Abstract

The causal relationship between cigarette smoking and a number of interstitial lung diseases continues to evolve. These "smoking-related interstitial lung diseases" (SR-ILD) are a heterogeneous group of entities which have overlapping imaging findings and which can coexist. The presented case of a patient with smoking history and pulmonary ground-glass opacities demonstrates that thorough knowledge of the various manifestations of SR-ILD is essential for a confident diagnosis.
