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.

Caplan syndrome is a rare entity that is specific to rheumatoid arthritis and presents with multiple, well-defined necrotic nodules in patients with occupational dust exposure. The present report describes a case of Caplan syndrome involving a 71-year-old man with a known diagnosis of seropositive rheumatoid arthritis who presented to the authors’ centre with a five-year history of multiple, bilateral cavitary lung nodules with mild dyspnea on exertion. He was an ex-smoker (30 pack-years) and had previously worked with silica. The case highlights the clinical, radiological and pathological features of this syndrome and outlines the importance of considering a broad differential in the management of pulmonary nodules, especially in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
