Case: Classic LIP

HIDE
PrevNext

0:01

So a lot of cysts within the lungs here

0:04

in a woman, as you can tell.

0:06

And as we scroll through, we notice

0:07

that there's more cysts in the lung bases than the upper

0:11

aspect of the lungs and para bronchovascular

0:15

subpleural in their distribution.

0:18

So this is a lot of cysts,

0:21

but not so many where I'm like, oh,

0:22

this is classic lymph a**l mitosis, right?

0:25

So, um, this is a case

0:26

where I would consider lymphocytic interstitial neuritis.

0:29

I consider bird hug debase syndrome

0:31

and consider lymphangitis mitosis.

0:33

But the bas of predominance really makes me think about

0:35

maybe LIP versus bird hug debate first.

0:38

And so in this case, I think you would be stuck

0:41

between bird hug debate

0:43

and lymphocytic interstitial neuritis.

0:45

There are a few ParaMed stensis,

0:48

but not enough for me to be confident.

0:49

This is Bird hug bay syndrome. And so what are we gonna do?

0:52

We're gonna discuss with our clinicians,

0:54

we're gonna dig into the history.

0:56

This patient a history of Sjogren's syndrome.

0:58

This is LIP, and this is the classic

1:00

and typical way that we achieve diagnosis in this patients

1:03

with Sjogren's system and LIP.

1:05

It's sort of thinking these things through trying

1:09

to figure out what the distributions are,

1:11

and then from that combining with the clinical information

1:13

to try to come down on these specific single diagnosis,

1:17

which we can do in the MDD setting.
