The medical lung diseases are a huge topic. Most pathologists have little to do with 'em. They are the domain of respirology. An introduction to lung pathology is in the lung article, along with a general approach. Interstitial lung disease is dealt with in the diffuse lung diseases article.

Infectious pneumonia

Main article: Pneumonia

Includes:

Asthma

Cytopathology: Asthma in pulmonary cytopathology

General

  • The bread and butter of respirology.
  • May be associated with atopy (allergies), medications (e.g. NSAIDs), occupational exposures.[1]

Pathogenesis

  • T-cell response TH2 dominant.

Sequence:[2]

  • Antigen TH2 lymphocyte -> IgE B-cell -> mast cell IgE Fc -> leukotrienes + other mediators -> bronchospasm, edema, leukocyte recruitment -> airway remodeling.

Gross

  • Lung over-inflation.
  • Mucous plugs.
  • Focal resorption atelectasis,[3] i.e. collapse.

Microscopic

Features:[4]

  • Edema.
  • Mucous (plugs).
  • +/-Smooth muscle hypertrophy.
  • +/-Inflammation - especially with eosinophils.
  • +/-Charcot-Leyden crystals (formed from eosinophil granules -- breakdown product).
    • Sharp edge, diamond shaped, intense pink.

Images:

Notes:

  • Leyden in Charcot-Leyden is also seen written as Leiden.
  • Pulmonary cytopathology:
    • Curschmann's spirals = spiral-shaped mucous plugs.[5]
    • Creola bodies = clusters of (ciliated) bronchial epithelial cells.[6]

Emphysema

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, abbreviated COPD, redirects here.

General

  • Usually due to smoking.
  • Often lumped together with chronic bronchitis and called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).[7]

Causes of emphysema other than smoking:[8]

Pathologic classification

Based on morphology:[9]

  1. Centriacinar (centrilobular) emphysema - associated with heavy smoking.
  2. Panacinar (panlobular) emphysema - associated with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.
  3. Distal (paraseptal) acinar emphysema - associated with spontaneous pneumothorax.
  4. Irregular emphysema - usu. insignificant.
  • Q. Why does smoking lead to centriacinar emphysema?
  • A. The bad stuff from smoking gets enters the acinus at the centre; ergo, this is the location of the most damage.

Gross

  • Holes (blebs, bullae), usually upper lung field predominant.
  • Lungs may overlap the heart.[10]

Notes:

Microscopic

Features:[10]

  • Large alveoli.
  • Thin septa (no interstitial thickening).

Image:

Chronic bronchitis

General

  • Often seen together with emphysema with which it is lumped together with in the term COPD.
  • It's a clinical diagnosis - criteria:[1]
    • Cough with sputum for thee months in at least two consecutive years.
    • No other cause identified.

Clinical:[1]

Microscopic

Features:[1]

  • Mucous gland hypertrophy + mucinous secretions in airway.
  • Goblet cell metaplasia.
  • Bronchiolar inflammation and fibrosis.

Pulmonary edema

General

  • Seen in a number of conditions, e.g. congestive heart failure.

Microscopic

Features:[13]

  • Dilated capillaries.
  • Blood in airspace, focal.
  • Plasma proteins in airspace - light pink acellular junk.
  • +/-Hemosiderin-laden macrophages (known as heart failure cells in this context).

DDx:

Images:

Bronchiectasis

General

Gross

  • Large airways at the periphery of the lung.
  • Central airways larger than the adjacent arteries.
  • Typically focal.

Images:

Radiologic:

  • Central airways larger than the adjacent arteries.
  • Airway wall-thickening.[16]
  • "Tree-in-bud" abnormalities.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Dilated airways.
    • Airways larger than arteries.

Pulmonary hemorrhage

General

  • Many causes.

A few causes:

Pulmonary hemorrhage syndromes:[17]

Radiology

  • Airspace opacity.

Microscopic

Features:

DDx:

  • Decomposition.

Constrictive bronchiolitis

  • AKA bronchiolitis obliterans, AKA obliterative broncholitis,[18] AKA bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS).[19]

General

  • Not the same as (idiopathic) bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) - in short:
    • BOOP: clogs the airway, has Masson bodies, treated with steroids - good prognosis.
    • Constrictive bronchiolitis: fibrosis around airways, crappy prognosis.
  • No good treatment.
  • Progressive.

Etiology/associations:[18]

Microscopic

Features:[18]

  1. Bronchiolitis - mononuclear and neutrophilic.
    • May be minimal late in the disease.
  2. Fibrosis - submucosal and peribronchiolar.
    • Can be patchy.

Notes:

  • Bronchioles = noncartilagenous airways usu. < 2 mm in diameter.[18]

Images:

Stains

  • Elastic trichrome - useful for delineation of obliterated bronchioles.

Diffuse lung diseases

Main article: Diffuse lung diseases

These are also known as idiopathic interstitial pneumonias.

Fibrosis

Histomorphological classification

  1. Hyaline membranes - glassy pink material lining airways & alveoli.
  2. Microscopic honeycombing - "holes" in the lung.
  3. Bronchiolization - ciliated (respiratory) epithelium in distal airway.
  4. Uniform alveolar septal thickening - septae look similar at low power.
  5. Peripheral lobular fibrosis - septae thickening peripheral, HRCT shows: irregular peripheral reticular opacities.[21]
    • Reticular = net-like.[22]
  6. Siderophages in alveoli - macrophages with hemosiderin the alveoli.
  7. Fibrinous pleuritis - peripheral only (based on imaging).
  8. Granulomata, non-necrotizing.
  9. Abundance of vacuolated cells.
  10. Chronic inflammation.
  11. Bronchiolocentric scarring - fibrosis concentrated around airway/assoc. with airway.

Radiologic/gross pathologic DDx by location

Causes of lower lung fibrosis BAD RASH:[23]

Note:

Causes of upper lung fibrosis FASSTEN:[23]

Prognosis

  • The pattern and severity of fibrosis seems to be the most important factors prognostically - more important than the underlying cause (ILD, CVD, drug reaction etc.).[25][26]

Patterns of fibrosis:

  • "Linear" - follows alveolar walls, no architectural distortion.
  • UIP-like (honeycombing).
