Description
Summary:Systemic sclerois (SS) is a relatively rare immunoinflammatory disease characterized by vasculopathy, immune abnormalities and generalized fibrosis. The prevalence of cancer in SS ranges from 3 to 11%, with tumors most commonly identified in the lung or gastrointestinal tract. Despite regular follow-up of patients with SS by rheumatologists, the oncologic process is often diagnosed at late stages. We describe the clinical observation of a 71-year-old patient with a long history of SS in whom the tumor process was detected at the stage of bone metastases, and morphological verification was difficult.
