Abstract

Lymphoid interstitial pneumonia is an uncommon idiopathic interstitial lung disease. It is generally difficult to diagnose, although the radiological and histopathological findings are determinant. Usually appears in association with variable common immunodeficiency, human immunodeficiency virus and autoimmune diseases like Sjögren syndrome or lupus. The aim of this paper is to report a rare lymphoid interstitial pneumonia case, due to its unusual radiological presentation, confirmed by pulmonary biopsy and associated with variable common immunodeficiency.
