Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP), or noninfectious pneumonia[1] are a class of diffuse lung diseases. These diseases typically affect the pulmonary interstitium, although some also have a component affecting the airways (for instance, cryptogenic organizing pneumonitis). There are seven recognized distinct subtypes of IIP.[2]

Classification

Classification can be complex,[3] and the combined efforts of clinicians, radiologists, and pathologists can help in the generation of a more specific diagnosis.[4][5]

Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia can be subclassified based on histologic appearance into the following patterns:[6][7]

Histology Clinical Correlates
Desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP) DIP
Diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) ARDS, AIP, TRALI
Nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) NSIP
Respiratory bronchiolitis RB-ILD
Usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) CVD, IPF, drug toxicity, pneumoconiosis
Organizing pneumonia Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia
Lymphoid interstitial pneumonia (LIP) LIP

Usual interstitial pneumonia is the most common type.[8]

UIP=usual interstitial pneumonia; DAD=diffuse alveolar damage; NSIP=non-specific interstitial pneumonia; DIP=desquamative interstitial pneumonia; RB=respiratory bronchiolitis; BIP=bronchiolitis obliterans interstitial pneumonia; OP=organizing pneumonia; LIP=lymphoid interstitial pneumonia; LPD=lymphoproliferative disease (not considered a diffuse lung disease); GIP=giant cell interstitial pneumonia; HMF=heavy metal fibrosis, no longer grouped with diffuse lung disease

Lymphoid interstitial pneumonia was originally included in this category, then excluded, then included again.[10]
