Exogenous lipoid pneumonia

A type of lipoid pneumonia in which the source of the lipids is external to the body. Endogenous lipoid pneumonia is a histopathologic diagnosis made on the basis of the characteristic appearance of the obstructive pneumonitis. Macroscopically, there is parenchymal consolidation that has a characteristic yellowish discoloration due to the accumulation of lipid in the alveoli. Histologically, there is an accumulation of lipid-filled macrophages and eosinophilic proteinaceous material derived from degenerating cells, including surfactant from type II pneumocytes, in the alveoli distal to the bronchial obstruction.
