Abstract:
Erasmus' syndrome involves the association of systemic scleroderma and exposure to silica particles with or without silicosis. The authors report the observation of a miner with a history of professional silicosis resulting in pulmonary fibrosis. Twenty-five years later, the patient consulted for dysphagia associated with inflammatory arthralgia, cutaneous sclerosis extended to the face and limbs, sclerodactyly and Raynaud's phenomenon. The diagnosis of scleroderma was confirmed and Erasmus' syndrome was retained.
