Abstract

Idiopathic dendriform pulmonary ossification (IDPO) presents as dendritic ossification of the lungs without a particular cause. IDPO is often diagnosed using surgical biopsy, transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB), or transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC). In this case report, we described a 36-year-old male who presented with abnormal chest findings radiographically. TBLB was performed but no diagnosis was made. Instead, IDPO was diagnosed following a surgical biopsy. CT tomography and respiratory function tests showed no progression over the past 3.5 years. However, a nationwide survey in Japan revealed several cases of disease progression. Considering this, careful monitoring of the disease is recommended.

仅在手术活检后诊断的特发性树突状肺骨化：1例报告

特发性树突状肺骨化（IDPO）表现为肺部的树突状骨化，没有特定的原因。IDPO通常通过手术活检、经支气管肺活检（TBLB）或经支气管肺低温活检（TBLC）诊断。在这个病例报告中，我们描述了一位36岁的男性，他的胸部x线检查结果异常。行TBLB，但未作诊断。相反，IDPO是在手术活检后诊断出来的。CT断层扫描和呼吸功能检查显示在过去的3.5年中没有进展。然而，日本的一项全国性调查显示，有几例疾病进展。考虑到这一点，建议对该病进行仔细监测。
