Acute fibrinous & organizing pneumonia (AFOP) Case 123

            Intra-alveolar fibrin masses undergoing organization
Acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia (AFOP) is a relatively rare form of acute or subacute lung injury. AFOP can be idiopathic or associated with a variety of underlying conditions including connective tissue diseases, drugs reactions, occupational exposures, immune system disorders, long-term steroid therapy, poorly controlled diabetes, alcoholism, lymphoma, and infections.  
Typical microscopic findings are the presence of large fibrin balls or masses in airspaces and foci of organizing pneumonia. The number of fibrin balls may be variable throughout the lesion. Absence of hyaline membranes distinguishes AFOP from DAD.
Patients with AFOP may present with an acute illness; mortality in these cases is high. Those who present with a subacute illness appear to have a better prognosis.
