Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a heterogeneous group of inflammatory and fibrotic lung disorders that damage the lung parenchyma and cause dyspnea, functional limitation, and premature death. Some patients cannot be provided with a confident specific ILD diagnosis despite an exhaustive search for potential etiologies and a multidisciplinary review and consequently are labelled with unclassifiable ILD. Patients with unclassifiable ILD are frequently included in clinical studies, however these patients are not well characterized and there is no systematic review summarizing the current evidence on so far.
