28 Diagnostic Algorithm for PAP Our Patient: Fiberoptic bronchoscopy w/ transbronchial biopsy and diagnostic bronchoalveolar lavage were performed. Image courtesy UptoDate 28

29 Diagnosis of PAP Our Patient: Normal Lung Image courtesy UptoDate Transbronchial biopsy revealed findings of alveolar proteinosis: thickened alveolar septa and alveola filled with abundant lipoproteinaceous material that stains pink w/ PAS stain. Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis Image courtesy UptoDate 29

30 Diagnosis of Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis Lavage Fluid Image courtesy UptoDate Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis Our Patient: Bornchoalveolar lavage returned fluid with characteristic large acellular eosinophilic bodies and eosinophilic granules. Centrifuge and PAS stain of the fluid revealed abundant proteinaceous material. Image courtesy UptoDate 30

31 An Additional Finding A separate abnormality was demonstrated on the background findings of PAP. 31

32 Helical CT - Our Patient s Second Finding Complex, thick-walled multicystic cavitary lesion in the right upper lobe. The finding demonstrates Helical CT s role as a screening test... Image courtesy BIDMC 32

33 High Resolution CT - Our Patient s Second Finding The finding was confirmed on High Resolution CT. Image courtesy BIDMC 33

34 High Resolution CT - Second Finding Image courtesy BIDMC 34

35 DDx for Lung Cavitation MORE COMMON Abscess Bulla Bronchogenic Carcinoma (S) Fungal disease Metastasis Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (M) Tuberculosis, other mycobacteria LESS COMMON Sarcoidosis (M) Amyloidosis Pneumoconioses Septic embolus Kaposi Sarcoma (M) Lymphoma Trauma Conditions that typically present with thin walled cavitation are presented here in non-bold print. Conditions that typically present only with single (S) or multiple (M) cavitations are so marked

36 DDx for Lung Cavitation in PAP Given the demonstrated assocation of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis with Nocardia superinfection, a presumptive diagnosis was made. 36

37 Our Patient: Further Findings Biopsy material and lavage gram stains and cultures ultimately ruled out PCP, fungal infection, nocardia (the presumed infectious agent) and other bacterial infection, and malignancy. However, acid fast stain revealed numerous red snappers. The patient was placed on precautions and begun on therapy for MDRTB pending definitive cultures. Approximately 1 hour after the procedures, the pt noted the acute onset of resting dyspnea. His O2 saturation dropped to 87% on 5L O2. A full expiration portable AP chest film was taken 37

These findings demonstrate tension pneumothorax. Image courtesy BIDMC A right chest tube was inserted and another portable film was taken

However, a small loculated pneumothorax is seen in the right lower lateral hemithorax With stabilization, the patient was sent for consecutive bilateral, therapeutic whole lung broncheo-alveolar lavage. Image courtesy BIDMC 46 46

47 Whole Lung Bronchioalveloar Lavage Lavage returned milky fluid with a thick layer of dense, proteinaceous sediment. Lavage was continued until the returned fluid was clear. The patient made good progress, and underwent chest and endotracheal extubations. An AP chest film was taken. Image courtesy UptoDate 47

48 CXR S/P Bronchoalveolar Lavage The loculated pneumo-thorax has resolved. Compared with findings on the pt s original film, diffuse opacification is greatly reduced Image courtesy BIDMC 48

50 Treatment for Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis 30-40% of PAP patients require only one bronchoalveolar lavage; the remainder are treated with lavage every 6 to 12 months. Lavage is the mainstay of treatment. Image courtesy BIDMC 50
