Interstitial inflammation consists of an alveolar septal infiltrate of lymphocytes, plasma cells, and histiocytes associated with hyperplasia of type II pneumocytes.
UIP should also be differentiated from desquamative interstitial pneumonia, respiratory bronchiolitis-associated interstitial lung disease, nonclassifiable or nonspecific chronic interstitial pneumonias, idiopathic bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and pulmonary eosinophilic granuloma.
The diagnosis of IPF (and many other interstitial lung diseases) generally requires open or video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) lung biopsy because the amount of tissue obtained by transbronchial biopsy is usually insufficient.
