26
Q

Foregut cyst

A

lined by ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium with squamous metaplasia. Wall contains bronchial glands, cartilage and smooth muscle

27
Q

Curative for Foregut cyst

A

Surgical Resection

28
Q

Also called Congenital Adenomatoid Malformation (CCAM)

A

Congenital airway malformation

29
Q

Defect in the development of the terminal bronchioles

A

Congenital pulmonary airway malformation

30
Q

Histologic categories of congenital pulmonary airway malformation

A

Macrocytic (13%)
Microcystic (73%)
Solid Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation (13%)

31
Q

Macrocystic CPAM

A

Best prognosis

One or more large (>5mm on prenatal ultrasound) cysts are lined with normal pseudostratified ciliated epithelium)

32
Q

Microcystic CPAM

A

Small cysts lined with ciliated columnar or cuboidal epithelium (similar to lining of more distal and terminal airways)

33
Q

Solid cystic Adenomatoid Malformation

A

Worst prognosis

Airless Tissue mass composed of cuboidal epithelium lined bronchioles

34
Q

Presence of a discrete mass of lung tissue without normal connection to the airway system

A

Pulmonary sequestration

35
Q

Blood supply of the pulmonary sequestration arise from??

A

aorta and its branches

36
Q

External to the lung, and may be located anywhere in the thorax or mediastinum, Obvious separate mass from the main lung lobe, Abnormal mass lesion in infants, associated with other congenital anomalies

A

Extralobar sequestration

37
Q

Within the lung substance, Usually in older children, often associated with recurrent localized infection or bronchiectasis

A

Intralobar sequestration

38
Q

Mucus gland hyperplasia, Hypersecretion, redi index of >0.4

A

Chronic Bronchitis

39
Q

Airway dilation and scarring, necrotizing inflammation of airway

A

Bronchiectasis

40
Q

Smooth muscle hyperplasia, excessive mucus inflammation, reversible narrowing/ obstruction of airway

A

Asthma

41
Q

Airspace enlargement; wall destruction

A

Emphysema

42
Q

Inflammatory scarring, obliteration of bronchioles

A

Small-airway disease/ Bronchiolitis

43
Q

Predominant Bronchitis

A
Age: 40-45
Dyspnea: Mild; late
Cough: Early; copious sputum
Infections: Common
Respiratory Insufficiency: Repeated
Cor pulmonale : common
Airway Resitance: Increased
Elatic Recoil: Normal
Chest Radiograph: Prominent vessels;large heart
Appearance: blue Bloater
44
Q

Predominant Emphysema

A
Age: 50-75
Dyspnea: Severel earlyl classic characteristic for emphysema
Cough: Late; scabty sputum
Infections: Occasional
Respiratory insufficiency: terminal
Cor pulmonale: Rare
Airway Resistance: Normal
Elastic Recoil: Low
Chest Radiograph: Hyperinflation; small heart
Appearance: Pink puffer
45
Q

Abnormal permanent enlargement of the airspaces distal to the terminal bronchioles

A

Emphysema

Destruction of their walls without obvious fibrosis in contrast to overinflation

46
Q

Overinflation

A

Enlargement of airspaces not accompanied by destruction

47
Q

Emphysema types according to its anatomic distribution within the lobule:

A

Centriacinar
Panacinar
Distal acinar
Irregular

48
Q

Centriacinar

A

Clinically significant
20x more common than panacinar
Distal acinar are usually spared

49
Q

Panacinar

A

Clinically significant

Q

Distal acinar and irregular types
