Disease relevance of Pneumonia, Lipid

• Ultrastructural study of endogenous lipid pneumonia and pulmonary alveolar proteinosis coexistent with lung cancer [1].
• The pulmonary findings were classified into four types: I. alveolar proteinosis type, II. intra alveolar fibrosis type, III. interstitial fibrosis type, and IV. lipid pneumonia type with cholesterol granuloma [2].

High impact information on Pneumonia, Lipid

• We report an unusual case of chronic lipid pneumonia complicated with massive haemoptysis who responded to steroid therapy after arterial embolization [3].
• Alveolar cells in cyclophosphamide-induced lung injury. II. Pathogenesis of experimental endogenous lipid pneumonia [4].
• Alveolar proteinosis (AP) and postobstructive or endogenous lipid pneumonia (ELP) are two distinct morphologic types of phospholipid accumulation in the lung [5].
• The other 2 patients with PAP clinically and by biopsy had atypical cytologic findings, with one showing numerous macrophages with scant PAS-positive material and abundant lipid mimicking lipid pneumonia, and one showing moderate eosinophils in addition to the extracellular proteinacous material [6].
• Histomorphological studies showed that the observed highly variable accumulation of beta-carotene in lung tissue was most probably due to an endogenously caused lipid pneumonia [7].

Anatomical context of Pneumonia, Lipid

• Endogenous lipid pneumonia (ELP) and pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (AP) are the most common pathological conditions of lung tissue in which there is an increased accumulation of surfactant elements in pulmonary alveoli [8].
