Article information

Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias represent a diverse group of lung diseases with diffuse effects on the lung parenchyma. In 2002, the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society consensus classification unified the descriptions of the different entities encompassed by idiopathic interstitial pneumonias. Despite this broad consensus there are still some entities without a clear definition and others, such as idiopathic bronchiolocentric interstitial pneumonia, that were only later described. We present the case and outcome of a woman diagnosed with idiopathic bronchiolocentric interstitial pneumonia by lung biopsy.

Key words:
Idiopathic bronchiolocentric interstitial pneumonia
Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia
Interstitial lung disease

Las neumonías intersticiales idiopáticas son un grupo heterogéneo de enfermedades pulmonares, que comprenden un grupo de entidades clinicopatológicas que afectan de forma difusa al parénquima pulmonar. En el año 2002 el consenso entre la American Thoracic Society (ATS) y la European Respiratory Society (ERS) unificó las características de las diferentes entidades que conforman el grupo de las neumonías intersticiales idiopáticas. A pesar de este amplio consenso, continúa habiendo entidades de las que no disponemos de una definición clara y otras no incluidas que se describieron posteriormente, como la neumonía intersticial bronquiolocéntrica idiopática. Se presentan el caso y la evolución de una paciente diagnosticada mediante biopsia pulmonar de neumonía intersticial bronquiolocéntrica idiopática.

Palabras clave:
Neumonía intersticial bronquiolocéntrica idiopática
Neumonía intersticial idiopática
Enfermedad pulmonar intersticial
