AB  - Commonly,  interstitial  lung  disease  (ILD)  presents  with  dyspnea  on  exertion,  diffuse  bilateral  infiltrates  on  chest  imaging,  and  restriction  with  diffusion  impairment  on  physiologic  testing.  When  tissue  is  obtained,  the  lung  parenchyma  may  contain  any  combination  of  abnormalities,  including  inflammation,  fibrosis,  and  granulomas.  While  many  forms  of  ILD  are  extremely  rare,  there  are  some,  such  as  idiopathic  pulmonary  fibrosis  (IPF)  and  sarcoidosis  that  are  seen  commonly  in  general  pulmonary  practice.  Masqueraders  of  ILD  such  as  infection,  pulmonary  edema,  and  malignancy  will  be  encountered  in  the  assessment  of  an  abnormal  chest  radiograph,  and  distinguishing  these  from  true  ILD  is  crucial.
