Popis: Abstract Systemic sclerosis‐associated interstitial lung disease (SSc‐ILD) is a rare disease in the Asian population and might be overlooked in clinical practice. Early diagnosis is crucial to initiate treatment and to prevent disease progression. Chest high‐resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is the modality of choice for diagnosing and assessing this disorder. SSc‐ILD should be included in the list of differential diagnoses of ILD. Familiarity with HRCT findings and thorough clinical examination are crucial for diagnosis and treatment.
