Systemic sclerosis and idiopathic interstitial pneumonia: histomorphometric differences in lung biopsies Esclerose sistêmica e pneumonia intersticial idiopática: diferenças histomorfométricas em biópsias pulmonares

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine the parenchymal and extracellular matrix remodeling process in two histologic patterns-nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) and usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP)-in cases of idiopathic and sclerosis/systemic sclerosis (SSc)-associated interstitia...
