From the case:
Pulmonary fibrosis - UIP pattern
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/26623/annotated_viewer_json?lang=us"}
Extensive honeycombing throughout both lungs in a subpleural and basal distribution with consequential tractional bronchiectasis.
Case Discussion
This case of severe pulmonary fibrosis demonstrates extensive honeycombing of the lungs in a definite UIP pattern.
The potential causes of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) are long, with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis being the most common.
