Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive, often fatal form of interstitial lung disease (ILD) characterized by the absence of a known cause and usual interstitial pneumonitis (UIP) pattern on chest CT imaging and/or histopathology. Distinguishing UIP/IPF from other ILD subtypes is essential given different treatments and prognosis. Lung biopsy is necessary when noninvasive data are insufficient to render a confident diagnosis.
