Pulmonary Vasculitides

Diseases of the Arterial Wall

Abstract

In this chapter, discussion will revolve around the vasculitides which specifically affect the lung, or in which there is major lung involvement. Since several of them also have a granulomatous component, the angiitides and granulomatoses may be considered to be one group. Their diagnosis is a problem for the clinician in a patient presenting with multiple nodules or infiltrates in the lung, with or without systemic involvement and for the pathologist who must make a diagnosis on a histological section of the lung. Close collaboration between these two physicians is required to arrive at the specific diagnosis upon which therapy depends so heavily.
