Organizing pneumonia, abbreviated OP, is a histologic pattern in lung pathology. It fits into the larger category of diffuse lung diseases.
General
- Multiple causes, e.g. transplant rejection, infection.
Clinical diagnoses:[1]
- Transplant rejection.
- Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP), AKA (idiopathic) bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP).
- Should not be confused with constrictive bronchiolitis (AKA bronchiolitis obliterans).
- Collagen vascular disease.
- Toxic injury.
- Infection.
- Peri-tumour - in proximity to a space-occupying lesion (abscess, neoplasm).
Note:
- BOOP is used as a synonym for organizing pneumonia which has the long differential diagnosis above.[1]
- Confusingly, it may be used to refer to the idiopathic form of organizing pneumonia, now generally known as cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP).
- In other words, strictly speaking, BOOP is not the same as COP; idiopathic BOOP is COP.
- Confusingly, it may be used to refer to the idiopathic form of organizing pneumonia, now generally known as cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP).
Microscopic
Features:[2]
- Distal airway disease -- airways plugged with organizing exudate ("Masson bodies").
- "Organized exudate" = fluffy light-staining paucicellular regions with stellate cells (fibroblasts & immature connective tissue).
- No hobnailing of pneumocytes.
- Type 2 pneumocytes hyperplasia is absent.
DDx:
- Diffuse alveolar damage, proliferative phase - has type 2 pneumoncyte hyperplasia.
- Bronchiolitis obliterans.
