This book is not just a compilation of ILD cases – it is a living archive of questions, insights, and collective clinical wisdom.

What began as the Pan – India ILD Multidisciplinary Meeting (MDM) series has grown into a national platform that brings together some of the brightest pulmonologists, radiologists, and pathologists in the country. Each session has offered more than just a diagnosis – it has offered perspective, debate, and sometimes. the courage to say “we don’t know – yet.”

The cases featured in this book are real-world, unfiltered, and often complex. They mirror the diagnostic dilemmas and therapeutic grey zones we all face in clinical practice – making this book deeply relevant for everyone.

Postgraduates will find here a goldmine of structured clinical reasoning, classical imaging patterns, and disease mimics.

Fellows physicians and specialists will gain insight into decision – making nuances that go beyond textbooks.

Senior physicians and specialists will recognize rare patterns, validate their instincts and discover how peers across the country are approaching similar challenges.

Each case is enriched with high – resolution CT image to hone rediological pattern recognition and followed by a QR code linked to the actual MDM video, enabling the reader to watch and listen to the multidisciplinary debate that unfolded. It’s more than reading – it’s experiencing the case through expert eyes.
