间质性肺炎是一种几乎一致致命的纤维化间质性肺病。它是最常见的特发性间质性肺炎，目前尚无有效的治疗方法。肺活检通常需要诊断，病理学家必须能够识别其特征，并将其与其他间质性肺病区分开来，这些疾病具有更好的预后和对治疗的更有利反应。本文试图阐明普通型间质性肺炎的诊断病理特征，并为与其他间质性肺病的鉴别诊断提供指导。(C)2008年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Usual interstitial pneumonia is an almost uniformly fatal form of fibrosing interstitial lung disease. It is the most common idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, and currently, there is no effective therapy. Lung biopsy is often needed for diagnosis, and pathologists must be able to recognize its features and distinguish it from other interstitial lung diseases that have a better prognosis and a more favorable response to therapy. This review is an attempt to clarify the diagnostic pathologic features of usual interstitial pneumonia and to provide guidelines for its distinction front other interstitial lung diseases that enter the differential diagnosis.
