We describe the case of a 63-year-old nonsmoker woman, with a long history of active seropositive rheumatoid arthritis, failure to multiple disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs due to both loss of efficacy and adverse drug reaction. She was exposed to silicon dust some years ago and has many pulmonary nodules, revealed by imaging studies as multiple cavitary lung nodules. Her initial pathological samples were negative for any infections and treatment against tuberculosis and anti-fungal therapy did not improve the appearance of the nodules. After an extensive reevaluation of pulmonary nodules, the Baricitinib treatment was started.
