摘要
Giant cell interstitial pneumonia (GIP) is a very rare chronic interstitial pneumonia caused byexposure to metal compounds such as cobalt or tungsten carbide. Although GIP was included in an original framework for the histologic classification of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias by Liebow and Carrington in 1969, GIP is currently considered a form of pneumoconiosis. In GIP, the interstitium and alveolar walls are thickened by mononuclear cells,
