Idiopathic Lymphoid Interstitial Pneumonia (LIP) is considered to be a rare interstitial lung disease. The initial American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society (ATS/ERS) International multidisciplinary consensus paper on Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonia of 2002, LIP was classified as one of the seven major idiopathic interstitial lung diseases. Since the first description of LIP in 1969, so far only 14 biopsy proven cases of idiopathic LIP have been described in the literature. The clinical course is reported to be highly variable in this rare form of interstitial pneumonia.
