However, occasionally diagnostic biopsies can demonstrate unexpected findings that may lead to a misleading diagnosis and clinical confusion. Here we present the case of a 70-year-old Taiwanese man with a light smoking history (10-20\u2009pack years), emphysema, and childhood-treated tuberculosis who presented with a part-solid nodule that was diagnosed as a very rare case of adenocarcinoma of the lung with\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">desquamative interstitial pneumonia<\/jats:italic>\n                    (DIP)-like microscopic morphology. DIP is a non-neoplastic interstitial lung disease which presents as a diffuse and bilateral process and primarily occurs in smokers. When the morphologic pattern of DIP presents as a focal process, usually around bronchioles, it is labeled\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">respiratory bronchiolitis<\/jats:italic>\n                    .

We describe this case to help educate and guide pathologists on the existence of this very rare entity and to consider performing lung cancer immunohistochemical markers whenever faced with this unexpected histological pattern in a pulmonary nodule.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/11795476261416241","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,19]],"date-time":"2026-02-19T08:56:03Z","timestamp":1771491363000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["DIP-like Adenocarcinoma Presenting as a Part-Solid Nodule: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-5379-431X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Natalia","family":"Brar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Southern California, Dornsife College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences, Los Angeles, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3957-6106","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Robert","family":"Hsu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Division of Medical Oncology, University of Southern California, Keck School of Medicine, Los Angeles, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9850-9723","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"William D.","family":"Wallace","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, University of Southern California, Keck School of Medicine, Los Angeles, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-9150-1416","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ching-Fei","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care, University of Southern California, Keck School of Medicine, Los Angeles, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PAS.0000000000000227"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1066896917729436"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","unstructured":"Laura L Maritess D Christina K Khode R.
