"Pulmonary Interstitial Glycogenosis: Diagnostic Evaluation and Clinical Course," written by Liptzin et al is a timely and insightful phenotypic summary of a rare pediatric interstitial lung disease. Twenty-four infants with biopsy-proven pulmonary interstitial glycogenosis (PIG) were reviewed at their center. Genetic analysis, bronchoscopy results, imaging, biopsy, and cardiology findings were described, and treatment decision and clinical outcomes were discussed.
