I had a bronchoscopy done and this was one of the results histiocytes with background scattered mixed inflammatory cells what does it mean?

it shows chronic inflammatory change probably due the atmosphere or smoking but no cancer. Good Luck

A more defined differential with percentages of cell types was most likely analyzed. The presence of a mixed pattern of inflammatory cells indicates inflammation associated with more than one cell type. Avoid smoke exposure, allergens and please follow up with your physician. A virtual consultation with Healthtap is available.
