“…The LIP pattern could be found in a broad range of clinical settings, including Legionella pneumonia and CTD-ILD (i.e., Sjögren's Syndrome, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus), or associated with other systemic diseases (i.e., Hashimoto's Disease, Pernicious Anemia, Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia, Primary Biliary Cirrhosis, Chronic Active Hepatitis, Myasthenia Gravis, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Infection especially in children, Common Variable Immunodeficiency). Idiopathic cases are extremely rare [136][137][138][139][140][141][142][143][144][145][146][147]. A diffuse and dense cellular chronic interstitial infiltrate with a primarily alveolar septal distribution, composed of a mixture of mature plasma cells and polyclonal lymphocytes in varying proportions, is the histological hallmark of the LIP pattern (Figure 2F).…”

Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonias (IIPs) are a heterogeneous group of the broader category of Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILDs), pathologically characterized by the distortion of lung parenchyma by interstitial inflammation and/or fibrosis. The American Thoracic Society (ATS)/European Respiratory Society (ERS) international multidisciplinary consensus classification of the IIPs was published in 2002 and then updated in 2013, with the authors emphasizing the need for a multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis of IIPs. The histological evaluation of IIPs is challenging, and different types of IIPs are classically associated with specific histopathological patterns. However, morphological overlaps can be observed, and the same histopathological features can be seen in totally different clinical settings. Therefore, the pathologist’s aim is to recognize the pathologic–morphologic pattern of disease in this clinical setting, and only after multi-disciplinary evaluation, if there is concordance between clinical and radiological findings, a definitive diagnosis of specific IIP can be established, allowing the optimal clinical–therapeutic management of the patient.
