Crazy paving sign

Crazy paving sign

Refers to the combination of ground glass attenuation superimposed on a network of interlobular septal thickening giving it an appearance of a surface paved with slabs of differing shapes

34

Case 01 /Crazy Paving sign

Thin-section CT scan of right upper lobe

35

Case 01 / Crazy Paving sign

• A fine reticular pattern superimposed on a background of ground-glass opacity—that is, the crazy-paving pattern.

36

Case 01 / Crazy Paving signFluid within the major fissure (arrowheads)

37


A 32-year-old man with ARDS

38

Case 02 / Thin-section CT scan of right lower lobe

• The crazy-paving pattern is present in the right lower lobe, particularly in the region circumscribed by the arrowheads

39


• The minimum and maximum sizes of each frame of the network are 2 and 6 mm, respectively.

40


• A 65-year-old woman with chronic eosinophilic pneumonia

41

Case 03 / Thin-section CT scan of the left lower lobe

• Crazy-paving appearance, which is best seen in the region circumscribed by the arrows.

42

Case 03 / Postmortem findings in a 41-year-old woman

Alveolar Hemorrhage

Case 04 / High-resolution CT scan Areas of ground-glass attenuation with intralobular lines

P carinii pneumonia in a 32-year-old man with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.


Case 04 / Photomicrograph (original magnification, ×400; Grocott stain) of a specimen obtained with bronchoalveolar lavage

• shows alveolar exudates that contain cystic forms of P carinii (arrows)


Case 05 / Diffuse mucinous bronchioloalveolar carcinoma in a 78-year-old man / High-resolution CT scan

• shows a bilateral crazy-paving pattern and centrilobular nodules.


Case 06 / Sarcoidosis in a 25-year-old asymptomatic man

• High-resolution CT scan• Shows scattered

bilateral areas of ground-glass attenuation associated with inter- and intralobular lines.


Case 07

• Methotrexate-induced NSIP in a 41-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis who presented with dyspnea and decreased diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO).


Case 07 / Photomicrograph (original magnification, ×400; hematoxylin-eosin stain) of a specimen from lung biopsy

• Shows patchy interstitial fibrosis

• Expansion of the interstitium by: Chronic inflammatory

infiltrates Reactive hyperplastic

type II pneumonocytes (arrow)


Case 07 / Photomicrograph (original magnification, ×400; hematoxylin-eosin stain) of a specimen from lung biopsy

• Findings consistent with NSIP induced by the pulmonary toxic effects of Methotrexate.


Case 08 / Amiodarone-induced NSIP in an 88-year-old man with severe dyspnea

• High-resolution CT scan shows bilateral diffuse ground-glass attenuation and inter- and intralobular lines.

• Note the traction bronchiectasis.


Case 09

• Bleomycin induced organizing pneumonia in a 44-year-old woman with Hodgkin lymphoma who presented with:A nonproductive coughDyspneaDecreased DLCO

52

Case 09 / High-resolution CT/ Bleomycin induced BOOP

Crazy-paving sign



• The diagnosis of was confirmed with transthoracic biopsy



• There was improvement in the symptoms and radiologic findings after:o Discontinuation of the

Bleomycin therapyo Initiation of

corticosteroid therapy


Case 10

• Lipoid pneumonia in a 64-year-old woman with a 20-year history of scleroderma who presented:Progressive dyspneaDry cough

56

Case 10 /High-resolution CT scan/ Lipoid pneumonia

• Shows Crazy-paving sign (arrow)


Case 10 /High-resolution CT scan/ Lipoid pneumonia

• The results of bronchoalveolar lavage and transbronchial biopsy were nondiagnostic


Case 10 / Photomicrograph (original magnification, ×250; hematoxylin-

eosin stain) of a specimen from open lung biopsy

• shows numerous lipid-laden macrophages that fill and distend the alveoli (arrow) and interstitium.


Case 11 / Posteroanterior chest radiograph

• Shows a centrally located mass adjacent to an area of diffuse ground-glass opacity in the right upper lobe.

• Note the air trapping in the lung base.


Case 11 / Posteroanterior chest radiograph

• CT scan shows typical crazy-paving surrounding the mass, which is perihilar.


Case 11 / What diagnosis that do you expect?

A. AdenocarcinomaB. BOOP.C. Lipoid pneumoniaD. Diffuse pulmonary

hemorrhageE. P carinii pneumonia


Case 11 / What diagnosis that do you expect?
