Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonias - Myers
“Nonspecific interstitial pneumonia must be separated from the three main forms of
idiopathic interstitial pneumonia because of better prognosis and
different treatment options.”
“Sixty-four cases of interstitial pneumonia were identified that could not be classified into one of the three main categories of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia.”

“It should not be considered a specific disease, however,
because it may have varying etiologies . . .; less often it may
reflect a nonrepresentative biopsy of another process.”

• temporally uniform without architectural

• lacking other features (e.g. granulomas,

• the HRCT showed a pattern consistent with NSIP and not diagnostic of other entities such as UIP or chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis; and

A subset (majority?) of patients with SLBx
diagnoses of UIP/IPF will have an “NSIP-
pattern” on HRCT.
A subset of patients (minority) with UIP/IPF
will have SLBx diagnoses of NSIP (“pattern”)
as a consequence of sampling bias.
Therefore, a subset of patients with
UIP/IPF will be diagnosed as idiopathic
NSIP even after multidisciplinary review.
