Abstract:
The usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern observed on chest computed tomography (CT) is considered a risk factor for the development of postoperative acute exacerbation in interstitial lung disease (ILD). However, the risk factors for acute exacerbation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-associated ILD have not been adequately investigated. We present a case of postoperative acute exacerbation after thoracic surgery in a 73-year-old man with RA-ILD and non-UIP pattern on chest CT. This case report emphasizes that postoperative acute exacerbation can develop even in the absence of a radiological UIP pattern.
