  ABSTRACT: The interstitial pneumonia (IP) associated with myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (MPO-ANCA) showed characteristic histology dominated by usual IP pattern. We showed a 94-year-old woman, whose prognosis was poor by severity of IP by MPO-ANCA associated vasculitis. The median age at diagnosis of IP by MPO-ANCA associated vasculitis was over 60 years, with a male predominance. Most patients died related to respiratory insufficiency. Our case would be the oldest patient in IP by MPO-ANCA associated vasculitis in the literature.
