Abstract

Respiratory bronchiolitis associated interstitial lung disease is a rare condition among current or ex-smokers, which has features consistent with interstitial lung disease. The presentations are non-specific, but symptoms generally include a cough and dyspnea on exertion, and its pathology is characterized by the accumulation of pigmented macrophages within the respiratory bronchioles and adjacent air spaces, and is associated with mild thickening of the peribronchiolar interstitium. Recently, the case of a 54-year-old woman passive smoker, diagnosed as having respiratory bronchiolitis associated interstitial lung disease, was experienced at our institution.
