    Summary

    Surgical lung biopsy provides excellent histological yield for diagnosing diffuse interstitial lung disease. However, this study found higher morbidity and mortality rates than typically reported in the literature.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Diffuse interstitial lung diseases (DILDs) encompass a heterogeneous group of lung disorders.
    • Accurate diagnosis of DILDs is crucial for appropriate patient management and treatment.
    • Surgical lung biopsy is an invasive procedure often used to obtain tissue for diagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic yield and safety of surgical lung biopsy in patients with DILDs.
    • To compare the observed outcomes with existing literature data.
    • To assess the procedure's ability to establish a precise etiological diagnosis, including the exclusion of diffuse interstitial fibrosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 81 cases undergoing surgical lung biopsy for DILD.

  • Assessment of histological yield and diagnostic accuracy.
  • Evaluation of procedure-related morbidity and mortality.

    • Main Results:

    • Excellent histological yield was achieved, with only one uninterpretable case.
    • The procedure facilitated precise etiological diagnoses, aiding in the exclusion of diffuse interstitial fibrosis.
    • Morbidity and mortality rates were higher than those generally reported in the literature.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical lung biopsy is a valuable tool for diagnosing DILDs, offering high histological and etiological yield.
    • The procedure's tolerance may be associated with increased risks compared to previous reports.
    • Careful patient selection and risk-benefit assessment are essential for this invasive diagnostic method.
