title: [A rare form of rheumatic lung disease].
abstract: Rheumatic changes of the lung are not usual findings, but may accompany rheumatoid arthritis in the form of interstitial fibrosis or pleurisy. The extent of the rheumatic changes depends on the duration of the illness. Necrobiotic nodules in the lung are found very rarely indeed, but if so then usually in the lower lobe of the lung. A case of necrobiotic nodules in the upper lobe of the lung is described.
