Entry term(s) alveolitis fibrosante criptogenética
alveolitis fibrosante criptogénica
alveolitis fibrosante criptógena
Scope note: Neumopatía intersticial común de etiología desconocida que generalmente ocurre entre los 50 a 70 años de edad. Clínicamente se caracteriza por un comienzo insidioso de falta de aliento con el ejercicio y una tos no productiva, que da lugar a una DISNEA progresiva. El estudio histopatológico muestra escasa inflamación intersticial, fibrosis colágena parcheada, focos prominentes de proliferación de fibroblastos y cambios microscópicos con patrones en panal de abeja.

Scope note: A common interstitial lung disease of unknown etiology, usually occurring between 50-70 years of age. Clinically, it is characterized by an insidious onset of breathlessness with exertion and a nonproductive cough, leading to progressive DYSPNEA. Pathological features show scant interstitial inflammation, patchy collagen fibrosis, prominent fibroblast proliferation foci, and microscopic honeycomb change.
