How is Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) Identified Histologically?
Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) encompasses a group of disorders characterized by progressive scarring of lung tissue. Histologically, ILD shows thickening of the alveolar walls due to fibrosis, presence of fibroblastic foci, and accumulation of inflammatory cells. The architectural distortion of lung parenchyma and honeycombing are key features in advanced stages.
