A diagnosis support apparatus includes a storage unit which stores pieces of image feature information and finding sentences as interpretation results in correspondence with each other. This apparatus acquires image feature information of a target area designated on an image to be interpreted, searches the storage unit for image feature information similar to the acquired image feature information, acquires a finding sentence stored in correspondence with the retrieved image feature information from the storage unit, and creates a finding sentence concerning interpretation of the designated target area by changing a description of the acquired finding sentence based on image feature information of the designated target area.
