Area of Science:

  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Rheumatology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Apical pulmonary fibrosis is a recognized non-articular manifestation of ankylosing spondylitis.
  • Psoriasis is commonly linked with joint and spinal conditions, but its association with pulmonary fibrosis is rare.

Observation:

  • This report details two patients diagnosed with psoriasis who subsequently developed apical pulmonary disease.
  • Comprehensive diagnostic evaluations for other causes of their pulmonary condition yielded negative results.

Findings:

  • The two cases presented suggest a potential, albeit infrequent, link between psoriasis and apical pulmonary disease.
  • Extensive investigations ruled out common etiologies for the observed pulmonary fibrosis.

Implications:

  • Further research is warranted to explore the potential association between psoriasis and apical pulmonary disease.
  • This finding may prompt clinicians to consider pulmonary evaluations in psoriatic patients presenting with relevant respiratory symptoms.
