Diffuse alveolar damage
Diagnosis in short

Hyaline membranes. H&E stain.
LM dependent on phase - exudative: hyaline membranes; proliferative: interstitial thickening, inflammation (lymphocytes), type 2 pneumocyte hyperplasia, edema, Masson bodies in the airway, hyaline material (usu. focal); fibrotic: interstitial inflammation, interstitial fibrosis
Subtypes exudative, proliferative, fibrotic
LM DDx organizing pneumonia (especially for proliferative phase DAD), bronchiolitis obliterans
Site lung - see diffuse lung diseases
Prognosis often poor, dependent on severity and comorbidities
Other histologic correlate of: acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), acute interstitial pneumonia (AIP), transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI); may be seen in chronic interstitial lung disease - esp. IPF
Treatment dependent on underlying cause

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).
  • 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]
  • Transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI) may have DAD; however, cases are reported without the pattern.[4]
  • DAD may be seen in acute exacerbations of chronic interstitial lung disease, e.g. idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.[5]

Microscopic

Features:[6][7]

  1. Exudative:
    • Hyaline membranes - key feature.
      • Debris (pink crap) lines the alveolar spaces.
  2. Proliferative:
    • Interstitial thickening.
    • Inflammation (lymphocytes).
    • Hobnailing of alveolar lining cells (type 2 pneumocyte hyperplasia[8]).
    • Edema (link pink crap in the alveoli).
    • Masson bodies in the airway.
    • Hyaline material (usu. focal) - key feature.
  3. Fibrotic:
    • Interstitial inflammation.
    • Fibrosis.

DDx:[7]

Images

  • Exudative phase DAD - low mag. (WC/Nephron)

  • Exudative phase DAD - intermed. mag. (WC/Nephron)

  • Exudative phase DAD - high mag. (WC/Nephron)

  • Exudative phase DAD - very high mag. (WC/Nephron)

  • Exudative DAD (WC)
