Abstract
Nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) is one of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias. NSIP is characterized by non-specific clinical, radiologic, and morphological patterns; thereby, multidisciplinary approach is most reasonable to diagnose NSIP. A clinical case of NSIP is reported in the article. The case demonstrated that the multi-slice computed tomography of the lungs is more valuable to diagnose NSIP compared to the lung tissue biopsy, as typical morphological signs are absent. The multidisciplinary approach was also very useful in this case.
