Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema.
Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) is a distinct clinical entity characterized by the simultaneous coexistence of both upper lobe emphysema and lower lobe pulmonary fibrosis. Although it was first described in 1990, it has not received enough recognition. Due to its unique lung function and clinical profile, pulmonologists should be aware of its existence while evaluating patients...
متن کاملCombined Pulmonary Fibrosis and Emphysema (CPFE)
Emphysema is characterized by the permanent abnormal enlargement of airspaces distal to the terminal bronchioles, accompanied by destruction of their walls. The characteristics of emphysema do not, by definition, include thickening of the alveolar septa and fibrosis. However, coincidental idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and emphysema was firstly reported in 1990 by Wiggins et al (Wiggins J,...
متن کاملClinical characteristics in Combined Pulmonary Fibrosis and Emphysema Syndrome vs Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis patients
Abstract: Aim: To identify differences between combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema syndrome (CPFE) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) by a retrospective comparison of clinical data including clinical characteristics and baseline changes in pulmonary function. Methods: We studied demographic, clinical and physiologic features for two groups of patients, (total N=26) those with CPFE (7...
متن کاملIdiopathic pulmonary fibrosis with emphysema: evidence of synergy among emphysema and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in smokers.
BACKGROUND Emphysema and fibrosis, typically the idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) form of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP), can co-exist as combined pulmonary fibrosis emphysema (CPFE). It is unknown whether there is a pathobiologic basis for CPFE beyond the coexistence of fibrosis and emphysema. The aim of this study was to ascertain radiologic differences in severity of fibrosis and emph...
متن کاملMicroscopic polyangiitis preceded by combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema
A 73-year-old male metalworker was admitted to our hospital with a 3-year history of progressive dry cough. Chest high-resolution computed tomography revealed emphysematous changes and reticular lesions, which is referred to as combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE). Surgical lung biopsy specimens revealed unclassified interstitial pneumonia, including a nonspecific interstitial pneum...
