4 CHAPTER Airspace-Predominant Diseases This chapter includes diseases in which the predominant histologic changes occur within airspaces, including bronchiolar lumens, alveolar duct lumens, and alveolar spaces, rather than in the…
7 CHAPTER Infections I: Nongranulomatous Pneumonias This chapter includes nongranulomatous pneumonias in which a microbe can usually be identified in biopsy specimens, and in which pathologic recognition may be necessary…
3 CHAPTER Interstitial Diseases II: Fibrotic Variants As in Chapter 2, this chapter includes only those conditions that predominantly involve the interstitium with relative sparing of airspaces. In contrast, however,…
12 CHAPTER Miscellaneous Nodules, Depositions, and Cysts This chapter includes a number of miscellaneous, largely unrelated conditions. Most share the radiographic finding of a parenchymal nodule or nodules, whereas some…
2 CHAPTER Interstitial Diseases I: Cellular Variants Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a broad term that, depending on definition, may encompass a wide variety of unrelated diseases. To many clinicians,…
10 CHAPTER Pulmonary Hypertension and Other Noninflammatory Vascular Disorders This chapter includes pulmonary hypertension and other abnormalities of the pulmonary vasculature that cause significant respiratory dysfunction and are unrelated to…
6 CHAPTER Necrotizing Noninfectious Diseases This chapter reviews diseases characterized by parenchymal necrosis associated with a cellular tissue reaction in the absence of an infectious etiology. Contrasting histologic and clinical…
11 CHAPTER Large and Small Airway Diseases This chapter includes diseases in which the predominant pathologic changes involve bronchi and bronchioles. Emphasis is on those entities that may be encountered…
13 CHAPTER Pediatric Disorders This chapter reviews selected conditions occurring in infants and young children that are likely to be encountered by surgical pathologists. It does not include entities that…
1 CHAPTER Normal Lung, Common Artifacts, and Incidental Findings This chapter briefly reviews architectural landmarks in the lung that are important for understanding pathologic alterations and explains how they are…
