Abstract
Background
Patients with connective tissue disease, such as dermatomyositis (DM), and positive anti-TIF1γ self-antibodies are commonly diagnosed with malignant tumors as a comorbidity. The relationship between anti-TIF1γ self-antibodies and existing malignant tumors has been confirmed by several reports. However, interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF) cases with a positive anti-TIF1γ self-antibody developing to solid malignant tumors are rarely reported now.
Case presentation
Herein, we presented an IPAF patient with anti-TIF1γ self-antibodies. No evidence of malignant tumors was found at the initial visit. However, the patient had developed stage IVB lung squamous cell carcinoma at the 1-year follow-up review.
Conclusions
Altogether, this report described a rare case of IPAF patient with anti-TIF1γ self-antibodies developed to advanced lung squamous cell carcinoma in 1 year. The present case highlights more frequent imaging examinations to identify the occurrence of malignant tumors as early as possible in IPAF patients with positive anti-TIF1γ self-antibodies.
