[Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia associated with dermatomyositis and antiphospholipid syndrome].
Dermatomyositis and antiphospholipid syndrome are rare diseases that can be associated pulmonary damage. We report a case of anti-phospholipid syndrome that presented with bilateral pulmonary embolism and subsequently developed pulmonary infiltrates in association with the characteristic muscular and cutaneous features of dermatomyositis. Histological examination of trans-bronchial biopsies revealed bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia.
