Editorial Comment: UIP is characterized by a spatially and temporally heterogeneous pattern of fibrosis, predominantly in the lower lobes, subpleural regions, and peripheral lung zones. The presence of honeycombing, architectural distortion, and reticulation suggests advanced disease. The asymmetric nature of fibrosis in this case, with a dominant right-sided involvement, highlights potential variability in disease progression or co-existing contributing factors.

84-year-old man presenting with dyspnea
Axial CT at the lung bases demonstrates asymmetric fibrotic changes, right worse than left, with peripheral honeycombing at the right base. At the left base there is subpleural arching fibrosis as a result of thickening of interlobular septa along with reticulations and architectural distortion. These findings are characteristic of Usual Interstitial Pneumonia (UIP), consistent with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF).

Artistic rendering of the CT of an 84 year old man s demonstrates asymmetric fibrotic changes, right worse than left, with peripheral honeycombing on the left . On the right base there is subpleural arching . These findings are characteristic of Usual Interstitial Pneumonia (UIP), consistent with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF).

In patients with interstitial lung disease, the inflammatory process and interstitial fibrotic disease progresses and the walls between the alveoli are destroyed causing large subpleural, variably sized, subpleural, thick walled, stacked, cystic spaces . The appearance is reminiscent of a honeycomb and indicates end stage fibrosis
