Abstract:
A 59 year-old female with a history of injection of an oily material in the buttocks 11 years ago. She developed symmetric aditive polyarthritis as well as superior and inferior airways involvement. There was no evidence of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener). She had several serum autoantibodies and a skin biopsy showed a foreign body granuloma. The diagnosis of adjuvant induced autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome was made. The pulmonary involvement was an atypical manifestation at the onset of disease.
