Nov 21, 2023 · Ill-defined centrilobular nodules are the classic finding of RB-ILD (~70%). Usually upper lung predominant, but may also be diffuse. The main differential diagnosis is hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP). Differentiation of RB-ILD from HP is discussed here: Mosaic attenuation, with patchy areas of reduced attenuation (~30%).
New definitions and diagnoses in interstitial pneumonia
Sep 12, 2018 · A first approach is to separate the eight pathologically defined patterns into six major (UIP, NSIP, COP, DIP, RB-ILD, AIP) and two rare or less commonly encountered entities (LIP and PPFE). Of the six major patterns, a review of their courses and presentations as well as associated clinical findings further leads to three subcategorizations:
