Lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia (abbreviated LIP), also known as lymphoid interstitial pneumonia and lymphocytic interstitial pneumonitis, is an uncommon diffuse lung disease.
General
- Associated with autoimmune disorders (rheumatoid arthritis, pernicious anemia, Sjoegren syndrome)[1] and immunodeficiency.[2]
- Associated with viral infections (HIV, EBV, human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV) type 1).
- Considered an AIDS-defining diagnosis.[3]
 
Gross
- Location: basilar predominance.
- Increased interstitial markings.
Microscopic
Features:[4]
- Small mature lymphocytes (usually B cells)[5] in the interstitium of the lung.
- Plasma cells.
- +/-Lymphoid follicles.
Negatives:
- No vasculitis.
- No necrosis.
DDx:
- Lymphoma.
- Follicular bronchitis/bronchiolitis.
- Nodular lymphoid hyperplasia.
- This is determined in part by radiology; it has nodules radiographically.
 
- Non-specific interstitial pneumonia - less inflammation.

Stains
To exclude infection:[6]
- GMS stain -ve.
- Ziehl-Neelsen stain -ve.
IHC
- May be done to exclude lymphoma.
