Procedure diagnostiche invasive nelle malattie infiltrative diffuse del polmone

Venerino Poletti 2, Gianluca Casoni 2
PMCID: PMC7121372

Estratto

Le malattie polmonari che, già all’esordio clinico e/o nel loro decorso, coinvolgono più di un lobo e caratterizzate dall’accumulo od infiltrazione nel lobulo polmonare secondario di sostanze o cellule non normalmente presenti in tale sede o presenti, comunque, in quantità anomala, possono essere definite con il termine di pneumopatie infiltrative diffuse (PID) [1].
