Summary

For diffuse infiltrative lung disease (DILD), biopsy of the most radiographically involved lobe is sufficient. This approach accurately diagnoses conditions, making biopsies of other lung lobes unnecessary for effective patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Diffuse infiltrative lung disease (DILD) diagnosis often relies on lung biopsy.
  • Identifying the optimal biopsy site is crucial for accurate histopathological diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the most appropriate biopsy site in patients diagnosed with diffuse infiltrative lung disease (DILD).

Main Methods:

  • Open lung biopsy was performed on 20 patients with DILD.
  • Biopsies were taken from the most radiographically involved lobe and an adjacent lobe.
  • Histologic examination and microbial cultures were conducted on separate specimens.

Main Results:

  • In 17 patients, the second biopsy site showed fewer radiographic abnormalities.

  • Histologic diagnosis concordance was high: 8/10 for acute DILD and 10/10 for chronic DILD.
  • Microbial cultures yielded positive results in 3 patients, primarily from the most involved lobe.

    • Conclusions:

    • Biopsy from the radiographically most involved lobe in DILD patients is diagnostically sufficient.
    • Sampling additional lung lobes is generally unnecessary, streamlining the diagnostic process.
    • This targeted approach ensures accurate histopathological and microbiological assessment.
