Diffuse Parenchymal
Lung Diseases
Dr Muhammad Shoyab
FCPS (Part-II)
March 10, 2015
Definition
A heterogeneous group of conditions
that affect the connective tissue
interstitium as well as the alveolar
epithelium and capillary endothelium
of the lungs.
Harrison
Previously called ILD
• Involves not only interstitium
• But all components of lung parenchyma
• Hence renamed as DPLD
Oxford | Cecil | Davidson
DPLD is an “Umbrella” Term
• >200 disease entities
• Varying aetiologies & pathogeneses (infections &
malignancies not included, by convention)
• Clinical, spirometric, imaging & histologic features
are overlapping
Nadel
A Diagnostic Challenge
• Clinical, spirometric, imaging & histologic features
are overlapping
• 10% are normal on CXR & PFT
• HRCT 90% sensitive
Nadel
Role of Radiology
• About 10 diseases account for 90% cases
• Primary goal is to distinguish treatable
from untreatable disease

Diffuse Parenchymal Lung Diseases Atlas

  • 1. Diffuse Parenchymal Lung Diseases Dr Muhammad Shoyab FCPS (Part-II) March 10, 2015

  • 3. Previously called ILD • Involves not only interstitium • But all components of lung parenchyma • Hence renamed as DPLD Oxford | Cecil | Davidson

  • 76. Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Tubaikh • Ground-glass opacities represent pre-fibrotic change, i.e. treatable (steroid-responsive) • Extensive ground-glass opacities / ground-glass opacities other than adjacent to fibrotic areas suggest alternative diagnosis
  • 77. Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Tubaikh • Ground-glass opacities represent pre-fibrotic change, i.e. treatable (steroid-responsive) • Extensive ground-glass opacities / ground-glass opacities other than adjacent to fibrotic areas suggest alternative diagnosis • Absence of apicobasal gradient, relative sparing of subpleural zone suggest alternative diagnosis

Editor's Notes

  1. ILD represent a heterogeneous group of conditions that involve the parenchyma of the lung—the alveoli, the alveolar epithelium, the capillary endothelium, and the spaces between those structures—as well as the perivascular and lymphatic tissues. this heterogeneous group are classified together because of similar clinical, roentgenographic, physiologic, or pathologic manifestations (H-18).

  8. Distal to terminal bronchioles, i.e. take part in gas exchange
  9. secondary pulmonary lobule or parts of it can be seen by CT, even when lung is normal. That is why the secondary pulmonary lobule is the ideal unit of subsegmental lung organisation with which the CT and pathologic abnormality can be correlated. At the same time, HRCT is the only radiological method that can visualize details of the secondary pul-monary lobule, which is why it is the most useful imaging modality for ILD.
  10. septa penetrate deeply as incomplete partitions from the subpleural space between lung segments and subsegments but also between secondary pulmonary lobules and Acini . components of sec lob are not separated by septa but only supported by fibrous strands.

  12. D/D by pattern of interstitial involvement * Parenchymal : Elastic & collagen fibres that provide a supporting framework for the alveolar capillaries * peripheral connective tissue includes the sub-pleural space and the lung septa that penetrate deeply as incomplete partitions from the subpleural space into the lung not only between lung segments and subsegments but also between secondary pulmonary lobules and acini (Weibel1979). So the pleura is in anatomic continuity with the different lung septa. * AXIAL : originates at the hilum, surrounds the bronchovascular structures and extends peripherally upto at the centre of the acini

  14. Identification of these patterns is an important step in the evaluation of HRCT chest, followed by consideration of the location of involvement and patient data (ct lung)
