Typical rheumatoid pleural effusion is an exudate characterized by low pH and glucose levels and high LDH activity. Rarely, it has features of pseudochylothorax. Other uncommon complications are pneumothorax, hydropneumothorax, empyema, and bronchopleural fistula. The case of a 51-year-oldman with a spontaneous, small, and asymptomatic hydropneumothorax with features of pseudochylothorax is presented. After careful clinical and laboratory evaluation, he was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, and we admitted that the pleural changes were secondary to the connective tissue disease. He started immunosuppressive treatment and maintained stability duringfollow-up,without need of specific pleural treatment. We hypothesized that the pleural nodule found on the chest computed tomography scan was related with the simultaneous occurrence of pleural effusion and pneumothorax. This is a rare presentation and complication of RA, highlighting the utility of a comprehensive clinical and laboratory evaluation and focusing on the importance of pleural rheumatoid nodules in the pathogenesis of RA pleural disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2018\/7846962","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,22]],"date-time":"2018-04-22T23:32:26Z","timestamp":1524439946000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Pseudochylothorax Combined with Spontaneous Pneumothorax: Case Report of a Rare Complication of Rheumatoid Arthritis"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2018","author":[{"given":"Raquel","family":"Rosa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pulmonology Department, Hospital de Santa Marta, Centro Hospitalar de Lisboa Central, Lisbon, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6247-8374","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Dion\u00edsio","family":"Maia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pulmonology Department, Hospital de Santa Marta, Centro Hospitalar de Lisboa Central, Lisbon, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"N\u00eddia","family":"Caires","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pulmonology Department, Hospital de Santa Marta, Centro Hospitalar de Lisboa Central, Lisbon, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rita","family":"Gerardo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pulmonology Department, Hospital de Santa Marta, Centro Hospitalar de Lisboa Central, Lisbon, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"In\u00eas","family":"Gon\u00e7alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pulmonology Department, Hospital de Santa Marta, Centro Hospitalar de Lisboa Central, Lisbon, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Cardoso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pulmonology Department, Hospital de Santa Marta, Centro Hospitalar de Lisboa Central, Lisbon, Portugal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.semarthrit.2006.03.002"},{"first-page":"11973","volume-title":"Pulmonary manifestations of the collagen vascular diseases","year":"2015","key":"2"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejrad.2015.07.008"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/art.27584"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/thx.38.2.159"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9343(67)90056-3"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/ard.41.2.137"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/rheumatology\/40.2.232"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s1297-319x(03)00104-0"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/ard.2004.032011"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1024\/1661-8157.97.21.1133"},{"issue":"1","key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"163","DOI":"10.1016\/S0272-5231(21)00347-6","volume":"6","year":"1985","journal-title":"Clinics in Chest Medicine"},{"key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.21037\/jtd.2016.07.84"},{"key":"14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005792-199905000-00006"},{"key":"15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.09-0445"},{"key":"16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0970-2113.168127"},{"key":"17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arbres.2016.02.010"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/crim\/2018\/7846962.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/crim\/2018\/7846962.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/crim\/2018\/7846962.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,20]],"date-time":"2022-08-20T17:19:23Z","timestamp":1661015963000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/crim\/2018\/7846962\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018]]},"references-count":17,"alternative-id":["7846962","7846962"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2018\/7846962","relation":{},"ISSN":["1687-9627","1687-9635"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"1687-9627"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1687-9635"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018]]}}}
