1 HRCT of Common Lung Diseases W. Richard Webb MD

2 Common Lung Diseases: HRCT Infections (pneumonia, airways disease) Sarcoidosis Hypersensitivity pneumonitis UIP and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) Nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) Organizing pneumonia (OP or BOOP)

3 Sarcoidosis microscopic noncaseating granulomas in clusters 60-70% have characteristic plain film findings 10% have normal chest radiographs HRCT abnormal in most with normal radiographs

4 Sarcoidosis: HRCT findings small nodules, usually well-defined are typical patchy distribution upper lobe predominance in most the nodules show a perilymphatic distribution typical lymph node enlargement or calcification in some patients is suggestive, but is not necessary for diagnosis

5 Sarcoidosis: Nodules perilymphatic nodules predominate in relation to the peripheral pleural surfaces and fissures, and the peribronchovascular interstitium interlobular septal nodules are less frequent and less numerous centrilobular nodules can be seen involving the centrilobular peribronchovascular interstitium in rare patients, the nodules appear random in distribution

6 Sarcoidosis Subpleural and peribronchovascular nodules

18 Sarcoidosis: additional findings large nodules or masses %» often upper lobe, parahilar (peribronchovascular)» air bronchograms (i.e. consolidation)» confluence of granulomas» satellite nodules ( galaxy sign )» alveolar sarcoid ground-glass opacity» confluence of small granulomas

36 Sarcoidosis: late or fibrotic nodules decrease (but often remain visible) distortion of fissures, reticulation interlobular septal thickening peribronchovascular fibrosis, usually upper lobe conglomerate masses of fibrous tissue traction bronchiectasis subpleural honeycombing in a few percent emphysema and cysts

37 . Sarcoidosis: early fibrosis with reticulation and distortion of fissures

47 Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis

48 Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis (HP) common caused by inhalation of organic antigens responsible antigen identified in only 50% acute, subacute, and chronic stages repeated exposures produce fever, chills, dry cough, dyspnea progressive symptoms over months or years

49 Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis: subacute stage ongoing exposure progressive symptoms over weeks to months ill-defined peribronchiolar granulomas alveolitis and interstitial infiltration cellular bronchiolitis

50 Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis: subacute stage ill-defined centrilobular nodules (50-60%), usually of ground-glass opacity (granulomas) patchy ground-glass opacity (75-90%) (alveolitis) patchy mosaic perfusion; air trapping on expiratory scans (bronchiolitis) diffuse or predominant in mid lung zones; entire cross section of lung involved; no subpleural predominance a few lung cysts in a few patients

78 Hot tub lung Immunocompetent subjects symptoms within hours of hot tub use dyspnea, cough, hypoxemia, fever nonnecrotizing granulomas, often bronchiolocentric MAC (mycobactium avium) found on culture, less often on biopsy, and in the hot tube likely a hypersensitivity reaction resolution without antibiotic treatment

79 Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis: chronic stage long term or repeated exposure irregular fibrosis: coarse scars, septal thickening, traction bronchiectasis, honeycombing in some patchy, lacks a subpleural distribution in most diffuse or predominantly involving mid lung zones upper lobe involvement (atypical for IPF) superimposed findings of subacute disease in some: ground-glass opacity or nodules headcheese sign with findings of fibrosis
