Sarcoidosis
Sarcoidosisisamultisysteminflammatorydiseasemostcommonlyaffectingthelungs. Otherorgansarelesscommonlyinvolvedandincludetheskin,lymphnodes,eyes,heart,andnervous system.However,anyorganmaybeaffectedbysarcoidosis.
85
The cause of sarcoidosis has not been identified, but is likely the interaction of a number of environmentalandhostgeneticfactors.
86
Sarcoidosistypicallyoccursinyoungadults. It is more common in African Americans than in Caucasians (3–4 times higher incidence). African Americans also present with earlier onset disease, and with a greater burden of extrapulmonary disease.In addition,AfricanAmericanpatientshavehigherhospitalizationratesandhighermortality rates(8–14timeshigher).
87
Inupto50%ofcases,sarcoidosismaybeasymptomaticanddetectedonincidentalchestimaging. When symptomatic, patients often present with progressive dyspnea, nonproductive cough, or chest pain. Extrapulmonarymanifestationsofsarcoidosisinclude88:
Oculardiseasemayincludeuveitis,retinaldisease,conjunctivitis,andlachrymalglandinvolvement. Skin disease may manifest with various rashes including erythema nodosum (raised, red, tender nodulesonanterior legs) andlupus pernio (induratedplaques withassociateddiscolorationofthe nose,cheeks,lips,andears). Nervous system involvement can manifest as encephalopathy, granulomatous meningitis, mononeuritismultiplex,orahostofotherneurologicanomalies. Cardiac involvement may result in cardiomyopathy and heart failure, ventricular aneurysms, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death.89 The heart may be the only organ involved in>20% of cases. Endocrineinvolvementcanmanifestashypercalcemiaandhypercalciuriasecondarytodysregulated productionofcalcitriol.
90
Sarcoidosismayalsopresentwithtwowell-describedacuteclinicalsyndromes88:
Löfgren syndrome is characterized by arthritis, erythema nodosum, and bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy.
86
Heerfordtsyndromepresentswitha combinationofuveitis, parotidgland swelling, fevers, andin somecasesfacialpalsy.Itisalsoknownasuveoparotidfever.
CXRimaginginsarcoidosis maymanifestwithpulmonary opacities, thoracic lymphadenopathy, ora combinationofboth.CXRisalsousedtostagethedisease(Table10-8).

sarcoidosis-staging?lang=us
On HRCT, parenchymal nodules appear in almost 80% of patients. They typically follow a perilymphatic distribution andmay coalescence into larger opacities.86 Other findings may include alveolaropacities,pulmonaryfibrosis,andairtrappingonexpiratoryimaging(Table10-6). Laboratorytestingshouldbeobtained.Serumcalcium,urinecalcium,CBC,BMP,andLFTsshouldall bechecked.Abnormalitiesinthesearenotdiagnostic ofsarcoidosisbutcanhelpdetermineextentof diseaseandorganinvolvement. Intheappropriateclinicalsetting,sarcoidosisisdiagnosedbythepresenceofnoncaseatinggranulomas on biopsy samples of involved organs (commonlythe lung,lymphnodes, or skin).Thepresence of granulomasinmorethanoneorgansystemispreferablewhenmakingthediagnosis.
90
Exclusionofotherdiseasesisobligatorywhendiagnosingsarcoidosis.90Excludinginfectiousdisease is of particular importance, especially in patients who reside in areas with endemic fungal or mycobacterialdisease,asthesecanmimicsarcoidosis. Treatmentofsarcoidosis canbecomplicated,andreferral topulmonaryandotherspecialistsisoften necessary. Formilddisease,symptomsandradiographicchangesmayremitintheabsenceoftreatment. In the setting of more symptomatic or progressive disease, corticosteroids are typically first-line therapyandmanypatientscanbetreatedwithintermittentsteroidtherapyalone(Table10-7). Patients with moreadvanced disease or those requiring longer-term steroid therapymay needtobe transitionedtosteroid-sparingimmunosuppressionsuchasmethotrexateorazathioprine. Tumor necrosis factor alpha antagonists are typically reserved for severe disease that progresses despitetheaforementionedtherapies.
91
Prognosis is highly variable, ranging from indolent self-remitting disease to progressive fibrosis requiring transplantation.Asabroadrule,acuteonsetdiseasetendstowardabetterprognosis,while moreindolentonsetdiseasemaybecomeunremittinglyprogressive.
OrganizingPneumonia
OP is a nonspecific pulmonaryresponsetoinjurycharacterizedbyinflammationandproliferationof granulationtissueinthealveoliandterminalbronchioles. OPwaspreviouslyreferredtoasbronchiolitisobliteranswithOP. OPmaybeeither:
Idiopathic,referredtoasCOP,andoneofthesubtypesofidiopathicinterstitialpneumonia,or Secondary, and occur in association with CTDs, drug toxicity (e.g., amiodarone, checkpoint inhibitors), infections,inhalational injury (e.g.,cocaine,industrialgasses),radiationtreatment,and alongwithotherILDs(e.g.,vasculitis).
92
Patientsoften presentwithdyspnea,cough,fevers,malaise,fatigue,andweightlosslasting weeksto months. Thesesymptoms maymimic pneumonia,anda frequentscenario is a patientpresenting with multipleepisodesof“pneumonia”unresponsivetoantibioticstherapy. On HRCT, OP manifests with multifocal patchy consolidation, often in a peripheral or peribronchovasculardistribution.Theopacitiesmayaffectalllungzonesandwhenfollowedovertime maybemigratory.92ThereversehalooratollsignisthoughttobeveryspecificforOPonHRCTbutis notcommonlyseen(Table10-6).
https://t.me/med1917
DiagnosisisoftensuggestedthroughacombinationofgoodhistorytakingandHRCTappearance. PFTsarenonspecificandmaydemonstraterestriction. BALisusefultoruleoutinfection. Themethodoflungbiopsyiscontroversial.WhileTBBxmaymakethediagnosis,somefeelthatthey maynotbesufficienttodetectsecondarycausesofOPduetothesmallsizeofthebiopsies.Assuch, severalcentersrecommendVATSbiopsywhereOPissuspected.
64
Patientsnormallyhavegoodresponsetotreatmentwithsteroids.However,recurrenceiscommonand long-termsteroidtherapyover3–6monthsisgenerallyrecommended.IfOPcontinueswithoutresponse totreatmentorprogressestofibrosis,prognosisispoor. Incasesassociatedwithotherdiseases(e.g.,vasculitis,CTD),treatmentisdirectedattheunderlying cause.
Smoking-RelatedILD
CertainILDsmanifestalmostexclusivelyinsmokers.TheseincludeRB-ILD,DIP,andPLCH.
RESPIRATORYBRONCHIOLITISINTERSTITIALLUNGDISEASE
RB-ILDistypicallyassociatedwithheavysmoking(often30pack-yearsormore).
93
Itcommonlypresentsinthethirdtofifthdecadesoflife. On HRCT, RB-ILD manifests with centrilobular ground-glass nodules, often with an upper lobe predilection. In some cases, the nodules are more confluent and present as ground-glass opacities (Table10-6). Other changes related to smoking, such as emphysema and bronchial wall thickening, may also be present.
94
Symptomsandradiographicfindingsoftenimprovewithsmokingcessation(Table10-7).
94
DESQUAMATIVEINTERSTITIALPNEUMONIA
DIPmayrepresentaspectrumofdiseasealongwithRB-ILD. NinetypercentofpatientswithDIPareheavysmokers.
95
Theother 10%may haveCTD,HIV,or environmentalexposures. Acongenital form maybe seenin children. The predominant HRCTfinding in DIP is bilateral ground-glass opacity, which may be peripheral, patchy, or diffuse in distribution. Itis classicallydescribed as triangular-shaped opacities radiating fromthehilatotheperipheryofthelung;however,thisfindingisnotedinonlyaminorityofpatients (Table10-6). Smallcysticspacesoccasionallydevelopwithintheground-glassopacities. Responsetosmokingcessationisfavorable,althoughsomepatientsmayrequirecorticosteroidtherapy (Table10-7).
96
Thediseaseoccasionallypersistsdespitetherapy.
PULMONARYLANGERHANSCELLHISTIOCYTOSIS
Langerhanscellhistiocytosisisararedisorderofunknownetiology. It results from abnormal clonal proliferation of Langerhans cells derived from bone marrow precursors. Multisystem involvement with extrapulmonary disease involving the skin, central nervous system, skeleton, andotherorgans is commoninchildrenbutrare inadultswherediseaseis confinedtothe
https://t.me/med1917
lungs.
97
PLCHpresentsinadultsmokersbetweentheagesof20and40yearswithcough,dyspnea,weightloss, andoccasionallyspontaneouspneumothorax.
97
HRCTdemonstratesacombinationofnodulesandcysts.
63
Nodules tend to predominate in early disease. They range from few to innumerable in number and typicallyhaveacentrilobulardistribution.Theymayhaveirregularmarginsandcavitatetoformcysts. Cystic lung lesions predominate in later disease. The cysts are characterized by irregular/bizarre marginsandhaveanupperlobepredominance,oftensparingthelungbases.Theycystsarecommonly thinwalledbutmayoccasionallybeafewmillimetersthick. UnliketypicalILDs,lungvolumesareoftenpreserved. The primary therapy for PLCH is smoking cessation. Response to smoking cessation is considered good,withupto50%ofpatientsdemonstratingimprovementorresolution.
98
Approximately20%ofpatientshavepersistent,progressivedisease. Inthesepatients,atrailofsteroidtherapymaybeconsidered,butdataforthisarelacking. In the most resistantforms of disease, chemotherapeutic agents including cladribineandvinblastine havebeenusedwithvariablesuccess. Some patients with PLCH have mutations in the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway such as BRAFV600E.Inthesepatients,targetedtherapywithvemurafenib(aBRAFkinaseinhibitor)hasbeen used.
98
Pneumoconioses
Pneumoconioses are diseases ofthe lungparenchyma that result from exposureto airborne dustsor fibersincludingasbestos,silica,beryllium,coal,tin,andothers.
99
Pneumoconiosis (with the exception of asbestosis) are characterized by upper lobe–predominant nodularpatternsonCTthathavethepotentialtoconglomerateovertimetoformlargespaceoccupying lesionsknownasprogressivemassivefibrosis.
ASBESTOS-INDUCEDLUNGDISEASE
Arises from exposure to asbestos, a substance historically used in construction, insulation, and fireproofingmaterials. HRCT findings may range from pleural thickening, pleural plaques (often with calcification), subpleural banding (reticulation running parallel to the pleura), to parenchymal changes resembling UIP. The presence of pleural plaques aids in differentiation from other ILDs, but asbestos-related fibroticdiseasecanexistintheabsenceofpleuralmanifestations. Treatmentfocusesonasbestosavoidanceandsupportivecare. Prognosis is goodin mild disease, although the risk of lung cancer is significantlyincreased in the settingofconcomitantcigaretteuse. Exposuretoasbestosalsoincreasestheriskofdevelopingmesothelioma.
SILICOSIS
Silicosis results from exposure to crystalline silica, which is found in stone and sand. Foundry workers,constructionworkers,sandblasters,andglassblowersareatincreasedrisk.
100
HRCT typically demonstrates small nodules in the upper and mid zones with hilar adenopathy in a patternthatmayresemblethoseseeninsarcoidosis.Thisisknownassimplesilicosis. Simplesilicosismayprogresstocomplicatedsilicosischaracterizedbycoalescenceofnodulesinthe
https://t.me/med1917
perihilarareasofthelungtoformconglomeratemassesorareasofprogressivemassivefibrosis. Treatment is supportive, although close monitoring for development of TB is warranted given the increasedriskofTBinthesepatients.
101
An acute form of silicosis, also known as silicoproteinosis, has been described with episodes of inhalation of high concentrations of silica. It appears as diffuse ground-glass opacities on CXR. Mortalityishigh.
BERYLLIOSIS
Berylliosisiscausedbyexposuretoberylliumandberylliumcompounds.
102
Exposureoccursintheaerospaceindustry,atomicindustry,berylliummining,andfluorescentlightbulb manufacturing. Itisclinicallyindistinguishablefrompulmonarysarcoidosis.
COALWORKERS’PNEUMOCONIOSIS
Coals workers’ pneumoconiosis (CWP) is caused by inhalation of high carbon coal dust. It is commonlyknownas“blacklungdisease.” HRCT typically demonstrates small nodules in the upper and mid zones. This is known as simple silicosis.
103
Simple CWP may progress to complicated CWP characterized by coalescence of nodules in the perihilarareasofthelungtoformareasofprogressivemassivefibrosis. Caplansyndrome,alsoknownasrheumatoidpneumoconiosis,isthepresenceofpulmonarynodulesin the lungsofpatientsdiagnosed withrheumatoidarthritis whohavealsobeenexposedtocoaldust.It hasalsobeendescribedinpatientswithrheumatoidarthritisexposedtosilica.
CysticLungDiseases
Cystic lung diseases are a heterogeneous group of disorders that include LAM, PLCH, BHD, LIP, pulmonaryamyloidosis,andlightchaindepositiondisease. These diseases are characterized by the presence of cysts on HRCT imaging. Cysts are air-filled lucencies or low attenuation areas with thin (usually ≤2 mm) walls located within normal lung parenchyma.
104
Thecystsrangefromfewtoinnumerableinnumber. Cystsshouldnotbeconfusedwithemphysema,bullae,pneumatoceles,honeycombing,orcavitarylung lesions. Thelocationandthicknessofthecystwallscanbehelpfulfordiseasedifferentiation.
PLCH is generally characterized by upper lobe–predominant cysts with thicker and irregular/bizarre-shapedwalls. BHDdemonstrates larger-sized cystswitha peripheral andbasilar distribution, often abutting the pleura. LAM,LIP,andamyloidosismostoftenhavearandomdistributionofcysts.
105
Cystic lung diseases are associatedwith a high incidenceof pneumothoraxcompared tothegeneral population,andpneumothoraxisacommonpresentingcomplaint.
LYMPHANGIOLEIOMYOMATOSIS
LAMisaprogressivecysticlungdiseaseseenalmostexclusivelyinwomenofchildbearingage. LAM may develop sporadically or as part of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), a neurocutaneous
https://t.me/med1917
multisystemdisordercharacterizedbymultiplebenignhamartomasoftheskin,brain,kidney,lung,and otherorgans.
106
MenwithTSCmayalsodevelopLAM. Most patients present with progressive dyspnea. Other presentations include pneumothorax, and chylouspleuralandabdominaleffusions. ThemostcommonextrapulmonarymanifestationsofLAMarerenalangiomyolipomas(AML)—benign kidneytumorscontainingbloodvessels,smoothmuscle,andfattytissue.
107
LymphangioleiomyomasareanothercharacteristicfeatureofLAM.Theyarefluid-filledstructuresthat canbeseenintheretroperitonealspace,pelvis,andmediastinum.
106
LAM is usually diagnosed based on a combination of clinical presentation and imaging findings includingcysticlungdiseaseandrenalAMLs. VEGF-Dlevelscanbetested,withlevels ≥800pg/mLreliablydistinguishingLAMfrom othercystic lungdiseases.
62
Genetic testing for tuberous sclerosis (TSC1 and TSC2 gene mutations) can be undertaken where clinicallyindicated. Inrarecases,lungbiopsymaybeneededforhistopathologicconfirmation.
108
Thisis usuallypursued
via bronchoscopy and TBBx. Surgical biopsy is no longer commonly performed. Lesions will demonstratecharacteristichumanmelanomablack45staining. First-line therapy for pulmonary LAM currently is the mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor, sirolimus,whichhasbeenshowntoreducediseaseprogression.
109
Everolimushasbeenshowntobeeffectiveinpatientswhodonottoleratesirolimus.
110
Otherwise,supportivecare,includingoxygentherapy,avoidanceofactivitiesthatcouldplacepatients athigherriskforpneumothorax,andpulmonaryrehabilitationaremainstaysoftherapy. Insomecases,patientsmayrequireevaluationforlungtransplantation.
OTHERCYSTICLUNGDISEASES
PLCH:
PLCHisdescribedinthe“Smoking-relatedILD”section.
BHDsyndromeisararecauseofcysticdiseaseassociatedwithskinandrenalneoplasms.
111
ItistheresultofgermlinemutationsintheFLCNgene,whoseproductisfolliculin,aputativetumor suppressorprotein. PulmonarycystsinBHDareirregularlyshapedandcommonlylocalizedtothelungbases,oftenina subpleurallocation.
112
BHDcanbediagnosedbasedonclinicalpresentationandmaybeconfirmedbyskinbiopsyshowing fibrofolliculomas,askinhamartomacharacteristicofBHD. GenetictestingforFLCNmutationcanalsobeperformed. Treatmentissupportive,andprogressionisgenerallyslow.
107
Amyloidosis can be associated with cystic lung disease in the setting of underlying systemic amyloidosis or maybe organ limited to the lungs (MALT lymphoma). It may also be seen inlong­standingCTDsormyeloma.
113
The cysts are variable insize and distribution. They may be associated with tracheal disease or pulmonarynodules,whichoftencalcify.
Treatmentfocusesontheunderlyingcondition. LIPisararedisease,usuallyassociatedwithCTDs(primarilySjögrensyndrome),lymphoproliferative diseases(e.g.,lymphoma),andviralinfections(e.g.,HIV).Idiopathiccasesalsooccur.
114
Imaging demonstrates irregular cysts, multifocal ground-glass opacities, nodularity, and septal
https://t.me/med1917
thickening.
Treatmentandprognosisarevariabledependingontheunderlyingcondition.
GeneralManagementConsiderations
All ILD patients should be monitored for the development of hypoxemic respiratory failure. Supplementaloxygenationshouldbeprovidedtomaintainoxyhemoglobinsaturationbypulseoximetry (SpO2)≥89%bothatrestandwithexertion(measuredby6MWtesting).
Smokingcessation/avoidanceshouldbestronglyencouraged. Patientsshouldavoidoccupational/environmentaltriggersoftheirILD,ifidentified. Pulmonaryrehabilitationtherapyshouldbeprescribedforallpatientsiftheymeeteligibilitycriteria. Bone density assessment is recommended for patients receiving chronic systemic corticosteroid therapy,alongwithperiodicreassessment(e.g.,every1–2years).  Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia prophylaxis should be considered in patients receiving chronic steroidtherapy,
115
generallyatdosesof>15mgprednisonedaily.
Patientsonimmunosuppressivetherapyshouldhaveappropriatebloodwork(CBCand/orBMPand/or LFT)monitoredperiodically. Patientsshouldreceivevaccinationsagainstpneumococcusandinfluenza. Patients withILDs should be considered for referral to centers with expertise in the diagnosis and treatmentoftheseconditions,withconsiderationforparticipationinongoingclinicaltrials. ILD increases the risk of PH.
116
Patients withdyspnea out of proportion to their parenchymal lung
diseaseorthosewithsymptomsofrightheartfailureshouldbescreenedwithTTE.Althoughtheuseof pulmonary vasodilators in this population remains controversial, recent studies have shown improvementinfunctionalstatuswithinhaledtreprostinil.
117
SeveralILDsareassociatedwithanincreasedincidenceofmalignancy.(e.g.,IPF,asbestosis).Rapid weight loss or radiographic changes (e.g., new solitary nodules or persistent consolidation) should raisesuspicionandpromptfurtherworkup. Goalsofcareandexpectationsoftherapyshouldbemadecleartoallpatients. Palliative care is anongoing partof disease managementinmanyILDs,andhospice care should be discussedwithallpatientswithadvanceddiseasewhoarenottransplantcandidates.Opendiscussions ofgoalsofcarearehelpfulinguidingmanagementofacuteexacerbationsandprogressivedisease.
118
Hemoptysis
GENERALPRINCIPLES
Hemoptysisisthecoughingupofbloodorblood-stainedmucus.Itisasignofunderlyingpulmonary pathology.Itcanbelifethreateningandrequiresrapididentification,workup,andtreatment.
Definition
Truehemoptysisisexpectorationofbloodfromthelowerrespiratorytractbelowtheglottis.Massiveorlife-threateninghemoptysis:
Isusuallydefinedbyvolumeperunittime. Itismostcommonlydefinedas>600mLofbloodexpectoratedper24hours.
119,120
Volumesof>100mL in24hours associatedwithgasexchangeabnormality,airwayobstruction, or
https://t.me/med1917
hemodynamicinstabilityarealsoconsideredlifethreatening.
Classification
Clinically,hemoptysisisusuallyclassifiedasbeingmassive/lifethreateningornot(seeabove).Itmay alsobeclassifiedbytheanatomiclocationofthebleeding.
Airway Parenchyma Vascular Combination
Therearevariousotherclassificationsintheliteraturebasedonappearance,frequency,rate,volume,and potentialforclinicalconsequencesofthehemoptysisthatmaysuggestanunderlyingetiologyorpredict outcomeandthushelpguideindiagnosisandmanagement.However,considerableoverlapexistsinthe clinicalpresentationbothwithinandbetweenetiologies.

Pathophysiology
Thesourceofhemoptysisdependsontheetiologyandlocationoftheunderlyingpathologicprocess.
Thepulmonaryarterialcirculationsupplies99%ofallbloodflowtothelungparenchymaunderlow pressure. Disruption can result in minor hemoptysis or more life-threatening hemoptysis due to processes such as vasculitis, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, pulmonary embolism, acute respiratory distress syndrome, arteriovenous malformation (AVM) rupture, pulmonary artery catheter trauma, severemitralstenosis,LVfailure,orRasmussenaneurysm(pulmonaryarteryaneurysmassociatedwith TB).  The bronchial arterial circulation arises from the aorta and intercostal arteries. It supplies high- pressurebloodflowtothelungsbut accountsforonly1%ofpulmonarybloodflow.Disruptionbya foreignbody,tumorinvasion,fungalinvasion,ordenudedairwaymucosa canresultinmassive, life­threateninghemoptysis.Bleedingfromthebronchialcirculationmayaccountforupto88%ofallcases ofmassivehemoptysis.

Themostimportantfactstogatherincludevolume ofhemoptysis, patientage, smokinghistory,prior lungdisease,previousmalignancy,riskfactorsforcoagulopathy,andpriorepisodesofhemoptysis.

PHYSICALEXAMINATION
Obtainingvitalsignsincludingoxygensaturationisthefirststepinpatientexamination. Thereafter, one should pay attention to the patient’s general stateof health, lung examination noting focal or diffusely abnormal findings such as bronchial breath sounds, crackles, stridor, and/or
