1 A Pattern-Based Approach to Interstitial Lung Disease Part 2: Case Studies Kevin O. Leslie, M.D. Consultant and Professor Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Mayo Clinic Arizona

2 The 6 Patterns of Interstitial Lung Disease 1. Acute Injury Prototype: DAD 2. Fibrosis Prototype: UIP 3. Cellular Interstitial Prototype: HSP 4. Alveolar Filling Prototype: OP 5. Nodules Prototype: Sarcoidosis 6. Minimal Changes Prototype: SAD

3 Differential diagnosis

4 remember the mixed patterns! Not infrequently, combinations of patterns may occur. For example, Acute Lung Injury (Pattern 1) -with hyaline membranes, may coincide with Airspace Filling (Pattern 4) -with organizing pneumonia. In some instances, this is an expected part of a disease natural history, while in others, combined features may actually represent two unrelated, or marginally related, diseases intersecting or colliding.

20 A Pattern-Based Approach to Lung Disease CT Chest Chest imaging shows bilateral ground-glass opacities accompanied by mild reticulation. The lower lung zones are primarily involved and most consistently with a peripheral distribution. Very slight subpleural sparing is noted.

75 Take home lessons Surgical Pathology has evolved to medical pathology in many specialty areas. This requires the addition of clinical and imaging skills. Using a pattern-based approach with clinical, radiologic, and histopathologic patterns enhances dramatically the relevant interpretation of lung biopsies.
