Background: Anti-synthetase syndrome associated interstitial lung disease can occur either simultaneously, before, or after the development of polymyositis/dermatomyositis. Histology of interstitial lung disease can be nonspecific interstitial pneumonia, usual interstitial pneumonia, diffuse alveolar damage, organizing pneumonia. Organizing pneumonia associated anti-synthetase syndrome is a rare finding especially as the first manifestation. Case presentation: We report a 41 year old male patient who presented with organizing pneumonia and 2 years following the onset, developed polymyositis with anti-JO-1 antibody positivity. Conclusion: It is important to screen patients with organizing pneumonia for anti-synthetase syndrome which can be manifested later. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
