Abstract
|
|
|
|
Overlap syndrome is a disease that combines major features of more than one rheumatic disease in the same patient. A 58 year-old female who was diagnosed as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) developed skin thickening and dyspnea. Clinical and laboratory findings revealed that she was affected by systemic sclerosis (SSc) and interstitial lung disease. Finally, she was diagnosed as overlap syndrome consistent with RA combined with SSc. The authors report a case of RA-SSc overlap syndrome with relevant literatures.
