Many Faces of Bronchiolitis and Organizing Pneumonia

Abstract: As the bronchioles have a strategic position between the airways and the alveolar structures, they are at a site where disorders of many origins may develop, including infections, inflammatory and/or fibrosing processes of immune, occupational, environmental, tumoral, and iatrogenic origin, which may result in predominant bronchiolitis and/or organizing pneumonia. This etiologic variety results in many distinct entities and syndromes, common or rare, with new or renewed faces such as bronchiolocentric intersti… Show more

“…Local factors such as history of pneumonia or tuberculosis may be associated with lung fibrosis. Nonresolving pneumonia may result in organizing pneumonia commonly in bacterial infections [ 24 ]. Pneumonia due to mycoplasma and Legionnaires’ disease has been mostly implicated with development of pulmonary fibrosis [ 25 , 26 ].…”

“…Other features are the reversed halo opacity and bronchial wall thickening [177,178]. Histopathology will reveal plugs of granulation tissue within small airways (Masson bodies) and chronic inflammatory cell infiltration in alveolar walls [179,180]. Case reports document the favorable response to glucocorticoids [180,181], but others may be fatal [182].…”

“…15 ) [ 147 ]. Calcification within areas of consolidation, although rare, has also been described [ 148 ]. Moreover, GPA associated with abnormal pulmonary perfusion at the subsegmental level results in ischemia or frank infarctions leading to ground-glass opacities representing necrotic cellular infiltrates in the alveoli or mosaic perfusion [ 140 ].…”
