Diffuse alveolar damage, abbreviated DAD, is a relatively common lung pathology that is grouped with the diffuse lung diseases and has several clinical correlates.
General
Etiology:
- Abrupt hypoxemia with pulmonary infiltrates leading to epithelial cell and endothelial cell death not accompanied by cardiac failure.[1]
Classically, DAD is the histologic correlate of:
- Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
- AKA adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) to differentiate it from respiratory distress syndrome in infants.
- Acute interstitial pneumonia (AIP).
The DDx is broad:[2]
- Infection/sepsis.
- Toxic (smoke, oxygen).
- Drug (amiodarone, chemotherapy).
- Trauma/shock.
- Inflammatory.
- Idiopathic.
Notes:
- DAD may not be present in all cases that are clinically ARDS.[3]
- TRALI may have DAD; however, cases are reported without the pattern.[4]
Microscopic
- Exudative:
- Hyaline membranes - key feature.
- Debris (pink crap) lines the alveolar spaces.
- Hyaline membranes - key feature.
- Proliferative:
- Interstitial thickening.
- Inflammation (lymphocytes).
- Hobnailing of alveolar lining cells (type 2 pneumocyte hyperplasia[7]).
- Edema (link pink crap in the alveoli).
- Masson bodies in the airway.
- Hyaline material (usu. focal) - key feature.
- Fibrotic:
- Interstitial inflammation.
- Fibrosis.
DDx:[6]
- Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia - especially for proliferative phase DAD.
- Bronchiolitis obliterans.
