Interstitial lung diseases represent a very heterogeneous group of diseases mainly affecting connective lung tissue even if alveolar space may sometimes be involved. The identification of their etiology is the key stage in their management. It requires the integration of anamnestic, clinical, biological, radiological data and, sometimes relies on, cytology or histology. In this review, we assess the contribution and feasibility of the different invasive techniques used for interstitial lung disease diagnosis. In particular we focus on the yield of lung endoscopy in casting light on the multidisciplinary confrontation, which is the gold standard of the interstitial lung disease care management.

D004724 Endoscopy Procedures of applying ENDOSCOPES for disease diagnosis and treatment. Endoscopy involves passing an optical instrument through a small incision in the skin i.e., percutaneous; or through a natural orifice and along natural body pathways such as the digestive tract; and/or through an incision in the wall of a tubular structure or organ, i.e. transluminal, to examine or perform surgery on the interior parts of the body.

D017563 Lung Diseases, Interstitial A diverse group of lung diseases that affect the lung parenchyma. They are characterized by an initial inflammation of PULMONARY ALVEOLI that extends to the interstitium and beyond leading to diffuse PULMONARY FIBROSIS. Interstitial lung diseases are classified by their etiology (known or unknown causes), and radiological-pathological features.
