    AbstractThe patient is a 49-year-old woman who had never used tobacco with a history of relapsing polychondritis and episcleritis. She sought treatment at our clinic for evaluation of multiple lung masses. She originally received a diagnosis by chest radiography performed to rule out sarcoidosis as the cause of episcleritis showing an abnormal findings. She had no contributory surgical, family, or social history. The autoimmune markers were notable for positive rheumatoid factor (153 IU/mL) and elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (97 mm/h) and C-reactive protein (65.5 mg/L). Pertinent studies with negative results included antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody, antinuclear antibody, cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody, Sjogren syndrome-related antigen A, and Sjogren syndrome-related antigen B tests.Copyright © 2023 American College of Chest Physicians.
