Neumonía organizante criptogénica asociada a síndrome de Felty

Article information

Resumen

El síndrome de Felty es la tríada de artritis, esplenomegalia y neutropenia. Adicionalmente, se pueden encontrar en este síndrome múltiples factores propios de la artritis reumatoide, entre ellos la presencia de nódulos pulmonares. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con hallazgos clínicos y paraclínicos que evidencian la presencia del síndrome de Felty, presentando, además, nódulos pulmonares en los estudios radiológicos e histológicos que documentaron granulomas crónicos, bronquiolitis obliterante y neumonía organizante.

Palabras clave:
