AB Interstitial  lung  disease  (ILD)  is  a  heterogenous  group  of  inflammatory  and  scarring  conditions  of  the  lung.  Idiopathic  pulmonary  fibrosis  (IPF)  is  a  distinct  form  of  ILD  and  represents  a  specific  clinical  entity  defined  by  a  constellation  of  clinical,  radiographic,  and  pathophysiologic  features.  Other  forms  of  cryptogenic  ILD  that  do  not  fit  into  the  diagnostic  criteria  for  IPF  are  referred  to  as  “unclassifiable”  ILD,  although  some  may,  in  fact,  show  a  clinical  trajectory  that  matches  IPF.
