Abstract
Surgical lung biopsy is a safe and accurate diagnostic tool for diffuse pulmonary disease. For a large proportion of the patients, change of therapy and then clinical improvement can be achieved after surgical lung biopsy. Surgical lung biopsy should be considered earlier in patients with undiagnosed diffuse pulmonary disease, especially when the respiratory condition is deteriorating.
