Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: Diagnosis and treatment: International Consensus Statement
Many acute and chronic lung disorders with variable degrees of pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis are collectively referred to as interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) or diffuse parenchymal lung…
The histologic diagnosis of usual interstitial pneumonia of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Where we are and where we need to go
TLDR
The progressive history of the histologic diagnosis of UIP is reviewed and the current state of histologic UIP and its relationship to the clinical syndrome idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is summarized.

TLDR
Keys to distinguishing NSIP from UIP include absence of heterogeneous lung involvement, architectural distortion in the form of fibrotic scarring and/or honeycomb change, and fibroblast foci in NSIP.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: current understanding of the pathogenesis and the status of treatment
TLDR
High-resolution computed axial tomography demonstrates evidence of fibrosis and lung remodelling such as honeycomb cysts and traction bronchiectasis and lung transplantation improves survival.

TLDR
Keys to distinguishing NSIP from UIP include absence of heterogeneous lung involvement, architectural distortion in the form of fibrotic scarring and/or honeycomb change, and fibroblast foci in NSIP.
Overview of pulmonary fibrosis.
TLDR
A brief review examines the prevalence and classification of interstitial lung diseases, the approach to be taken for the investigation of a patient suspected of having pulmonary fibrosis, the indications for the performance of lung biopsy, and current thoughts concerning the pathogenesis of the idiopathic forms of fibrotic lung disease.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in adult respiratory distress syndrome. Diagnosis and treatment.
TLDR
Ten consecutive patients who presented initially with adult respiratory distress syndrome, and who did not respond to conventional treatment, underwent open lung biopsy early in the course of their illness and eight patients survived and have not required long-term corticosteroid therapy.
Nonspecific Interstitial Pneumonia/Fibrosis: Histologic Features and Clinical Significance
Sixty-four cases of interstitial pneumonia were identified that could not be classified into one of three main categories of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia. These cases, descriptively termed…
The concept of classic interstitial pneumonitis-fibrosis (CIP-F) as a clinicopathologic syndrome.
TLDR
The records of 81 patients with a roentgenologic pattern of diffuse reticulonodular pulmonary disease and a pathologic diagnosis of chronic interstitial pneumonitis and fibrosis were reviewed, and the most common features were characteristic dry rales, digital clubbing, and evidence of altered immune activity.
Prognostic significance of histopathologic subsets in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
TLDR
Retrospective analysis of 104 patients with IPF who had open lung biopsy at Mayo Medical Center from 1976 to 1985 was performed to establish the overall survival rate, the spectrum of histopathological subgroups and their associated prognostic significance.
Correlation of structure and function in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
TLDR
This study evaluated whether pulmonary function assessment would help distinguish between the cellular and fibrotic phases of this disorder, as determined by a semiquantitative pathology scoring system that comprised four factor scores: fibrosis, cellularity, granulation/connective tissue, and desquamation.
Rapidly fatal pulmonary fibrosis: the accelerated variant of interstitial pneumonitis.
TLDR
A retrospective review of cases of interstitial lung disease showed 12 recent deaths from Hamman-Rich syndrome, and one patient showed disappearance of immunofluorescence as fibrosis advanced, which has not previously been reported.

Respiratory bronchiolitis causing interstitial lung disease. A clinicopathologic study of six cases.
TLDR
6 patients with chronic interstitial lung disease in whom open lung biopsies showed respiratory bronchiolitis were described, and all patients have remained stable or improved after a mean follow-up of 3.2 yr.
Interstitial pulmonary fibrosis with and without associated collagen vascular disease: results of a two year follow up.
TLDR
Unlike the patients with AIPF, those with LIPF showed a deterioration in lung function and developed further restrictive impairment and poorer gas exchange, which has implications in their clinical management.
