Diagnosis With Brief Discussion

Diagnosis
Desquamative interstitial pneumonia
Radiologic Findings
Fig 1. Chest PA shows diffuse reticular opacities and ground-glass opacity in both lungs.
Fig 2,3. CT scans show bilateral ground-glass opacity, multiple cysts, and emphysema within the subpleural areas of ground-glass opacity in both lungs.
VATS biopsy specimen of the patient shows loose fibrosis and foamy macrophage accumulation in air space.
Fig 4,5. [after 3 months] In 3 months follow-up CT scan, ground-glass opacity has partially resolved after steroid therapy.

Brief Review
Desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP) is a rare form of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP). It is associated with heavy smoking. A diagnosis of DIP cannot be reliably established based on clinical and radiological features alone and ideally requires a lung biopsy. The histomorphology is characterized by the diffuse accumulation of numerous pigmented macrophages within most of the distal airspace of the lung and, sometimes, an admixture of eosinophils and/or giant cells.
The radiologic patterns are nonspecific and include patchy ground-glass opacities with a lower lung and peripheral predominance. The predominant abnormality at high-resolution CT in patients with DIP is ground-glass opacity, which may be peripheral, patchy, or diffuse in distribution. A peripheral subpleural and basal predominance of ground-glass opacity is most commonly seen. Honeycombing is uncommon. Coexistent emphysema may be present. At follow-up high-resolution CT of patients receiving treatment, the ground-glass opacity may show partial or complete resolution. Small cystic spaces may develop within the areas of ground-glass opacity, although progression to reticular abnormality and honeycombing is unusual. The differential diagnosis includes RB-ILD, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, NSIP, and atypical infections such as Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia.
