There are some prominent vessels. There is new fresh fibroblastic proliferation, and other areas of honeycombing with old fibrosis predominantly interstitial. There is some nodularity. Focally, the fibrosis may arise in subpleural region. Bronchioles overall are within normal limits. No tumor or granuloma. Focal giant cells seen in part A, possibly foreign body reaction. DIAGNOSIS A, B: Portion of lung, wedge biopsy: * Acute inflammation with organizing pneumonia, possibly infectious etiology; recommend correlation with culture. * Interstitial fibrosis with areas of honeycomb lung, nonspecific vs. UIP.
