1 Diagnosis and Classification of Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonias: Role of Histopathology in the Golden Age of Consensus Jeffrey L. Myers, M.D. A. James French Professor of Diagnostic Pathology Vice Chair for Clinical Affairs & Quality Director, MLabs University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI Unpaid scientific collaborator & advisor with Veracyte, Inc. Diagnosis and Classification of Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonias: Role of Histopathology in the Golden Age of Consensus At the conclusion of this talk those who were actively engaged will be able to, diagnose histologically classic usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) in surgical lung biopsies, diagnose histologically classic nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) in surgical lung biopsies, articulate the significance of a histologic diagnosis of UIP or NSIP in the context of multidisciplinary review

Hunninghake. A new hope for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. NEJM 2014 Sixty-four cases of interstitial pneumonia were identified that could not be classified into one of the three main categories of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia. Nonspecific interstitial pneumonia must be separated from the three main forms of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia because of better prognosis and different treatment options.

15 It should not be considered a specific disease, however, because it may have varying etiologies...; less often it may reflect a nonrepresentative biopsy of another process. Nonspecific Interstitial Pneumonia Histologic Criteria chronic interstitial pneumonia with ( fibrotic NSIP ) or without ( cellular NSIP ) fibrosis temporally uniform without architectural distortion lacking other features (e.g. granulomas, pigmented [ smoker s ] alveolar histiocytes) to allow more specific classification Katzenstein & Fiorelli.

19 NSIP-like Areas Common in UIP Histologic Study of Biopsy and Explant Specimens areas resembling nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP-like areas) are present in the majority of UIP cases in both biopsy and explant specimens, and they are extensive in some.

24 Histopathologic Diagnosis in Diffuse Lung Disease An Ailing Gold Standard The recent view that a final diagnosis should be made by consensus between histopathologist, radiologist, and clinician is a radical departure from the diagnostic thinking of the late twentieth century. Athol Wells. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2004; 170: Goals to Improve Diagnosis and Reduce Diagnostic Error Facilitate more effective teamwork in the diagnostic process among health care professionals, patients, and their families Enhance health care professional education and training in the diagnostic process Ensure that health information technologies support patients and health care professionals in the diagnostic process Develop and deploy approaches to identify, learn from, and reduce diagnostic errors and near misses in clinical practice Establish a work system and culture that supports the diagnostic process and improvements in diagnostic performance Develop a reporting environment and medical liability system that facilitates improved diagnosis through learning from diagnostic errors and near misses Design a payment and care delivery environment that supports the diagnostic process Provide dedicated funding for research on the diagnostic process and diagnostic errors Diagnostic Process

DPLD of known cause or no association HRCT (eg, drugs, CTD, ±/not UIP occupational/environmental) Other clinically/radiologically surgical Not UIP distinct DPLDs Other histologically distinct lung biopsy ± UIP/NSIP DPLDs (eg, LCH, LAM) non-classifiable (eg, LCH, NSIP) fibrosis Granulomatous UIP DPLD multidisciplinary Granulomatous DPLD (eg, HP, sarcoidosis) review (eg, HP, sarcoidosis) UIP yes IPF IPF/Not IPF Not IPF! A subset (majority?) of patients with SLBx diagnoses of UIP/IPF will have an NSIPpattern on HRCT. A subset of patients (minority) with UIP/IPF will have SLBx diagnoses of NSIP ( pattern ) as a consequence of sampling bias. The sampling bias inherent in lung biopsies for diffuse lung disease is proportionally worse in patients with smaller closed (i.e., transbronchial forceps & cryo) biopsies. The smaller the biopsy the greater the risk!

31 A subset (majority?) of patients with SLBx diagnoses of UIP/IPF will have an NSIPpattern on HRCT. A subset of patients (minority) with UIP/IPF will have SLBx diagnoses of NSIP ( pattern ) as a consequence of sampling bias. Therefore, a subset of patients with UIP/IPF will be diagnosed as idiopathic NSIP even after multidisciplinary review. Lung, [site], wedge biopsy: UIP... sufficient to establish the diagnosis of, although not the clinical context for, UIP. Lung, [site], wedge biopsy: NSIP... necessary but insufficient to establish the diagnosis of NSIP.
