Overview
The exact pathogenesis of [disease name] is not fully understood.
OR
It is thought that [disease name] is the result of / is mediated by / is produced by / is caused by either [hypothesis 1], [hypothesis 2], or [hypothesis 3].
OR
[Pathogen name] is usually transmitted via the [transmission route] route to the human host.
OR
Following transmission/ingestion, the [pathogen] uses the [entry site] to invade the [cell name] cell.
OR
[Disease or malignancy name] arises from [cell name]s, which are [cell type] cells that are normally involved in [function of cells].
OR
The progression to [disease name] usually involves the [molecular pathway].
OR
The pathophysiology of [disease/malignancy] depends on the histological subtype.
Pathophysiology
Exogenous lipoid pneumonia
- It is understood that exogenus lipoid pneumonia is the result of chronic body reaction to fatty substance in the alveoli[1].
- Lipid reaches alveoli by aspiration or inhalation.
- Some mineral oils can cause lung injuries such as gasoline[2].
- Mineral oils can enter the tracheobronchial tree without causing cough reflex which will bother mucociliary transport system chronically.
- Injected lipids mechanism of further producing lipid pneumonia is more complicated:
- It is suggested that the lung is the first capillary bed encountered during circulation, bearing the majority of damage.
- as the lipid goes inside the alveoli, it is trapped and hard to expectorate, this condition may be worsen by associated neurological and gastrointestinal disorders affecting swallowing or cough.
- Lipids in alveoli form emulsion and then consumed by macrophages via phagocytosis.
- Since the alveolar macrophages cannot metabolize consumed fatty substance, oil is repeatedly released into alveoli after death of these macrophages.
- The oil released, illicits a giant-cell granulomatosis reaction.
- In fresh lesions, lipid-laden macrophages are seen.
- In advanced lesions larger vacuoles and inflamatory infiltrates are seen in alveolar and bronchial walls and septa.
- In oldest lesions fibrosis and parenchymal destruction around large lipid-containing vacuoles is seen.
- Staining can help demonestrating whether vacuoles are filled with lipid or not:
- Oil red O
- Sudan black
Endogenous lipoid pneumonia
- The pathogenesis of endogenous lipoid pneumonia is still not well understood however there are plenty of suggested mechanisms:[3][4][5].
- Most proven mechanisms are :
- Retained epithelial secretion
- Cell breakdown
- Leakage from vessels
- Prolonged hypoxia
- Local oxygen and carbon dioxide tension.
- Endogenous lipoid pneumonia can be caused by transbronchial dissemination of cancer cell breakdown products[6].
- Poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma cells secreting mucin is the most common neoplastic reason.
- Another mechanism suggested is anoxic tissue injury stimulating various enzymes such as phospholipase and mono-oxygenases[7][8][9].
- These enzymes activation in turn cause modification of LDL cholesterol, enhancing lipid uptake by alveolar macrophages similar to atherogenesis.
- Most proven mechanisms are :
- Infection changes to endogenous lipid pneumonia is generally localized in airways because the souronding lung is already consolidated, limiting the spread of bacteria[10].
Genetics
There is no genetic predisposition reported with lipoid pneumonia.
