Concept, clinical feature, pathological feature and differential diagnosis of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia and diffuse pan-bronchiolitis are discussed. Author expressed characteristic pathologic feature, but non-specificity of IIP. Diffuse pan-bronchiolitis shows very characteristic pathologic feature and seems to be specific.
