Cryotherapy has been used in treatment of lung cancer for decades. The utility of cryotechnology in diagnosis of lung diseases is emerging and gaining popularity. Cryobiopsy (CB) of the lung, when compared with conventional transbronchial forceps lung biopsy, has proposed to have a higher diagnostic yield in interstitial lung disease by providing larger biopsy specimen and less crush artifact. Acute exacerbation of interstitial lung disease (AEILD) has been well described with surgical lung biopsies and, rarely, with conventional transbronchial forceps biopsy. The incidence of AEILD after CB is not known. Here we are presenting a case of AEILD after CB.
几十年来，冷冻疗法一直用于肺癌的治疗。冷冻技术在肺部疾病诊断中的应用正在兴起并日益受到关注。与传统的经支气管钳取肺活检相比，经支气管冷冻肺活检（CB）通过提供更大的活检标本和更少的挤压伪像，被认为在间质性肺疾病中具有更高的诊断率。间质性肺疾病急性加重（AEILD）在外科肺活检中已有详细描述，而在传统经支气管钳取活检中则很少见。CB后AEILD的发生率尚不清楚。在此，我们报告一例CB后发生AEILD的病例。
