Approach To
Interstitial Lung Diseases
or
Diffuse Parenchymal Lung
Diseases
Gamal Rabie Agmy, MD, FCCP
Professor of Chest Diseases, Assiut university
ERS National Delegate of Egypt
Objectives
• Review the spectrum of ILD or DPLD
• Identify clues on presentation to make
the diagnosis
• Review common radiographic findings
in ILD
• Come up with an algorithm to make
the diagnosis
• Interstitial compartment is
the portion of the lung
sandwiched between the
epithelial and endothelial
basement membrane
• Expansion of the interstitial
compartment by
inflammation with or without
fibrosis
– Necrosis
– Hyperplasia
– Collapse of basement
membrane
– Inflammatory cells
What is the Pulmonary
Interstitium?
The interstitium of the lung is not normally visible radiographic-
ally; it becomes visible only when disease (e.g., edema,
fibrosis, tumor) increases its volume and attenuation.
The interstitial space is defined as continuum of loose
connective tissue throughout the lung composed of three
subdivisions:
(i) the bronchovascular (axial), surrounding the bronchi,
arteries, and veins from the lung root to the level of the
respiratory bronchiole
(ii) the parenchymal (acinar), situated between the alveolar
and capillary basement membranes
(iii) the subpleural, situated beneath the pleura, as well as in
the interlobular septae.
The Lung Interstitium
Secondary pulmonary lobular
anatomy
The terminal bronchiole in the center
divides into respiratory bronchioles with
acini that contain alveoli.
Lymphatics and veins run within the
interlobular septa

Pracical Aproach to
Interstitial Lung Diseases
Patterns of Interstitial
Lung Disease
Linear Pattern
A linear pattern is seen when there is
thickening of the interlobular septa,
producing Kerley lines.
Kerley B lines
KerleyA lines
The interlobular septa contain
pulmonary veins and lymphatics.
The most common cause of interlobular
septal thickening, producing Kerley A
and B lines, is pulmonary edema, as a
result of pulmonary venous
hypertension and distension of the
lymphatics.
Kerley B lines
Kerley A lines
DD of Kerly Lines:
Pulmonary edema is the most common cause
Mitral stenosis
Lymphangitic carcinomatosis
Malignant lymphoma
Congenital lymphangiectasia
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Pneumoconiosis
Sarcoidosis
b. Reticular Pattern
A reticular pattern results from the summation
or superimposition of irregular linear
opacities.
The term reticular is defined as meshed, or in
the form of a network. Reticular opacities can be
described as fine, medium, or coarse, as the
width of the opacities increases.
A classic reticular pattern is seen with pulmonary fibrosis,
in which multiple curvilinear opacities form small
cystic spaces along the pleural margins and lung
bases (honeycomb lung)
This 50-year-old man presented with end-stage lung fibrosis
PA chest radiograph shows medium to coarse reticular
B: CT scan shows multiple small cysts (honeycombing) involving
predominantly the subpleural peripheral regions of lung. Traction
bronchiectasis, another sign of end-stage lung fibrosis.
c. Nodular pattern
 A nodular pattern consists of multiple round opacities,
generally ranging in diameter from 1 mm to 1 cm
 Nodular opacities may be described as miliary (1 to 2 mm,
the size of millet seeds), small, medium, or large, as the
diameter of the opacities increases
 A nodular pattern, especially with predominant
distribution, suggests a specific differential diagnosis
Disseminated histoplasmosis and nodular ILD.
CT scan shows multiple bilateral round circumscribed
pulmonary nodules.
Hematogenous metastases and nodular ILD. This 45-year-
old woman presented with metastatic gastric carcinoma.
The PA chest radiograph shows a diffuse pattern of
nodules, 6 to 10 mm in diameter.
Differential diagnosis of a
nodular pattern of interstitial
lung disease
SHRIMP
Sarcoidosis
Histiocytosis (Langerhan cell
histiocytosis)
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis
Rheumatoid nodules
Infection (mycobacterial, fungal, viral)
Metastases
Microlithiasis, alveolar
Pneumoconioses (silicosis, coal
worker's, berylliosis)
d. Reticulonodular pattern results
A reticulonodular pattern results from a
combination of reticular and nodular opacities.
This pattern is often difficult to distinguish from
a purely reticular or nodular pattern, and in
such a case a differential diagnosis should be
developed based on the predominant pattern.
If there is no predominant pattern, causes of
both nodular and reticular patterns should be
considered.
How To Approach
a Practical
Diagnosis?
An acute appearance suggests pulmonary
edema ,miliary TB,DAD or pneumonia
Rule no. 1
Disseminated histoplasmosis and reticulonodular ILD.
A: PA chest radiograph, close-up of right upper lung, shows reticulonodular
ILD.
B: CT scan shows multiple circumscribed round pulmonary nodules, 2 to 3
mm in diameter.
Reticulonodular lower lung predominant
distribution with decreased lung volumes
suggests: (APC)
1. Asbestosis
2. Aspiration (chronic)
3. Pulmonary fibrosis (idiopathic)
4.Collagen vascular disease
Rule no. 2
Asbestos-related
pleural disease and
asbestosis
Pulmonary fibrosis and rheumatoid arthritis.

A: PA chest radiograph shows a bibasilar and subpleural distribution of fine
reticular ILD. The presence of a dilated esophagus (arrows) provides a clue
to the correct diagnosis.
B: CT scan shows peripheral ILD and a dilated esophagus (arrow).
A middle or upper lung predominant distribution
suggests: (Mycobacterium Settle Superiorly in
Lung)
1. Mycobacterial or fungal disease
2. Silicosis
3. Sarcoidosis
4. Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis
Rule no. 3
Complicated silicosis. PA chest radiograph shows multiple
nodules involving the upper and middle lungs, with coalescence
of nodules in the left upper lobe resulting in early progressive
massive fibrosis
Sarcoidosis. CT scan shows nodular thickening of the bronchovascular
bundles (solid arrow) and subpleural nodules (dashed arrow), illustrating the
typical perilymphatic distribution of sarcoidosis.
Langerhan cell histiocytosis.
This 50-year-old man had a
30 pack-year history of
cigarette smoking.
A: PA chest radiograph
shows hyperinflation of the
lungs and fine bilateral
reticular ILD.
B: CT scan shows multiple
cysts (solid arrow) and
nodules (dashed arrow).
Associated lymphadenopathy suggests :
1.Sarcoidosis
2.neoplasm (lymphangitic carcinomatosis,
lymphoma, metastases)
3. infection (viral, mycobacterial, or fungal)
4. Silicosis
5.Congestive heart failure with congestive
lymphadenopathy.
Rule no. 4
Simple silicosis.
A: CT scan with lung windowing shows numerous
circumscribed pulmonary nodules, 2 to 3 mm in diameter
(arrows).
B: CT scan with mediastinal windowing shows densely
calcified hilar (solid arrows) and subcarinal (dashed arrow)
nodes.
Associated pleural thickening and/or
calcification suggest asbestosis.
Rule no. 5
Associated pleural effusion suggests :
1.pulmonary edema
2.lymphangitic carcinomatosis
3.lymphoma
4.collagen vascular disease
5.LAM
Rule no. 6
Cardiogenic pulmonary edema.
PA chest radiograph shows enlargement of the cardiac
silhouette, bilateral ILD, enlargement of the azygos vein
(solid arrow), and peribronchial cuffing (dashed arrow).
Lymphangitic carcinomatosis. This 53-year-old man
presented with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and
large-cell bronchogenic carcinoma of the right lung.
CT scan shows unilateral nodular thickening (arrows) and a
malignant right pleural effusion.
Associated pneumothorax suggests
lymphangioleiomyomatosis or LCH.
Rule no. 7
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis
(LAM).
A: PA chest radiograph shows a
right basilar pneumothorax and
two right pleural drainage
catheters. The lung volumes are
increased, which is
characteristic of LAM, and there
is diffuse reticular ILD.
B: CT scan shows bilateral thin-
walled cysts and a loculated
right pneumothorax (P).

Approach To Diffuse Parenchymal Lung Diseases

  • 1.
  • 2. Approach To Interstitial Lung Diseases or Diffuse Parenchymal Lung Diseases Gamal Rabie Agmy, MD, FCCP Professor of Chest Diseases, Assiut university ERS National Delegate of Egypt
  • 3. Objectives • Review the spectrum of ILD or DPLD • Identify clues on presentation to make the diagnosis • Review common radiographic findings in ILD • Come up with an algorithm to make the diagnosis
  • 4.
  • 5. • Interstitial compartment is the portion of the lung sandwiched between the epithelial and endothelial basement membrane • Expansion of the interstitial compartment by inflammation with or without fibrosis – Necrosis – Hyperplasia – Collapse of basement membrane – Inflammatory cells What is the Pulmonary Interstitium?
  • 6.
  • 7. The interstitium of the lung is not normally visible radiographic- ally; it becomes visible only when disease (e.g., edema, fibrosis, tumor) increases its volume and attenuation. The interstitial space is defined as continuum of loose connective tissue throughout the lung composed of three subdivisions: (i) the bronchovascular (axial), surrounding the bronchi, arteries, and veins from the lung root to the level of the respiratory bronchiole (ii) the parenchymal (acinar), situated between the alveolar and capillary basement membranes (iii) the subpleural, situated beneath the pleura, as well as in the interlobular septae. The Lung Interstitium
  • 9. The terminal bronchiole in the center divides into respiratory bronchioles with acini that contain alveoli. Lymphatics and veins run within the interlobular septa Centrilobular area in blue (left) and perilymphatic area in yellow (right)
  • 12. Clinical Presentation • Dyspnea on exertion or a persistent non productive cough • Abnormal CXR • Pulmonary symptoms associated with another disease, such as CVD • PFT abnormalities
  • 13. Approach to DPLD DPLD of known Cause Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonias Granulomatous Lung Diseases (Sarcoidosis) Drugs Exposure CVD IPF IIP other than IPF Desquamative Interstitial Pneumonia Non SpecificInterstitial Pneumonia Respiratory Bronchiolitis- Interstitial Lung disease Acute Interstitial Pneumonia CryptogenicOrganizing Pneumonia LymphocyticInterstitial Pneumonia Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis Pneumoconiosis Others LAM Histiocytosis X Malignancy RadiationToxic Inhalation IPF: 47-64% NSIP: 14 to 36% RBILD/DIP: 10- 17% COP: 4-12% AIP: 2% LIP: 2%

  • 18. History: Age and Gender – LAM – Tuberous sclerosis – Pneumoconiosis Age Gender
  • 19. History: Smoking • All of the following DPLD are associated with smoking : a) IPF b) RBILD c) DIP d) Histiocytosis X e) Syndrome of IPF & emphysema • In Goodpasture’s syndrome – 100% of smokers vs. 20% of nonsmokers experience pulmonary hemorrhage • Individuals exposed to asbestos who smoke are more likely to develop asbestosis
  • 24. 2. Subacute Diseases (weeks to months) • HSP, Sarcoid, Cellular NSIP, Drug, “Chronic” EP, Bronchiolitis/ SAD __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3. Chronic Diseases (months to years) • UIP, Fibrotic NSIP, Pneumoconioses, CVD-related, Chronic HSP Smoking (RBILD and PLCH) 1.

  • 174. Linear Pattern A linear pattern is seen when there is thickening of the interlobular septa, producing Kerley lines. Kerley B lines KerleyA lines The interlobular septa contain pulmonary veins and lymphatics. The most common cause of interlobular septal thickening, producing Kerley A and B lines, is pulmonary edema, as a result of pulmonary venous hypertension and distension of the lymphatics.

  • 177. b. Reticular Pattern A reticular pattern results from the summation or superimposition of irregular linear opacities. The term reticular is defined as meshed, or in the form of a network. Reticular opacities can be described as fine, medium, or coarse, as the width of the opacities increases. A classic reticular pattern is seen with pulmonary fibrosis, in which multiple curvilinear opacities form small cystic spaces along the pleural margins and lung bases (honeycomb lung)
  • 178. This 50-year-old man presented with end-stage lung fibrosis PA chest radiograph shows medium to coarse reticular B: CT scan shows multiple small cysts (honeycombing) involving predominantly the subpleural peripheral regions of lung. Traction bronchiectasis, another sign of end-stage lung fibrosis.
  • 179. c. Nodular pattern  A nodular pattern consists of multiple round opacities, generally ranging in diameter from 1 mm to 1 cm  Nodular opacities may be described as miliary (1 to 2 mm, the size of millet seeds), small, medium, or large, as the diameter of the opacities increases  A nodular pattern, especially with predominant distribution, suggests a specific differential diagnosis
  • 180. Disseminated histoplasmosis and nodular ILD. CT scan shows multiple bilateral round circumscribed pulmonary nodules.
  • 181. Hematogenous metastases and nodular ILD. This 45-year- old woman presented with metastatic gastric carcinoma. The PA chest radiograph shows a diffuse pattern of nodules, 6 to 10 mm in diameter.

  • 183. d. Reticulonodular pattern results A reticulonodular pattern results from a combination of reticular and nodular opacities. This pattern is often difficult to distinguish from a purely reticular or nodular pattern, and in such a case a differential diagnosis should be developed based on the predominant pattern. If there is no predominant pattern, causes of both nodular and reticular patterns should be considered.
