==Overview==
==Overview==
[[Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia]] is an idiopathic diffuse [[interstitial lung disease]] that affects the distal [[bronchioles]], respiratory [[bronchioles]], [[alveolar ducts]], and [[alveolar]] walls. The injury occurs within the [[alveolar]] wall. There is proliferation of [[granulation tissue]] which involves [[alveolar ducts]] and [[alveoli]]. There are 4 phases lead to the formation of mature fibrotic bud.


==Pathophysiology==
==Pathophysiology==
Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia lesions consist more of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts in the alveolar ducts and alveoli. There might be involvement of polyps in the bronchial lumen in some patients. There is excess of granulation tissue deposition and sometimes this pattern of extension may appear like a butterfly. Dysorganization of the alveolar epithelium is what causes cryptogenic organizing pneumonia. This disorganization leads to plasma protein leakage, fibroblast migration and fibrin deposition inside the lumen. Involvement of the vascular endothelial growth factors and matrix metalloproteinase also adds up to the cause.

Overview

Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia is an idiopathic diffuse interstitial lung disease that affects the distal bronchioles, respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveolar walls. The injury occurs within the alveolar wall. There is proliferation of granulation tissue which involves alveolar ducts and alveoli. There are 4 phases lead to the formation of mature fibrotic bud.

Pathophysiology

Pathogenesis

Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia is caused by excessive proliferation of granulation tissue which involves alveolar ducts and alveoli. Granulation tissue may extend from one alveolus to the adjacent one leading to the formation of mature fibrotic bud which gives characteristic "butterfly" pattern.

Various phases involved in the pathogenesis of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia are:[1]

1) Injury phase - The early phase of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia.

2) Proliferating phase - The second stage of the cryptogenic organizing pneumonia in which there is a formation of fibro-inflammatory buds.

3) Mature phase - The third stage is characterized by the formation of mature fibrotic buds which gives characteristic "butterfly" pattern.

4)Resolution phase - The fourth stage, this stage usually resolves if there is the preservation of alveolar basal laminae.

Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia is associated with the following conditions:[3][4]

Gross Pathology

On gross pathology of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia, following features are seen:

  • There is the firm area with preservation of lung pattern which extends to thickened pleura.[3]
