Abstract:
:We present the case of a 63-year-old woman chronic smoker with a history of severe rheumatoid arthritis, who presented with dyspnea and cough. Her chest x-ray film and CT scan (as part of a PET/CT scan) showed multiple lung nodules and a left pleural effusion. A PET scan (as part of a PET/CT scan) revealed no uptake in the larger lung nodules and intense left pleural uptake. The findings favored rheumatoid lung disease with rheumatoid pleural involvement, but malignant involvement was not excluded. A CT-guided lung and pleural biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of rheumatoid lung disease. On the basis of these findings, the patient was put on immunomodulators and responded to treatment.
