the dilated airspaces (distal).the emphysematous process is one of loss of lung parenchyma, not fibrosis.

There are two major types of emphysema: centrilobular (centriacinar) andpanlobular (panacinar). The former involves primarily the upper lobes while the

latter involves all lung fields, particularly the bases. Centrilobular emphysemaoccurs with loss of the respiratory bronchioles in the proximal portion of theacinus, with sparing of distal alveoli. This pattern is most typical for smokers.Panacinar emphysema occurs with loss of all portions of the acinus from the

respiratory bronchiole to the alveoli. This pattern is typical for alpha-1-antitrypsindeficiency.

- The diagnostic feature of chronic bronchitis in the trachea and larger bronchi issecreting glands-enlargement of the mucus

- The magnitude of the increase in size is assessed by the ratio of- the thickness of thesubmucosal gland layer to that of the bronchial wall (the Reid index-normally 0.4).

Well-defined granulomas are seen here. They have rounded outlines. The onetoward the center of the photograph contains several Langhans giant cells.

Granulomas are composed of transformed macrophages called epithelioid cellsalong with lymphocytes, occasional PMN's, plasma cells, and fibroblasts. The

localized, small appearance of these granulomas suggests that the immuneresponse is fairly good.

-Lymphocytes predominate

indicating type III hypersensitivity-- Interstitial noncaseating granulomas are present in more than two thirds of cases,

usually in a peribronchiolar location-

suggests a role for type IV hypersensitivity as well

Regardless of the etiology for restrictive lung diseases, many eventually lead toextensive fibrosis. The gross appearance, as seen here in a patient with

organizing diffuse alveolar damage, is known as "honeycomb" lung because ofthe appearance of the irregular air spaces between bands of dense fibrous

connective tissue.

heterogeneity)

The earliest lesions demonstrate exuberant fibroblastic proliferation and appear asfibroblastic foci

The cut surface shows fibrosis (firm, rubbery white areas), with lower lobe predominanceand a distribution in the subpleural regions and along the interlobular septa

On histologic examination, cryptogenic organizing pneumonia is characterized by thepresence of polypoid plugs of loose organizing connective tissue within alveolar ducts,

alveoli, and often bronchioles

The connective tissue is all of the same age, and the underlying lung architecture is normal

Microscopically, the bronchioloalveolar carcinoma is composed of columnarcells that proliferate along the framework of alveolar septae. The cells are well-

differentiated. These neoplasms in general have a better prognosis than mostother primary lung cancers.
