Caplan Syndrome Mimicking Progressive Massive Fibrosis on CT: A Case Report
Caplan syndrome, a rare condition in coal miners with rheumatoid arthritis, can mimic accelerated progressive massive fibrosis. This case highlights its distinct CT imaging features, crucial for accurate diagnosis in occupational lung disease.
Area of Science:
- Occupational Medicine
- Rheumatology
- Pulmonary Medicine
Background:
- Caplan syndrome is a rare condition affecting coal miners with rheumatoid arthritis.
- It presents with rheumatoid nodules in the lungs.
- Accurate diagnosis can be challenging due to overlapping symptoms with other lung diseases.
