More awareness of DIPNECH is needed among pulmonary clinicians. Apart from the usual presentation of cough with lung nodules and spirometric obstruction in women, patients also present with dyspnea and/or restrictive patterns on PFTs. Variability in diagnosis and management is widespread. Multidisciplinary assessment is helpful in guiding management. Multicenter and multispecialty collaboration is needed to establish best practices and improve clinical management.
