ABSTRACT
Desquamative interstitial pneumonia is an uncommon form of interstitial lung diseases and it has a good prognosis compared with other types of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia. A 69-year old man was admitted to our hospital because of a 3-month history of dyspnea. The patient presented with hypoxemia. High-resolution computerized tomography of the patient showed ground glass opacity and traction bronchiectasis with subpleural early honeycombing on the both lung fields. The pathologic findings of the video-assisted thoracoscopy lung biopsy were compatible with desquamative interstitial pneumonia, and irregularly distributed interstitial fibrosis and inflammation were observed at the peripheral parenchyme. Oral predinsolone was started; his symptoms and chest x-ray were improved, and so he stopped taking the prednisolone. Ten months later, the desquamative interstitial pneumonia recurred. We report here on a case of recurrent desquamative interstitial pneumonia with fibrotic lung disease.
