Pulmonary involvement in collagen vascular diseases is extremely common. It is usually seen in the well described dyscollagenoses and in mixed connective tissue diseases (MCTD). However, there is a lesser known entity called Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease (UCTD) which can also involve the lung. We herein present a case of a young man who was detected to have lung involvement secondary to UCTD.
