Although the histopathological findings are also non-diagnostic, based on prior reports and studies, the possibility of diagnosis is significantly increased if the alveolar macrophages have a foamy appearance, as confirmed by cytology, along with the patient' s clinical history 8 . The alveolar macrophages finally had a foamy appearance that was revealed by cytology with increased lymphocytes and eosinophils on cellular profile of BAL fluid. Thereafter, after discontinuing rosuvastatin and initiating steroid therapy, the patient' s symptoms and radiologic findings had improved. Therefore, to our knowledge, our patient was the first diagnosed with rosuvastatin-induced interstitial lung disease in Korea. We believe a foamy macrophage appearance could help in the diagnosis of SILI, coupled with the clinical symptoms and radiologic findings, and clinicians should consider the potential for rosuvastatin-induced lung injury.	./cache/cord-315948-o4uj3l8r.txt	./txt/cord-315948-o4uj3l8r.txt
