A 60-year-old male smoker came with dyspnea. A rare condition known as combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) was observed on a chest CT scan. Decreased DLCO in combination with normal FVC can help diagnose CPFE. Concomitant connective tissue diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, should be checked in CPFE patients.
一名60岁男性吸烟者因呼吸困难前来就诊。胸部CT扫描发现一种罕见的疾病,即合并性肺纤维化和肺气肿(CPFE)。DLCO降低而FVC正常有助于诊断CPFE。CPFE患者应检查是否伴有包括类风湿关节炎在内的结缔组织病。
