This review article summarizes the pathological, clinical and radiological manifestations of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias. These include usual interstitial pneumonia, organising pneumonia and others. Clinical findings are nonspecific and need to be interpreted together with the pathological, radiographic and computed tomography findings as well as lung function tests. The characteristic imaging of some diseases are presented.
