[Pulmonary biopsy in interstitial pneumopathies]

T Kuffer, Y Kapanci

    Schweizerische Medizinische Wochenschrift
    |December 5, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Pulmonary biopsies are crucial for diagnosing diffuse interstitial lung disease. Open biopsies offer the highest diagnostic yield, guiding treatment for various lung conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Pathology
    • Thoracic Surgery

    Context:

    • Diffuse interstitial lung diseases present diagnostic challenges.
    • Pulmonary biopsies are essential for accurate diagnosis.
    • Evaluating diagnostic yield of different biopsy techniques is important.

    Purpose:

    • To assess the diagnostic yield of different pulmonary biopsy techniques.
    • To determine the effectiveness of histological examination in diagnosing interstitial lung diseases.
    • To correlate biopsy findings with specific interstitial lung disease diagnoses.

    Summary:

    • 1119 pulmonary biopsies were performed on 108 patients with diffuse interstitial lung disease.
    • Open biopsies yielded the highest diagnostic accuracy (97.4%), followed by transparietal (81%) and transbronchial (60%) biopsies.
    • Histology provided definitive diagnoses for most conditions, except fibrosing alveolitis, where it suggested allergic etiology.

    Impact:

    • Open thoracotomy biopsy is the preferred method for diagnosing diffuse interstitial lung disease.
    • Histopathological analysis is critical for classifying lung pathologies.
    • Findings guide further clinical investigations, particularly for suspected allergic causes of fibrosing alveolitis.
