However, SLE-ILD remains insufficiently stratified according to clinical course, and no predictive factor for rapidly progressive ILD (RP-ILD), including high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) pattern, has yet been established. Here we report a 71-year-old man who presented with dyspnea, fever, pancytopenia, anti-double-stranded DNA antibody positivity, hypocomplementemia, proteinuria, and neuropsychiatric symptoms. HRCT initially showed bilateral consolidation predominantly in the peripheral lower lung zones, consistent with organising pneumonia (OP), followed by rapid extension with ground-glass opacities. He was diagnosed with rapidly progressive systemic lupus erythematosus-associated interstitial lung disease (RP-SLE-ILD) with neuropsychiatric involvement and nephritis and improved after intensive combined immunosuppressive therapy. To characterise the HRCT findings of RP-SLE-ILD, we performed a systematic literature review and identified 27 patients with RP-SLE-ILD, including the present case. OP-dominant patterns, defined as OP alone or OP combined with nonspecific interstitial pneumonia, were significantly more frequent than in the chronic reference cohorts (77.8% vs 10.0% or 14.6%). In contrast, isolated nonspecific interstitial pneumonia was significantly less frequent than in the chronic cohorts (3.7% vs 55.0% or 31.5%). These findings suggest that OP-dominant HRCT patterns and lower lung zone consolidation may be recurring radiological features among reported RP-SLE-ILD cases, although their predictive value requires validation in consecutive cohorts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/mrcr\/rxag090","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,29]],"date-time":"2026-09-29T11:40:02Z","timestamp":1790682002000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Rapidly
