Non-specific interstitial pneumonia, abbreviated NSIP, is an uncommon type of diffuse lung disease.

General

  • Better prognosis than UIP.
  • May respond to corticosteroids.[1]
  • Some radiologists and pathologists don't believe in this entity.[citation needed]

Associations:[2]

Note:

  • If no underlying cause is present it is known as idiopathic NSIP.

Clinical features (typical) of the idiopathic form:[4]

  • Middle-aged, never-smoker women.
  • Dyspnea.
  • Cough.
  • Ground glass on HRCT.
  • Very good prognosis.

Gross/Radiology

  • No honeycombing.
  • Fibrosis usually lower lung zone.
  • Patchy ground glass.

Microscopic

Features:[2]

  • Diffuse fibrosis:
    • Uniform fibrosis (unlike UIP).
    • "Linear fibrosis" has a good prognosis - should be mentioned in the report.
      • Linear fibrosis = fibrosis that follows alveolar walls + no architectural distortion.
  • +/-Lymphoid nodules - association with collagen vascular disease. (???)
  • +/-Focal organizing pneumonia.

Notes:

  • Inflammation in NSIP usually more prominent than in UIP.
  • No honeycombing - key difference between UIP and NSIP.
