Abstract
Diseases of cartilaginous (large) and noncartilaginous (small) airways include various nonspecific inflammatory and destructive lesions. The diagnoses of these diseases are usually made clinically and rarely require biopsy. However, histologic abnormalities involving the airways are commonly encountered in lung biopsies, lobectomy specimens, lung explants, and autopsies, either as primary diagnoses or as secondary findings in other conditions. Table 5.1 lists the major disease categories discussed in this chapter.
