Imaging findings
Extensive ground glass opacity is present, progressing over time, with some degree of fibrosis, traction bronchiectasis, and reticulation. Fine areas of printable cystic change are noted, but not true honeycombing.
Key takeaways
Desquamative Interstitial Pneumonia (DIP) is a smoking-related interstitial lung disease that typically presents with ground glass opacities and fine cystic changes. It often progresses to fibrosis and may be underdiagnosed due to asymptomatic presentation, requiring biopsy for definitive diagnosis.
