Abstract

Diffuse, nonneoplastic lung diseases are a large and heterogeneous group of disorders with overlapping clinical features, usually including breathlessness and cough; diffuse radiologic abnormalities are also common. Affected patients frequently have evidence of physiologic dysfunction and defective oxygenation. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scans play an increasingly important role in diagnosis of the conditions included in this category, but lung biopsy is still an essential step in the diagnostic algorithm for many of these conditions.
