Abstract EN
Familial interstitial lung disease (ILD) is defined as presence of ILD in 2 or more family members.
Surfactant protein C (SFTPC) gene mutations are rare, but well-known cause of familial ILD.
We reported a 20-year-old male, who was referred for lung transplantation.
He was symptomatic at age 3 and underwent surgical lung biopsy at age 6, which revealed a nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) pattern.
Genetic workup revealed a novel SFTPC mutation in the first intron with a C to A transversion.
At age 21, he underwent bilateral lung transplantation.
Explanted lung histology suggested NSIP.
In addition there was pulmonary neuroendocrine cell (PNEC) hyperplasia and carcinoid tumorlets.
His mother had undergone lung transplantation several years earlier, and her explanted lung showed similar pathology.
SFTPC mutations are inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern.
Various types of ILD have been associated with SFTPC mutation including NSIP, usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP), and desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP).
PNEC hyperplasia has been described to occur in association with lung inflammation but has not been previously described with familial ILD associated with SFTPC mutation.
