What are two types of lung opacification on HRCT?

consolidation or GGO
What is the defition of consolidation
increased lung opacity with obscuraton of underlying vessels
What is the definition of GGO
increased lung opacity without obscuraton of underlying vessels
What are the acute causes of lung consolidation?
4

pneumonia
edeam
hemorrhage
diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) which is most commonly ARDS.

What are the chronic causes of lung consolidation?
3

organizing pneumonia
chronic eosinophilic pneumonia
bronchioloalveolar carcinoma

(lymphoma, alveolar sarcoid, alveolar proteinosis)

Can edema cause a consolidation
yes
What is the most likely cause of acute consolidation in a pt with SLE?
hemorrhage
What is the typical history for a patient with organizing pneumonia
chronic consolidation in pt who is febrile for 6 wks
What does organizing pneumonia look like on HRCT
patchy areas of consolidation involving peripheral and peribronchial lung
What is the difference between OP and bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pna (BOOP)
same thing, but now we just say organizing pna
Is organizing pna (OP or BOOP) common

What is the treatment for OP?
yes

corticosteriods (DIP also)
What are the common causes of organizing pna (OP or BOOP)

organizing pna occurs in pt with overlying health problems like RA the causes include;
idiopathic
Bacterial infection
drugs (amiodarone)
CVD (RA, SLE, scleraderma, dermatomyocitis)
fumes

What is the clinical picture of organizing pna (OP or BOOP)
several months of cough, dyspnea, low grade fever?
What is seen histologically with organizing pna (OP or BOOP)
granulation tissue polyps in bronchioles and patchy organizing pna
What is seen in 90% of cases of organizing pna (OP or BOOP)
patchy air space consolidation or GGO
What is seen in 15% of cases of organizing pna (OP or BOOP)
large nodules or masses
What is the typical distribution of organizing pna (OP or BOOP)

peripheral and peribronchiole

What is the typical shape of organizing pna (OP or BOOP)
irregular in shape
What is the atoll sign
this is when there is a ggo in the middle of a consolidation
What drug has been associated with organizing pna (OP or BOOP)
amiodarone
What is the halo sign?
this is a dense central nodulare area surrounded by a ggo
What percent of pt with cryptogenic organizing pna have a atoll sign?

Does OP consolidations typically have air bronchograms?
20%

yes
What are the 2 causes of chronic eosinophilic pna
idiopathic
antigen
Is there eosinophilia associated with chronic eosinophilic pna
yes
What is BOOP often confused with>
chronic eosinophilic pna
What are the SS of chronic eosinophilic pna
months of fever, cough, weighloss
What is eosinophilic pna associated with

asthma history

What is seen in chronic eosinophilic pna
peribronchial and peripheral GGO and consolidation
What part of the lung does chronic eosinophilic pna predominate
the upper lobes
can you see the atoll sign and reverse halo sign with chronic eosinophilic pna
yes
What is characterics appearance of appearance of chronic eosinophilic pna on CXR
patchy consolidations in the upper lobes
Does Bronchoalveolar carcinoma cause chronic lung consolidation
yes
What would be a typical appearance of Goodpastures syndrome
GGO or consolidaton bc of pulmonary hemorrhage
What causes ground glass opacification?
3
alveolar wall thickening
partial alveolar filling
atelectasis
What are some causes of acute GGO?
4
pulmonary edema
hemorrhage
atypical pna (pcp or viral)
DAD (ARDS, cocaine)
Can cocaine cause diffuse alveolar damage?
yes
What is the ddx of GGO that is chronic

Interstial PNA (NSIP, LIP or DIP)
hypersensitivity pneumonititis
alveolar proteinosis

Things that cause a chronic consolidation:
Organizing pna
chronic eosinophilic pna
BAC

What is the causes of hypersensitivity pneumonititis?

inhalation or organic antigens

Are hypersensitivity pneumonitis common?
yes
What percent of pt with hp have patchy GGO?
75-90%
What percent of pt with hp have ill defined centrilobular nodules
50-60%
What are the typical findings in alveolar proteinosison HRCT
crazy paving
What are 3 characteristics of chronic HP

What histologic patterns of interstitial pna are caused by HP
2
upper lobe predominance
reticulations
bronchiectasis

if HP is end stage it causes UIP, it may also cause OP
What is the mosaic pattern?
patchy lucenies seen on HRCT bc of air trapping
When does the mosaic pattern seen best
expiratory phase
Is the mosaic pattern present in HP
yes
Does HP have a subpleural predominance
no
What is crazy paving
interlobular septal thickenig and GGO
