In the diagnosis of interstitial lung disease, bronchoscopic transbronchial lung biopsy is an integral component of the initial diagnostic evaluation.

Both Nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) and cryptogenic organizing pneumonia/bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (COP/BOOP) have similar features of organizing pneumonia.

A 50-year-old man is referred to you for surgical biopsy. Pathology reveals interstitial pneumonia with mononuclear infiltration of the alveolar septa without associated fibrosis. Which disease procress is he most likely to have?

Patients with lymphoid interstitial pneumonia (LIP) have a high (> 40%) incidence of malignant conversion to lymphoma

Which of the following diseases has a female predominance?

A 65-year-old male 40-pack year smoker is referred to your office with a 2 cm solid nodule in the left lower lobe of the lung found on screening low dose CT scan. It has smooth borders and central calcifications. Incidentally you discover an old CT scan from 2 years ago and at that time the nodule was measured at 2.1 cm. What is the next best step in the management of this mass?

A 65-year-old male non-smoker is referred to your office with a 6 mm solid central nodule in the left lower lobe of the lung found incidentally after a trauma. It has regular borders and central calcifications. There is no prior imaging. What is the next best step in the management of this mass?

65 yo male smoker is referred to your office with a new mass in the right lung. Which of the following characteristics is most predictive of a malignant etiology?

A 65-year-old male smoker is referred to your office with a new mass in the right lower lobe of the lung. One week ago a CT showed the 4 cm mass. His clinic CXR from today shows an 8 cm mass in the same location as well as areas of consolidation in both lungs. He attests to ongoing cough and fever. He also has enlarged mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes. What is the best next step in the management of this mass?

A 58-year-old male smoker is referred to your office with a cough that has bothered him for the last few months and has not responded to antibiotics and steroids. CT scan is suggestive of an endobronchial lesion. On bronchoscopy you discover a fleshy, wide-based lesion in the right upper lobe bronchus extending slightly into the bronchus intermedius. You remove 90% of the mass using biopsy forceps and the pathology comes back squamous cell carcinoma in situ, without evidence of an invasive component. What is the next step in the care of this patient?
