Abstract EN
Cigarette smoking has been implicated in the development of some uncommon respiratory interstitial diseases.
Desquamative interstitial pneumonia and respiratory bronchiolitis-associated interstitial lung diseases are characterized by a diffuse alveolar and peribronchiolar filling with macrophages, respectively.
Pulmonary Langerhans' cell histiocytosis is a rare interstitial lung disorder characterized by the proliferation of Langerhans' cell forming interstitial infiltrates and nodules that could progress to cavitary nodules.
The treatment of these disorders involves smoking cessation and sometimes the use of steroids.
High-resolution computed tomography is essential for the characterization of these smoking-related interstitial lung diseases, but frequently it is necessary to create a workgroup composed by pulmonologists, pathologists, and radiologists to diagnosis and treat patients affected with these pathologies.
