Review of Morphological Changes in Regional Lymph Nodes in Pulmonary Fibrosis

Abstract

Interstitial lung pathology with various manifestations is currently of interest for discussion and the approach of new methods of prevention and treatment of certain types of pulmonary fibrosis. Of particular interest is the study of their clinical and morphological characteristics to identify different types of fibrotic processes occurring in the lungs. The division of pulmonary fibrosis into multiple forms in the histological classification is due to differences in the mechanisms of its occurrence and course. But changes in the lymph nodes in the fibrotic process of the lung tissue have been poorly studied. In the article, we tried to collect literary data on structural changes in regional lymph nodes that occur against the background of pulmonary fibrosis.
