Resumen

La fibroelastosis pleuropulmonar (FEPP) es una enfermedad poco frecuente dentro del espectro de las enfermedades pulmonares intersticiales difusas (EPI). Se clasifica como una neumonía intersticial idiopática rara, según la American Thoracic Society (ATS) y la European Respiratory Society (ERS).  Histológicamente, se caracteriza por fibrosis de la pleura visceral asociada a cambios fibroelásticos en el parénquima pulmonar subpleural, con predominio en lóbulos superiores. Su incidencia real es desconocida, probablemente debido al subdiagnóstico y a la ausencia de criterios diagnósticos estandarizados. En este trabajo se reportan dos casos de FEPP en fase avanzada diagnosticados en un centro de Montevideo, Uruguay. Esta entidad representa un desafío diagnóstico y su reconocimiento oportuno es fundamental ya que podría ser más prevalente de lo que se percibe. Debe sospecharse ante pacientes con engrosamiento pleural asociado a compromiso intersticial de lóbulos superiores, lo cual justifica su pronta derivación a centros especializados. Dado su comportamiento progresivo, impacto negativo en la calidad de vida y elevada mortalidad, el tratamiento de la FEPP continúa siendo el principal desafío de esta entidad.
