-

                          was present in all six patients (Fig 54) Three of the

                          patients also had peripheral carcinoid tumors and

                          three had progressive dyspnea

                          occurred in smokers and nonsmokers Miller and

                          Muller [164] identified 19 patients (76) with

                          Unexplained chronic airflow obstruction that

                          occurs in nonsmokers may be a result of selective

                          Five were found to have RA and presumably

                          rheumatoid bronchiolitis The other 5 had airflow

                          by lsquolsquobronchiolitisrsquorsquo Other studies also identified a

                          cryptogenic form of bronchiolar disease that produces

                          airflow obstruction [166167] When biopsies have

                          been performed constrictive bronchiolitis seems to

                          be the common pathologic manifestation (Fig 55)

                          It is fair to conclude that a rare but fairly distinct

                          clinical syndrome exists that consists of mild airflow

                          obstruction and usually affects middle-aged women

                            what diseases are encompassed by this term In 1969

                            Liebow and Carrington [3] briefly presented a group

                            of patients and used the term LIP to describe their

                            biopsy findings The defining criteria were morphol-

                            and consisted of lymphocytes plasma cells and large

                            mononuclear cells (Fig 38) Several associated

                            clinical conditions have been described including

                            LIP is best thought of as a histopathologic pattern

                            rather than a diagnosis because LIP as proposed

                            initially has morphologic features that are difficult to

                            separate accurately from other lymphoplasmacellular

                            pattern requires clinical and laboratory correlation for

                            interstitial fibrosis can occur Immunophenotyping

                            [92ndash95] These HIV-infected patients have the same

                            nonspecific respiratory symptoms but weight loss is

                            more common Other features of HIV and AIDS

                            14 months and children an average of 32 months

                            [96] The morphology of LIP with or without HIV

                            dominated by the presence of material filling the

                            alveolar spaces Depending on the composition of

                            this airspace filling process a narrow differential

                            diagnosis typically emerges The prototype for the

                            airspace filling pattern is organizing pneumonia in

                            which immature fibroblasts (myofibroblasts) form

                            polypoid growths within the terminal airways and

                            alveoli Organizing pneumonia is a common and

                            nonspecific reaction to lung injury Other material

                            also can occur in the airspaces such as neutrophils in

                            When neutrophils fill the alveolar spaces the

                            disease is usually acute clinically and bacterial

                            pneumonia leads the differential diagnosis (Fig 40)

                            automatic indictment of infection Unfortunately the

                            lung has a limited capacity for repair after any injury

                            and organizing pneumonia often is a part of this

                            process regardless of the exact mechanism of injury

                            The more generic term lsquolsquoairspace organizationrsquorsquo is

                            preferable but longstanding habits are hard to

                            of this disorder recently was changed to COP

                            The evolution of clinical symptoms is subacute

                            (4 months on average and 3 months in most) and

                            follows a flu-like illness in 40 of cases The average

                            age at presentation is 58 years (range 21ndash80 years)

                            and there is no sex predominance Dyspnea and

                            cough are present in half the patients Fever is

                            common and leukocytosis occurs in approximately

                            one fourth The erythrocyte sedimentation rate is

                            lung disease is present in approximately half of the

                            patients with COP and the diffusing capacity is

                            reduced in most Airflow obstruction is mild and

                            typically affects patients who are smokers

                            Chest radiographs show patchy bilateral (some-

                            times unilateral) nonsegmental airspace consolidation

                            [103] which may be migratory and similar to those of

                            eosinophilic pneumonia Reticulation may be seen in

                            10 to 40 of patients but rarely is predominant

                            [103104] The most characteristic HRCT features of

                            COP are patchy unilateral or bilateral areas of

                            consolidation which have a predominantly peribron-

                            30 of cases

                            The major histopathologic feature of COP is

                            alveolar space organization (so-called lsquolsquoMasson

                            bodiesrsquorsquo) but it also extends to involve alveolar ducts

                            and respiratory bronchioles in which the process has

                            a characteristic polypoid and fibromyxoid appearance

                            (Fig 41) The parenchymal involvement tends to be

                            patchy All of the organization seems to be recent

                            Unfortunately the term BOOP has become one of the

                            most commonly misused descriptions in lung pathol-

                            ogy much to the dismay of clinicians Pathologists

                            use the term to describe nonspecific organization that

                            occurs in alveolar ducts and alveolar spaces of lung

                            biopsies Clinicians hear the term BOOP or BOOP

                            pattern and often interpret this as a clinical diagnosis

                            of idiopathic BOOP Because of this misuse there is a

                            growing consensus [101109] regarding use of the

                            term COP to describe the clinicopathologic entity for

                            the following reasons (1) Although COP is primarily

                            mainly as a response to systemic corticosteroids

                            Patients with COP who fare poorly frequently have

                            comorbid disorders such as connective tissue disease

                            [110] A recent study showed that the presence of

                            reticular opacities in a patient with COP portended

                            a worse prognosis [111]

                            defense system These cells are migratory and

                            generally do not accumulate in the lung to a

                            In 1965 Liebow et al [112] described 18 cases of

                            diffuse lung diseases that differed in many respects

                            from UIP The striking histologic feature was the pre-

                            sence of numerous cells filling the airspaces Liebow

                            et al believed that the cells were chiefly desquamated

                            alveolar epithelial lining cells and coined the term

                            lsquolsquodesquamative interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo It is currently

                            on smoking-related diffuse lung disease

                            The patients described by Liebow et al [112] were

                            on average slightly younger than patients with UIP

                            and their symptoms were usually milder Clubbing

                            was uncommon but in later series some patients with

                            clubbing were identified [4] Most patients have a

                            subacute lung disease of weeks to months of evo-

                            HRCT in patients with DIP consists of ground-glass

                            mild thickening of alveolar walls and absence of

                            appearance of DIP is not specific It is commonly

                            present in other diffuse and localized lung diseases

                            and more commonly occurs in smokers It is critical

                            to distinguish between DIP and UIP especially

                            because these diseases are regarded as different from

                            one another Research has shown conclusively that

                            the clinical features are different the prognosis is

                            much better in DIP and DIP may respond to

                            corticosteroid administration [124] whereas UIP

                            Sarcoidosis

                            Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease

                            of uncertain origin The disease commonly affects the

                            lungs [134135] The origin pathogenesis and

                            epidemiology of sarcoidosis suggest that it is a

                            disorder of immune regulation [136ndash138] The

                            observation that sarcoid granulomas recur after lung

                            transplantation [139ndash141] seems to underscore fur-

                            ther the notion that this is an acquired systemic

                            abnormality of immunity It also emphasizes the fact

                            that even profound immunosuppression (such as that

                            used in transplantation) may be ineffective in halting

                            disease progression for the subset whose condition

                            persists and progresses to lung fibrosis

                            Sarcoidosis occurs most frequently in young

                            adults but has been described in all ages There is a

                            decreased incidence of sarcoidosis in cigarette smok-

                            ers Many patients with intrathoracic sarcoidosis are

                            symptom free Systemic manifestations may be

                            identified (in decreasing frequency) in lymph nodes

                            and kidneys Breathlessness is the most common

                            pulmonary symptom

                            The chest radiographic appearance is often char-

                            acteristic with a combination of symmetrical bilateral

                            hilar and paratracheal lymph node enlargement

                            together with a varied pattern of parenchymal

                            involvement including linear nodular and ground-

                            glass opacities [142] In approximately 25 of the

                            patients the radiographic appearance is atypical and

                            in approximately 10 it is normal [143] Staging of

                            the disease is based on pattern of involvement on

                            plain chest radiographs only [135142]

                            The histopathologic hallmark of sarcoidosis is the

                            presence of well-formed granulomas without necrosis

                            (Fig 45) Granulomas are classically distributed

                            along lymphatic channels of the bronchovascular

                            bundles interlobular septa and pleura (Fig 46) The

                            area between granulomas is frequently sclerotic and

                            adjacent small granulomas tend to coalesce into larger

                            nodules Because of involvement of the broncho-

                            vascular bundles and the characteristic histology

                            by transbronchial biopsy (Fig 47) [144] Although

                            necrosis is not a feature of the disease sometimes

                            challenge for pulmonologists and pathologists alike

                            In this section we present a few recognized forms of

                            nonndashtransplant-associated constrictive bronchiolitis

                            Irritants and infections

                            Many irritant gases can produce severe bronchi-

                            olitis This inflammatory injury may be followed by

                            the accumulation of loose granulation tissue and

                            finally by complete stenosis and occlusion of the

                            airways The best known of these agents are nitrogen

                            dioxide [158] sulfur dioxide [159] and ammonia

                            [160] Viral infection also can cause permanent

                            bronchiolar injury particularly adenovirus infection

                            [161] Mycoplasma pneumonia is also cited as a

                            potential cause [162] The course of events is similar

                            to that for the toxic gases Variable degrees of

                            bronchiectasis or bronchioloectasis may occur sec-

                            ondarily up- and downstream from the area of

                            occlusion Lung biopsy is performed rarely and then

                            usually because the patient is young and unusual

                            airflow obstruction is present Occasionally mixed

                            obstruction and restriction may occur presumably on

                            the basis of diffuse peribronchiolar scarring This

                            airway-associated scarring may produce CT findings

                            of lsquolsquointerstitialrsquorsquo disease The airway lesions are subtle

                            but can be recognized by variable reduction in

                            bronchiolar luminal diameter compared with the

                            adjacent pulmonary artery branch (Normally these

                            should be roughly equal in diameter when viewed

                            as cross-sections) The diagnosis depends on careful

                            clinical correlation and sometimes the addition of a

                            comparison between inspiratory and expiratory

                            HRCT scans which typically shows prominent

                            patients small rheumatoid nodules can be seen in the

                            walls of airways which results in their partial or total

                            occlusion (Fig 53) From a practical point of view

                            the lesions are focal within the airways often in small

                            bronchi and may not be visualized easily in the

                            biopsy specimen Because of the widespread recog-

                            nition of rheumatoid bronchiolitis biopsy is rarely

                            with moderate chronic airflow obstruction all of

                            whom never smoked Diffuse neuroendocrine cell

                            was present in all six patients (Fig 54) Three of the

                            patients also had peripheral carcinoid tumors and

                            three had progressive dyspnea

                            In a study of 25 peripheral carcinoid tumors that

                            occurred in smokers and nonsmokers Miller and

                            Muller [164] identified 19 patients (76) with

                            occurs in nonsmokers may be a result of selective

                            be the common pathologic manifestation (Fig 55)

                            It is fair to conclude that a rare but fairly distinct

                            clinical syndrome exists that consists of mild airflow

                              median survival in the range of 3 years Only 5 of 48

                              patients with clinical follow-up died of progressive

                              Lung disease can result from inhalation of various

                              organic antigens In most of these exposures the

                              disease is immunologically mediated presumably

                              through a type III hypersensitivity reaction although

                              the immunologic mechanisms have not been well

                              documented in all conditions [68] The prototypic

                              the disease In the acute stage airspace consolidation

                              is the dominant feature In the subacute stage there is

                              a fine nodular pattern or ground-glass opacification

                              The chronic stage is dominated by fibrosis with

                              [103104] The most characteristic HRCT features of

                              COP are patchy unilateral or bilateral areas of

                              consolidation which have a predominantly peribron-

                              The major histopathologic feature of COP is

                              alveolar space organization (so-called lsquolsquoMasson

                              bodiesrsquorsquo) but it also extends to involve alveolar ducts

                              and respiratory bronchioles in which the process has

                              a characteristic polypoid and fibromyxoid appearance

                              (Fig 41) The parenchymal involvement tends to be

                              patchy All of the organization seems to be recent

                              Unfortunately the term BOOP has become one of the

                              most commonly misused descriptions in lung pathol-

                              ogy much to the dismay of clinicians Pathologists

                              use the term to describe nonspecific organization that

                              occurs in alveolar ducts and alveolar spaces of lung

                              biopsies Clinicians hear the term BOOP or BOOP

                              pattern and often interpret this as a clinical diagnosis

                              of idiopathic BOOP Because of this misuse there is a

                              growing consensus [101109] regarding use of the

                              term COP to describe the clinicopathologic entity for

                              the following reasons (1) Although COP is primarily

                              The expected prognosis of COP is relatively good

                              In 63 of affected patients the condition resolves

                              mainly as a response to systemic corticosteroids

                              Patients with COP who fare poorly frequently have

                              generally do not accumulate in the lung to a

                              In 1965 Liebow et al [112] described 18 cases of

                              diffuse lung diseases that differed in many respects

                              from UIP The striking histologic feature was the pre-

                              sence of numerous cells filling the airspaces Liebow

                              et al believed that the cells were chiefly desquamated

                              alveolar epithelial lining cells and coined the term

                              lsquolsquodesquamative interstitial pneumoniarsquorsquo It is currently

                              known that these cells are predominately macro-

                              RB-ILD is discussed later in this article in the section

                              on smoking-related diffuse lung disease

                              The patients described by Liebow et al [112] were

                              on average slightly younger than patients with UIP

                              and their symptoms were usually milder Clubbing

                              was uncommon but in later series some patients with

                              clubbing were identified [4] Most patients have a

                              HRCT in patients with DIP consists of ground-glass

                              opacities particularly at the bases and at the costo-

                              to distinguish between DIP and UIP especially

                              because these diseases are regarded as different from

                              one another Research has shown conclusively that

                              the clinical features are different the prognosis is

                              much better in DIP and DIP may respond to

                              [125] PAP likely occurs as a result of overproduction

                              Sarcoidosis

                              Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease

                              of uncertain origin The disease commonly affects the

                              lungs [134135] The origin pathogenesis and

                              epidemiology of sarcoidosis suggest that it is a

                              disorder of immune regulation [136ndash138] The

                              observation that sarcoid granulomas recur after lung

                              transplantation [139ndash141] seems to underscore fur-

                              ther the notion that this is an acquired systemic

                              abnormality of immunity It also emphasizes the fact

                              that even profound immunosuppression (such as that

                              used in transplantation) may be ineffective in halting

                              disease progression for the subset whose condition

                              persists and progresses to lung fibrosis

                              Sarcoidosis occurs most frequently in young

                              adults but has been described in all ages There is a

                              identified (in decreasing frequency) in lymph nodes

                              acteristic with a combination of symmetrical bilateral

                              hilar and paratracheal lymph node enlargement

                              together with a varied pattern of parenchymal

                              involvement including linear nodular and ground-

                              glass opacities [142] In approximately 25 of the

                              patients the radiographic appearance is atypical and

                              in approximately 10 it is normal [143] Staging of

                              plain chest radiographs only [135142]

                              The histopathologic hallmark of sarcoidosis is the

                              presence of well-formed granulomas without necrosis

                              (Fig 45) Granulomas are classically distributed

                              bundles interlobular septa and pleura (Fig 46) The

                              area between granulomas is frequently sclerotic and

                              adjacent small granulomas tend to coalesce into larger

                              Diffuse panbronchiolitis can produce a dramatic

                              diffuse nodular pattern in lung biopsies This

                              panbronchiolitis may occur rarely in individuals in

                              the United States [151ndash153] and in patients of non-

                              by involvement of distal membranous bronchioles

                              (Fig 50) The characteristic and nearly diagnostic

                              feature of diffuse panbronchiolitis is the accumulation

                              of many pale vacuolated macrophages in the walls

                              that the condition occurs in the United States and has

                              been underrecognized This view was substantiated

                              lymphatics The disease produces a miliary nodular

                              frequently accompany the disease and likely accounts

                              A limited differential diagnosis is invoked by the

                              Many irritant gases can produce severe bronchi-

                              olitis This inflammatory injury may be followed by

                              the accumulation of loose granulation tissue and

                              finally by complete stenosis and occlusion of the

                              airways The best known of these agents are nitrogen

                              dioxide [158] sulfur dioxide [159] and ammonia

                              [160] Viral infection also can cause permanent

                              bronchiolar injury particularly adenovirus infection

                              [161] Mycoplasma pneumonia is also cited as a

                              potential cause [162] The course of events is similar

                              to that for the toxic gases Variable degrees of

                              bronchiectasis or bronchioloectasis may occur sec-

                              airflow obstruction is present Occasionally mixed

                              obstruction and restriction may occur presumably on

                              the basis of diffuse peribronchiolar scarring This

                              airway-associated scarring may produce CT findings

                              of lsquolsquointerstitialrsquorsquo disease The airway lesions are subtle

                              but can be recognized by variable reduction in

                              bronchiolar luminal diameter compared with the

                              adjacent pulmonary artery branch (Normally these

                              should be roughly equal in diameter when viewed

                              as cross-sections) The diagnosis depends on careful

                              clinical correlation and sometimes the addition of a

                              comparison between inspiratory and expiratory

                              HRCT scans which typically shows prominent

                              chiolitis as a consequence of their disease In some

                              patients small rheumatoid nodules can be seen in the

                              walls of airways which results in their partial or total

                              occlusion (Fig 53) From a practical point of view

                              the lesions are focal within the airways often in small

                              bronchi and may not be visualized easily in the

                              biopsy specimen Because of the widespread recog-

                              nition of rheumatoid bronchiolitis biopsy is rarely

                              observed and is associated with the presence of loose

                              with moderate chronic airflow obstruction all of

                              was present in all six patients (Fig 54) Three of the

                              patients also had peripheral carcinoid tumors and

                                diffuse lung diseases that differed in many respects

                                from UIP The striking histologic feature was the pre-

                                et al believed that the cells were chiefly desquamated

                                clubbing were identified [4] Most patients have a

                                to distinguish between DIP and UIP especially

                                because these diseases are regarded as different from

                                Sarcoidosis

                                Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease

                                of uncertain origin The disease commonly affects the

                                lungs [134135] The origin pathogenesis and

                                epidemiology of sarcoidosis suggest that it is a

                                disorder of immune regulation [136ndash138] The

                                observation that sarcoid granulomas recur after lung

                                transplantation [139ndash141] seems to underscore fur-

                                ther the notion that this is an acquired systemic

                                abnormality of immunity It also emphasizes the fact

                                that even profound immunosuppression (such as that

                                used in transplantation) may be ineffective in halting

                                disease progression for the subset whose condition

                                persists and progresses to lung fibrosis

                                Sarcoidosis occurs most frequently in young

                                adults but has been described in all ages There is a

                                ers Many patients with intrathoracic sarcoidosis are

                                symptom free Systemic manifestations may be

                                identified (in decreasing frequency) in lymph nodes

                                The chest radiographic appearance is often char-

                                acteristic with a combination of symmetrical bilateral

                                hilar and paratracheal lymph node enlargement

                                together with a varied pattern of parenchymal

                                involvement including linear nodular and ground-

                                glass opacities [142] In approximately 25 of the

                                patients the radiographic appearance is atypical and

                                in approximately 10 it is normal [143] Staging of

                                the disease is based on pattern of involvement on

                                plain chest radiographs only [135142]

                                The histopathologic hallmark of sarcoidosis is the

                                presence of well-formed granulomas without necrosis

                                (Fig 45) Granulomas are classically distributed

                                bundles interlobular septa and pleura (Fig 46) The

                                area between granulomas is frequently sclerotic and

                                adjacent small granulomas tend to coalesce into larger

                                and uterine cervix also can give rise to this

                                Many irritant gases can produce severe bronchi-

                                olitis This inflammatory injury may be followed by

                                the accumulation of loose granulation tissue and

                                finally by complete stenosis and occlusion of the

                                airways The best known of these agents are nitrogen

                                dioxide [158] sulfur dioxide [159] and ammonia

                                [160] Viral infection also can cause permanent

                                [161] Mycoplasma pneumonia is also cited as a

                                potential cause [162] The course of events is similar

                                to that for the toxic gases Variable degrees of

                                airflow obstruction is present Occasionally mixed

                                obstruction and restriction may occur presumably on

                                the basis of diffuse peribronchiolar scarring This

                                airway-associated scarring may produce CT findings

                                of lsquolsquointerstitialrsquorsquo disease The airway lesions are subtle

                                but can be recognized by variable reduction in

                                bronchiolar luminal diameter compared with the

                                adjacent pulmonary artery branch (Normally these

                                should be roughly equal in diameter when viewed

                                as cross-sections) The diagnosis depends on careful

                                clinical correlation and sometimes the addition of a

                                comparison between inspiratory and expiratory

                                HRCT scans which typically shows prominent

                                patients small rheumatoid nodules can be seen in the

                                walls of airways which results in their partial or total

                                occlusion (Fig 53) From a practical point of view

                                the lesions are focal within the airways often in small

                                bronchi and may not be visualized easily in the

                                was present in all six patients (Fig 54) Three of the

                                occurs in nonsmokers may be a result of selective

                                  Histopathologically UIP is best envisioned as a

                                  LIP is best thought of as a histopathologic pattern

                                  rather than a diagnosis because LIP as proposed

                                  initially has morphologic features that are difficult to

                                  and organizing pneumonia often is a part of this

                                  of their own cases (112 cases in all) Based on

                                  (4 months on average and 3 months in most) and

                                  follows a flu-like illness in 40 of cases The average

                                  age at presentation is 58 years (range 21ndash80 years)

                                  [103] which may be migratory and similar to those of

                                  eosinophilic pneumonia Reticulation may be seen in

                                  The major histopathologic feature of COP is

                                  alveolar space organization (so-called lsquolsquoMasson

                                  bodiesrsquorsquo) but it also extends to involve alveolar ducts

                                  and respiratory bronchioles in which the process has

                                  a characteristic polypoid and fibromyxoid appearance

                                  (Fig 41) The parenchymal involvement tends to be

                                  patchy All of the organization seems to be recent

                                  Unfortunately the term BOOP has become one of the

                                  most commonly misused descriptions in lung pathol-

                                  ogy much to the dismay of clinicians Pathologists

                                  use the term to describe nonspecific organization that

                                  occurs in alveolar ducts and alveolar spaces of lung

                                  biopsies Clinicians hear the term BOOP or BOOP

                                  pattern and often interpret this as a clinical diagnosis

                                  of idiopathic BOOP Because of this misuse there is a

                                  growing consensus [101109] regarding use of the

                                  term COP to describe the clinicopathologic entity for

                                  The expected prognosis of COP is relatively good

                                  Sarcoidosis

                                  Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease

                                  of uncertain origin The disease commonly affects the

                                  lungs [134135] The origin pathogenesis and

                                  epidemiology of sarcoidosis suggest that it is a

                                  disorder of immune regulation [136ndash138] The

                                  observation that sarcoid granulomas recur after lung

                                  transplantation [139ndash141] seems to underscore fur-

                                  ther the notion that this is an acquired systemic

                                  abnormality of immunity It also emphasizes the fact

                                  that even profound immunosuppression (such as that

                                  used in transplantation) may be ineffective in halting

                                  disease progression for the subset whose condition

                                  persists and progresses to lung fibrosis

                                  Sarcoidosis occurs most frequently in young

                                  adults but has been described in all ages There is a

                                  ers Many patients with intrathoracic sarcoidosis are

                                  symptom free Systemic manifestations may be

                                  identified (in decreasing frequency) in lymph nodes

                                  and kidneys Breathlessness is the most common

                                  The chest radiographic appearance is often char-

                                  acteristic with a combination of symmetrical bilateral

                                  hilar and paratracheal lymph node enlargement

                                  together with a varied pattern of parenchymal

                                  involvement including linear nodular and ground-

                                  glass opacities [142] In approximately 25 of the

                                  patients the radiographic appearance is atypical and

                                  in approximately 10 it is normal [143] Staging of

                                  the disease is based on pattern of involvement on

                                  plain chest radiographs only [135142]

                                  The histopathologic hallmark of sarcoidosis is the

                                  presence of well-formed granulomas without necrosis

                                  (Fig 45) Granulomas are classically distributed

                                  along lymphatic channels of the bronchovascular

                                  bundles interlobular septa and pleura (Fig 46) The

                                  area between granulomas is frequently sclerotic and

                                  adjacent small granulomas tend to coalesce into larger

                                  by transbronchial biopsy (Fig 47) [144] Although

                                  necrosis is not a feature of the disease sometimes

                                  olitis This inflammatory injury may be followed by

                                  the accumulation of loose granulation tissue and

                                  finally by complete stenosis and occlusion of the

                                  airways The best known of these agents are nitrogen

                                  [160] Viral infection also can cause permanent

                                  usually because the patient is young and unusual

                                  airflow obstruction is present Occasionally mixed

                                  obstruction and restriction may occur presumably on

                                  the basis of diffuse peribronchiolar scarring This

                                  airway-associated scarring may produce CT findings

                                  of lsquolsquointerstitialrsquorsquo disease The airway lesions are subtle

                                  but can be recognized by variable reduction in

                                  bronchiolar luminal diameter compared with the

                                  adjacent pulmonary artery branch (Normally these

                                  should be roughly equal in diameter when viewed

                                  as cross-sections) The diagnosis depends on careful

                                  clinical correlation and sometimes the addition of a

                                  comparison between inspiratory and expiratory

                                  the lesions are focal within the airways often in small

                                  bronchi and may not be visualized easily in the

                                    rather than a diagnosis because LIP as proposed

                                    initially has morphologic features that are difficult to

                                    bodiesrsquorsquo) but it also extends to involve alveolar ducts

                                    and respiratory bronchioles in which the process has

                                    a characteristic polypoid and fibromyxoid appearance

                                    (Fig 41) The parenchymal involvement tends to be

                                    patchy All of the organization seems to be recent

                                    Unfortunately the term BOOP has become one of the

                                    most commonly misused descriptions in lung pathol-

                                    ogy much to the dismay of clinicians Pathologists

                                    use the term to describe nonspecific organization that

                                    occurs in alveolar ducts and alveolar spaces of lung

                                    biopsies Clinicians hear the term BOOP or BOOP

                                    pattern and often interpret this as a clinical diagnosis

                                    of idiopathic BOOP Because of this misuse there is a

                                    growing consensus [101109] regarding use of the

                                    term COP to describe the clinicopathologic entity for

                                    the following reasons (1) Although COP is primarily

                                    The expected prognosis of COP is relatively good

                                    In 63 of affected patients the condition resolves

                                    mainly as a response to systemic corticosteroids

                                    diffuse lung diseases that differed in many respects

                                    from UIP The striking histologic feature was the pre-

                                    et al believed that the cells were chiefly desquamated

                                    alveolar epithelial lining cells and coined the term

                                    The patients described by Liebow et al [112] were

                                    Sarcoidosis

                                    Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease

                                    of uncertain origin The disease commonly affects the

                                    lungs [134135] The origin pathogenesis and

                                    epidemiology of sarcoidosis suggest that it is a

                                    disorder of immune regulation [136ndash138] The

                                    observation that sarcoid granulomas recur after lung

                                    transplantation [139ndash141] seems to underscore fur-

                                    ther the notion that this is an acquired systemic

                                    abnormality of immunity It also emphasizes the fact

                                    that even profound immunosuppression (such as that

                                    used in transplantation) may be ineffective in halting

                                    disease progression for the subset whose condition

                                    persists and progresses to lung fibrosis

                                    Sarcoidosis occurs most frequently in young

                                    adults but has been described in all ages There is a

                                    glass opacities [142] In approximately 25 of the

                                    patients the radiographic appearance is atypical and

                                    in approximately 10 it is normal [143] Staging of

                                    The histopathologic hallmark of sarcoidosis is the

                                    presence of well-formed granulomas without necrosis

                                    but can be recognized by variable reduction in

                                    adjacent pulmonary artery branch (Normally these

                                      Currently UIP has been restricted to a subset of the

                                      LIP is best thought of as a histopathologic pattern

                                      and organizing pneumonia often is a part of this

                                      preferable but longstanding habits are hard to

                                      [101] recently compiled the findings from 4 major

                                      of their own cases (112 cases in all) Based on

                                      The evolution of clinical symptoms is subacute

                                      (4 months on average and 3 months in most) and

                                      follows a flu-like illness in 40 of cases The average

                                      age at presentation is 58 years (range 21ndash80 years)

                                      common and leukocytosis occurs in approximately

                                      one fourth The erythrocyte sedimentation rate is

                                      lung disease is present in approximately half of the

                                      reduced in most Airflow obstruction is mild and

                                      typically affects patients who are smokers

                                      Chest radiographs show patchy bilateral (some-

                                      times unilateral) nonsegmental airspace consolidation

                                      [103] which may be migratory and similar to those of

                                      eosinophilic pneumonia Reticulation may be seen in

                                      10 to 40 of patients but rarely is predominant

                                      30 of cases

                                      The major histopathologic feature of COP is

                                      alveolar space organization (so-called lsquolsquoMasson

                                      bodiesrsquorsquo) but it also extends to involve alveolar ducts

                                      and respiratory bronchioles in which the process has

                                      a characteristic polypoid and fibromyxoid appearance

                                      (Fig 41) The parenchymal involvement tends to be

                                      patchy All of the organization seems to be recent

                                      Unfortunately the term BOOP has become one of the

                                      most commonly misused descriptions in lung pathol-

                                      ogy much to the dismay of clinicians Pathologists

                                      use the term to describe nonspecific organization that

                                      occurs in alveolar ducts and alveolar spaces of lung

                                      biopsies Clinicians hear the term BOOP or BOOP

                                      pattern and often interpret this as a clinical diagnosis

                                      of idiopathic BOOP Because of this misuse there is a

                                      growing consensus [101109] regarding use of the

                                      term COP to describe the clinicopathologic entity for

                                      the following reasons (1) Although COP is primarily

                                      The expected prognosis of COP is relatively good

                                      In 63 of affected patients the condition resolves

                                      mainly as a response to systemic corticosteroids

                                      Patients with COP who fare poorly frequently have

                                      In 1965 Liebow et al [112] described 18 cases of

                                      diffuse lung diseases that differed in many respects

                                      from UIP The striking histologic feature was the pre-

                                      et al believed that the cells were chiefly desquamated

                                      alveolar epithelial lining cells and coined the term

                                      RB-ILD is discussed later in this article in the section

                                      The patients described by Liebow et al [112] were

                                      on average slightly younger than patients with UIP

                                      and their symptoms were usually milder Clubbing

                                      was uncommon but in later series some patients with

                                      clubbing were identified [4] Most patients have a

                                      to distinguish between DIP and UIP especially

                                      because these diseases are regarded as different from

                                      much better in DIP and DIP may respond to

                                      Sarcoidosis

                                      Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease

                                      of uncertain origin The disease commonly affects the

                                      lungs [134135] The origin pathogenesis and

                                      epidemiology of sarcoidosis suggest that it is a

                                      disorder of immune regulation [136ndash138] The

                                      observation that sarcoid granulomas recur after lung

                                      transplantation [139ndash141] seems to underscore fur-

                                      ther the notion that this is an acquired systemic

                                      abnormality of immunity It also emphasizes the fact

                                      that even profound immunosuppression (such as that

                                      used in transplantation) may be ineffective in halting

                                      disease progression for the subset whose condition

                                      persists and progresses to lung fibrosis

                                      Sarcoidosis occurs most frequently in young

                                      adults but has been described in all ages There is a

                                      acteristic with a combination of symmetrical bilateral

                                      hilar and paratracheal lymph node enlargement

                                      together with a varied pattern of parenchymal

                                      involvement including linear nodular and ground-

                                      glass opacities [142] In approximately 25 of the

                                      patients the radiographic appearance is atypical and

                                      in approximately 10 it is normal [143] Staging of

                                      the disease is based on pattern of involvement on

                                      plain chest radiographs only [135142]

                                      The histopathologic hallmark of sarcoidosis is the

                                      presence of well-formed granulomas without necrosis

                                      area between granulomas is frequently sclerotic and

                                      adjacent small granulomas tend to coalesce into larger

                                      lymphatics The disease produces a miliary nodular

                                      and uterine cervix also can give rise to this

                                      In this section we present a few recognized forms of

                                      Irritants and infections

                                      Many irritant gases can produce severe bronchi-

                                      olitis This inflammatory injury may be followed by

                                      the accumulation of loose granulation tissue and

                                      finally by complete stenosis and occlusion of the

                                      airways The best known of these agents are nitrogen

                                      dioxide [158] sulfur dioxide [159] and ammonia

                                      [160] Viral infection also can cause permanent

                                      bronchiolar injury particularly adenovirus infection

                                      [161] Mycoplasma pneumonia is also cited as a

                                      potential cause [162] The course of events is similar

                                      to that for the toxic gases Variable degrees of

                                      bronchiectasis or bronchioloectasis may occur sec-

                                      occlusion Lung biopsy is performed rarely and then

                                      usually because the patient is young and unusual

                                      airflow obstruction is present Occasionally mixed

                                      obstruction and restriction may occur presumably on

                                      the basis of diffuse peribronchiolar scarring This

                                      airway-associated scarring may produce CT findings

                                      of lsquolsquointerstitialrsquorsquo disease The airway lesions are subtle

                                      but can be recognized by variable reduction in

                                      bronchiolar luminal diameter compared with the

                                      adjacent pulmonary artery branch (Normally these

                                      should be roughly equal in diameter when viewed

                                      as cross-sections) The diagnosis depends on careful

                                      clinical correlation and sometimes the addition of a

                                      comparison between inspiratory and expiratory

                                      HRCT scans which typically shows prominent

                                      patients small rheumatoid nodules can be seen in the

                                      walls of airways which results in their partial or total

                                      occlusion (Fig 53) From a practical point of view

                                      the lesions are focal within the airways often in small

                                      bronchi and may not be visualized easily in the

                                      biopsy specimen Because of the widespread recog-

                                      observed and is associated with the presence of loose

                                      was present in all six patients (Fig 54) Three of the

                                        Histopathologically UIP is best envisioned as a

                                        smoldering alveolitis of unknown cause accompanied

                                        remodeling with dense fibrosis The disease begins

                                        at the periphery of the pulmonary lobule and has a

                                        consistent tendency to leave lung fibrosis and honey-

                                        progresses from the periphery to the center of the

                                        lobule (Fig 30) This transition from dense fibrosis

                                        with or without honeycombing to near normal lung

                                        (4 months on average and 3 months in most) and

                                        follows a flu-like illness in 40 of cases The average

                                        age at presentation is 58 years (range 21ndash80 years)

                                        typically elevated [102] Clubbing is rare Restrictive

                                        lung disease is present in approximately half of the

                                        patients with COP and the diffusing capacity is

                                        reduced in most Airflow obstruction is mild and

                                        typically affects patients who are smokers

                                        Chest radiographs show patchy bilateral (some-

                                        times unilateral) nonsegmental airspace consolidation

                                        [103] which may be migratory and similar to those of

                                        eosinophilic pneumonia Reticulation may be seen in

                                        10 to 40 of patients but rarely is predominant

                                        [103104] The most characteristic HRCT features of

                                        COP are patchy unilateral or bilateral areas of

                                        consolidation which have a predominantly peribron-

                                        [105ndash108] and a reticular pattern is seen in 10 to

                                        30 of cases

                                        The major histopathologic feature of COP is

                                        alveolar space organization (so-called lsquolsquoMasson

                                        bodiesrsquorsquo) but it also extends to involve alveolar ducts

                                        and respiratory bronchioles in which the process has

                                        a characteristic polypoid and fibromyxoid appearance

                                        (Fig 41) The parenchymal involvement tends to be

                                        patchy All of the organization seems to be recent

                                        Unfortunately the term BOOP has become one of the

                                        most commonly misused descriptions in lung pathol-

                                        ogy much to the dismay of clinicians Pathologists

                                        use the term to describe nonspecific organization that

                                        occurs in alveolar ducts and alveolar spaces of lung

                                        biopsies Clinicians hear the term BOOP or BOOP

                                        pattern and often interpret this as a clinical diagnosis

                                        of idiopathic BOOP Because of this misuse there is a

                                        growing consensus [101109] regarding use of the

                                        term COP to describe the clinicopathologic entity for

                                        term (3) Bronchiolitis generally produces obstruction

                                        to airflow and COP is primarily characterized by a

                                        restrictive defect

                                        The expected prognosis of COP is relatively good

                                        In 63 of affected patients the condition resolves

                                        mainly as a response to systemic corticosteroids

                                        Patients with COP who fare poorly frequently have

                                        [110] A recent study showed that the presence of

                                        reticular opacities in a patient with COP portended

                                        a worse prognosis [111]

                                        diffuse lung diseases that differed in many respects

                                        from UIP The striking histologic feature was the pre-

                                        et al believed that the cells were chiefly desquamated

                                        to distinguish between DIP and UIP especially

                                        because these diseases are regarded as different from

                                        Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease

                                        of uncertain origin The disease commonly affects the

                                        lungs [134135] The origin pathogenesis and

                                        epidemiology of sarcoidosis suggest that it is a

                                        disorder of immune regulation [136ndash138] The

                                        observation that sarcoid granulomas recur after lung

                                        transplantation [139ndash141] seems to underscore fur-

                                        ther the notion that this is an acquired systemic

                                        abnormality of immunity It also emphasizes the fact

                                        that even profound immunosuppression (such as that

                                        used in transplantation) may be ineffective in halting

                                        disease progression for the subset whose condition

                                        persists and progresses to lung fibrosis

                                        Sarcoidosis occurs most frequently in young

                                        adults but has been described in all ages There is a

                                        in approximately 10 it is normal [143] Staging of

                                        the disease is based on pattern of involvement on

                                        olitis This inflammatory injury may be followed by

                                        the accumulation of loose granulation tissue and

                                        finally by complete stenosis and occlusion of the

                                        airways The best known of these agents are nitrogen

                                        dioxide [158] sulfur dioxide [159] and ammonia

                                        [160] Viral infection also can cause permanent

                                        [161] Mycoplasma pneumonia is also cited as a

                                        usually because the patient is young and unusual

                                        airflow obstruction is present Occasionally mixed

                                        obstruction and restriction may occur presumably on

                                        airway-associated scarring may produce CT findings

                                        of lsquolsquointerstitialrsquorsquo disease The airway lesions are subtle

                                        but can be recognized by variable reduction in

                                        bronchiolar luminal diameter compared with the

                                        adjacent pulmonary artery branch (Normally these

                                        should be roughly equal in diameter when viewed

                                        as cross-sections) The diagnosis depends on careful

                                        clinical correlation and sometimes the addition of a

                                        comparison between inspiratory and expiratory

                                          Acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

                                          Episodes of clinical deterioration are expected in

                                          identified The typical history is that of a patient

                                          being followed for IPF who suddenly develops acute

                                          respiratory distress that often is accompanied by

                                          fever elevation of the sedimentation rate marked

                                          increase in dyspnea and new infiltrates that often

                                          many years this manifestation was believed to be

                                          infectious pneumonia (possibly viral) superimposed

                                          on a fibrotic lung with marginal reserve Because

                                          cases are sufficiently common organisms are rarely

                                          identified and a small percentage of patients respond

                                          tigators consider such exacerbation to be a form of

                                          fulminant progression of the disease process itself

                                          Overall acute exacerbation has a poor prognosis and

                                          death within 1 week is not unusual Pathologically

                                          acute lung injury that resembles DAD or organizing

                                          pneumonia is superimposed on a background of

                                          combing This latter finding can be highlighted in

                                          collagen (Fig 32) That acute exacerbation is a real

                                          phenomenon in IPF is underscored by the results of a

                                          recent large randomized trial of human recombinant

                                          walls The pattern is common and has several

                                          Lung disease can result from inhalation of various

                                          organic antigens In most of these exposures the

                                          disease is immunologically mediated presumably

                                          through a type III hypersensitivity reaction although

                                          the immunologic mechanisms have not been well

                                          documented in all conditions [68] The prototypic

                                          example is so-called lsquolsquofarmerrsquos lungrsquorsquo which is

                                          The radiologic appearance depends on the stage of

                                          the disease In the acute stage airspace consolidation

                                          is the dominant feature In the subacute stage there is

                                          a fine nodular pattern or ground-glass opacification

                                          The chronic stage is dominated by fibrosis with

                                          The major histopathologic feature of COP is

                                          alveolar space organization (so-called lsquolsquoMasson

                                          bodiesrsquorsquo) but it also extends to involve alveolar ducts

                                          and respiratory bronchioles in which the process has

                                          a characteristic polypoid and fibromyxoid appearance

                                          (Fig 41) The parenchymal involvement tends to be

                                          patchy All of the organization seems to be recent

                                          Unfortunately the term BOOP has become one of the

                                          most commonly misused descriptions in lung pathol-

                                          ogy much to the dismay of clinicians Pathologists

                                          use the term to describe nonspecific organization that

                                          occurs in alveolar ducts and alveolar spaces of lung

                                          biopsies Clinicians hear the term BOOP or BOOP

                                          of idiopathic BOOP Because of this misuse there is a

                                          growing consensus [101109] regarding use of the

                                          term COP to describe the clinicopathologic entity for

                                          the following reasons (1) Although COP is primarily

                                          The expected prognosis of COP is relatively good

                                          In 63 of affected patients the condition resolves

                                          mainly as a response to systemic corticosteroids

                                          Patients with COP who fare poorly frequently have

                                          [110] A recent study showed that the presence of

                                          reticular opacities in a patient with COP portended

                                          a worse prognosis [111]

                                          diffuse lung diseases that differed in many respects

                                          from UIP The striking histologic feature was the pre-

                                          et al believed that the cells were chiefly desquamated

                                          alveolar epithelial lining cells and coined the term

                                          RB-ILD is discussed later in this article in the section

                                          was uncommon but in later series some patients with

                                          clubbing were identified [4] Most patients have a

                                          mild thickening of alveolar walls and absence of

                                          appearance of DIP is not specific It is commonly

                                          present in other diffuse and localized lung diseases

                                          including UIP asbestosis [119] and other dust-

                                          related diseases [120] DIP-like reactions occur after

                                          seems clear that DIP represents a nonspecific reaction

                                          to distinguish between DIP and UIP especially

                                          because these diseases are regarded as different from

                                          one another Research has shown conclusively that

                                          Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease

                                          of uncertain origin The disease commonly affects the

                                          lungs [134135] The origin pathogenesis and

                                          epidemiology of sarcoidosis suggest that it is a

                                          disorder of immune regulation [136ndash138] The

                                          observation that sarcoid granulomas recur after lung

                                          transplantation [139ndash141] seems to underscore fur-

                                          ther the notion that this is an acquired systemic

                                          abnormality of immunity It also emphasizes the fact

                                          that even profound immunosuppression (such as that

                                          used in transplantation) may be ineffective in halting

                                          disease progression for the subset whose condition

                                          persists and progresses to lung fibrosis

                                          Sarcoidosis occurs most frequently in young

                                          adults but has been described in all ages There is a

                                          The histopathologic hallmark of sarcoidosis is the

                                          adjacent small granulomas tend to coalesce into larger

                                          olitis This inflammatory injury may be followed by

                                          the accumulation of loose granulation tissue and

                                          finally by complete stenosis and occlusion of the

                                          airways The best known of these agents are nitrogen

                                          usually because the patient is young and unusual

                                          airflow obstruction is present Occasionally mixed

                                          obstruction and restriction may occur presumably on

                                          airway-associated scarring may produce CT findings

                                          but can be recognized by variable reduction in

                                          bronchiolar luminal diameter compared with the

                                          adjacent pulmonary artery branch (Normally these

                                          should be roughly equal in diameter when viewed

                                          as cross-sections) The diagnosis depends on careful

                                          clinical correlation and sometimes the addition of a

                                          comparison between inspiratory and expiratory

                                          walls of airways which results in their partial or total

                                          occlusion (Fig 53) From a practical point of view

                                          the lesions are focal within the airways often in small

                                            Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease

                                            of uncertain origin The disease commonly affects the

                                            lungs [134135] The origin pathogenesis and

                                            epidemiology of sarcoidosis suggest that it is a

                                            abnormality of immunity It also emphasizes the fact

                                            used in transplantation) may be ineffective in halting

                                            area between granulomas is frequently sclerotic and

                                            adjacent small granulomas tend to coalesce into larger

                                            the accumulation of loose granulation tissue and

                                            finally by complete stenosis and occlusion of the

                                            adjacent pulmonary artery branch (Normally these

                                            should be roughly equal in diameter when viewed

                                            clinical correlation and sometimes the addition of a

                                              The major histopathologic feature of COP is

                                              bodiesrsquorsquo) but it also extends to involve alveolar ducts

                                              and respiratory bronchioles in which the process has

                                              a characteristic polypoid and fibromyxoid appearance

                                              of idiopathic BOOP Because of this misuse there is a

                                              growing consensus [101109] regarding use of the

                                              Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease

                                              of uncertain origin The disease commonly affects the

                                              lungs [134135] The origin pathogenesis and

                                              used in transplantation) may be ineffective in halting

                                              the accumulation of loose granulation tissue and

                                              finally by complete stenosis and occlusion of the

                                              airways The best known of these agents are nitrogen

                                              but can be recognized by variable reduction in

                                              clinical correlation and sometimes the addition of a

                                                Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease

                                                of uncertain origin The disease commonly affects the

                                                lungs [134135] The origin pathogenesis and

                                                epidemiology of sarcoidosis suggest that it is a

                                                used in transplantation) may be ineffective in halting
