Pulmonary involvement in collagen vascular disease: a review of the pulmonary manifestations of the Marfan syndrome, ankylosing spondylitis, Sjögren's syndrome, and relapsing polychondritis

J Thorac Imaging. 1992 Mar;7(2):62-77.

Abstract

The pulmonary manifestations of collagen vascular diseases span an enormous range of clinical and radiographic findings. The breadth of these abnormalities is as diverse as the underlying diseases themselves. A comprehensive discussion of pulmonary involvement in four of these diseases, the Marfan syndrome, ankylosing spondylitis, Sjögren's syndrome, and relapsing polychondritis, is presented.
