Clinical pathologic classification of interstitial and diffuse lung disease in childhood

Clinical pathologic classification of interstitial and diffuse lung disease in childhood
Category Key examples
Disorders more prevalent in infancy
Developmental lung disorders
  • Alveolar capillary dysplasia, with and without misalignment of the pulmonary veins
  • Acinar dysplasia and congenital alveolar dysplasia
Alveolar growth abnormalities
  • Pulmonary hypoplasia – eg, due to oligohydramnios, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, giant omphalocele, thoracic mass lesion
  • Chronic neonatal lung disease (bronchopulmonary dysplasia) – eg, due to prematurity
  • Associated with congenital heart disease
  • Structural changes due to chromosomal abnormalities – eg, trisomy 21
  • May be a manifestation of certain single-gene disorders, including NKX2-1 and FLNA
Other forms of diffuse lung disease presenting in infancy
  • NEHI
  • P.I.G.*
Genetic disorders of surfactant dysfunction and related abnormalities
  • Mutations in the SFTPB, SFTPC, ABCA3, NKX2-1, and RAB5B genes are associated with altered surfactant production
  • Mutations in the CSF2RA, CSF2RB, SLC7A7, MARS1, GATA2, STAT5B, and OAS1 genes impact the catabolism of surfactant via macrophage dysfunction; clinical manifestations may include pulmonary alveolar proteinosisΔ
Disorders not specific to infancy
Disorders of the normal host (immunocompetent)
  • Bronchiolitis obliterans – A clinical syndrome and histologic phenotype that may be caused by infectious (eg, adenovirus) or noninfectious processes (eg, toxic inhalation, chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis, or connective tissue disease)
  • Infectious/postinfectious processes – May cause chronic airway changes, bronchiolitis obliterans, or organizing pneumonia
  • Related to environmental agents (toxic inhalation or hypersensitivity pneumonitis)
  • Aspiration syndromes
  • Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis
  • Other disorders (eosinophilic pneumonia, AIP, NSIP)
Disorders of the immunocompromised host
  • Opportunistic infections
  • Related to therapeutic intervention – eg, chemotherapy and/or radiation injury; drug reaction
  • Related to transplantation or rejection syndromes (including bronchiolitis obliterans)
  • Primary immunodeficiencies or immune regulatory disorders – eg, pathogenic variants in STAT3, GATA2, COPA, CTLA4, or LRBA; STING-associated vasculitis with onset in infancy
  • Common histologic patterns include LIP and follicular bronchiolitis
Disorders related to systemic disease processes
  • Rheumatic disease/autoimmune – eg, juvenile systemic sclerosis (scleroderma); juvenile polymyositis/dermatomyositis; juvenile idiopathic arthritis; mixed connective tissue disease; systemic lupus erythematosus; Sjögren disease, anti-GBM antibody (Goodpasture), eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, ANCA-associated vasculitides
  • Metabolic or storage diseases – eg, Niemann-Pick disease, mucopolysaccharidosis, acid sphingomyelinase deficiency, glycogen storage diseases
  • Nonspecific pulmonary manifestations – NSIP, pulmonary hemorrhage syndromes, organizing pneumonia, nonspecific airway changes◊
  • Sarcoidosis
  • Dyskeratosis congenita (bone marrow hypoplasia, often with skin, nail, and mucosal changes)
  • Langerhans cell histiocytosis
  • Malignant infiltrates
Vascular disorders masquerading as ILD
  • Pulmonary hypertension
  • Congestive vasculopathy and veno-occlusive disease
  • Lymphatic disorders – eg, lymphangiectasia, lymphangiomatosis
  • Pulmonary edema
  • Thromboembolic disease
Unclassified
  • Captures cases of diffuse lung disease that cannot be classified for any reason; common reasons include end-stage disease, nondiagnostic biopsies, or inadequate biopsy material

AIP: acute interstitial pneumonia; ANCA: antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody; anti-GBM: Goodpasture; GBM: glomerular basement membrane; GM-CSF: granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor; LIP: lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia; NEHI: neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of infancy; P.I.G.: pulmonary interstitial glycogenosis; NSIP: nonspecific interstitial pneumonia; STING: stimulator of interferon genes.

* Often occurs in conjunction with an alveolar growth abnormality.

NKX2-1 gene mutations may result in reduced expression of the genes responsible for surfactant production and metabolism. In addition, a spectrum of lung disease phenotypes, including abnormal lung development, has been reported in association with NKX2-1/TTF1 gene mutations.
