Tomographic Findings of Lymphoid Interstitial Pneumonia in a Patient With Lupus
Lymphoid interstitial pneumonia is a rare entity that involves inflammation, often triggered by external factors or other diseases, and is part of a spectrum of interstitial lung abnormalities (included within non-lymphomatous pulmonary lymphoid disorders) in women between the fourth and seventh decades of life. Here, we present the case of a 62-year-old woman being followed up by the pulmonology and rheumatology service with a history of systemic lupus erythematosus at the Institute for Security and Social Services for State Workers Regional Hospital in Monterrey, Nuevo León.
