ABSTRACT

La combinación de fibrosis pulmonar y enfisema es un síndrome descripto en los últimos años que tiene características propias y no es la casual asociación de dos entidades. El componente de fibrosis más común corresponde a la fibrosis pulmonar idiopática. Sin embargo, otras enfermedades intersticiales pueden formar parte de este síndrome, entre ellas las asociadas a enfermedades del tejido conectivo. Se presenta un caso de este síndrome asociado a artritis reumatoidea con la particularidad que la misma se hizo evidente varios años después del síndrome combinado fibrosis pulmonar y enfisema, hecho muy poco comunicado en la literatura.


The combination of pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema is a syndrome described in the last years, which has its own characteristics and it is not only the casual association between the two entities. The idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is the most common type of pulmonary fibrosis. However other interstitial lung diseases could be part of this syndrome. Among them is the connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease. We report a case of this syndrome associated with rheumatoid arthritis. It has the peculiarity that the connective disease became overt several years after the presentation of combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema syndrome, which is infrequently reported in the literature.
