Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 50 años, fumadora, con artritis reumatoide seropositiva (FR y CCP) de 11 años de evolución en tratamiento con triple terapia, y aparición de nódulos pulmonares con diagnóstico final de histiocitosis de células de Langerhans por biopsia pulmonar. No hemos encontrado casos descritos de la coexistencia de ambas enfermedades. La abstinencia tabáquica llevó a la resolución radiológica sin necesidad de modificar la terapia inmunosupresora (AU)
We report the case of a 50-year-old female smoker with an 11-year history of seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (rheumatoid factor and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies) receiving triple therapy. She developed pulmonary nodules diagnosed as Langerhans cell histiocytosis by lung biopsy. We found no reported cases of the coexistence of these two diseases. Smoking abstinence led to radiologic resolution without modifying the immunosuppressive therapy (AU)

We report the case of a 50-year-old female smoker with an 11-year history of seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (rheumatoid factor and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies) receiving triple therapy. She developed pulmonary nodules diagnosed as Langerhans cell histiocytosis by lung biopsy. We found no reported cases of the coexistence of these two diseases. Smoking abstinence led to radiologic resolution without modifying the immunosuppressive therapy.
