NSIP, UIP, and the ABCs of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias.
Diffuse interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a general term encompassing a broad range of largely unrelated conditions which share the propensity to cause breathlessness and/or cough, while resulting in bilateral abnormal opacities of various types on conventional chest radiographs or computed tomography (CT) scans. The idiopathic interstitial pneumonias are a subset of diffuse ILDs characterized...
متن کاملTexture analysis using proton density and T2 relaxation in patients with histological usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) or nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP)
OBJECTIVES The purpose of our study was to assess proton density (PD) and T2 relaxation time of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) and nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) and to evaluate their utility in differentiating the two patterns. Furthermore, we aim to investigate whether these two parameters could help differentiate active-inflammatory and stable-fibrotic lesions in NSIP. METHO...
متن کاملLECTIN HISTOCHEMISTRY OF CHOLESTEROL CLEFT GRANULOMAS IN NON-SPECIFIC INTERSTITIAL PNEUMONIA (NSIP)
ABSTRACT Background: Cholesterol cleft granulomas with clusters of giant cells were noted to be a common feature of non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP). Objective: This study aimed to define the cell populations involved in the granulomas. Methods: The granulomas of 16 patients with cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis (five cases with the histological features ofNSIP, five with those ofUIP...
متن کاملNonspecific Interstitial pneumonia (NSIP)/ Overlap or Distinct Entity: A case report from the National Research Institute of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (NRITLD)
Background: In many cases of ILD (interstitial lung disease), overlap diagnosis is considered. Here, a few cases with diagnosis of a variety of ILDs, where eventual open lung biopsy has been performed are selected. Reference will be made to reliable sources to show that NSIP can still be a variant of UIP (Usual interstitial pneumonia) with better treatment response and prognosis. Case Presenta...
متن کاملMyofibroblasts proliferation of idiopathic and collagen vascular disorders associated nonspecific interstitial pneumonia.
Nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) has been recognized as a separate histological classification of interstitial lung disease. Similar features are found not only in idiopathic NSIP, but also in NSIP associated with collagen vascular disorder (CVD-NSIP). We examined the clinical symptoms, laboratory findings, and prognosis of 13 cases of idiopathic NSIP and 11 cases of CVD-NSIP. Immunohi...
