Lymphoid Interstitial Pneumonia Without Known Cause: Diagnostic Work Up and Differential Considerations
We present a case of diffuse cystic lung disease without any known underlying systemic disorder, biopsy confirmed as lymphoid interstitial pneumonia (LIP). This case highlights the benefit of histological confirmation in cases of diagnostic uncertainty if the clinical situation permits, particularly in the setting of symptomatic deterioration.
