Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by joint involvement with inflammation of the synovium and destruction of articular cartilage. Pulmonary involvement is one of the extraarticular affectations and may be the first manifestation in patients. We present a 63-year-old man who began with respiratory symptoms with a joint involvement, being diagnosed with interstitial lung disease secondary to rheumatoid arthritis.
