Although the prognosis for NSIP is better than IPF, the life expectancy is still only 7 to 10 years. Sarcoidosis often follows a benign course without symptoms or long-term consequences and may spontaneously resolve.

ANS: C

Unilateral or less commonly bilateral chylothorax is seen in approxi-mately one-third of patients. This results from lymphatic obstruction by abnormal smooth muscle tissue.
