Desquamative interstitial pneumonia is a form of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia featuring elevated levels of macrophages.

Its name is derived from the former belief that these macrophages were pneumocytes that had desquamated.[1]

It is associated with patients with a history of smoking.[2]

Treatment with methylprednisolone has been reported.[3]
