67 year old male , non smoker , no DM, no HT , presented with progressive exertional dyspnoea , moderate restriction and hypoxia at rest, needed steroids to stabilize , stabilized steroids tapered and lung biopsy done
( He had similar episode about 18 months ago ).Looking at radiological pattern what can be predicted as histopath type.?
Dominent pattern is ground glass opacification and there is not much honeycombing. This is likely to be a non UIP disease.
