Imaging findings
A young female presented with lower lobe predominant ground-glass opacity, possibly with inferior displacement of the hila, and a subtle finding of calcification in the soft tissue. Her most recent study showed a pattern mostly described as organizing pneumonia with potential areas of non-specific interstitial pneumonia, associated with soft tissue calcifications.
Key takeaways
This is a case of known dermatomyositis with biopsy-proven organizing pneumonia and non-specific interstitial pneumonia, as well as soft tissue calcifications. Patients with dermatomyositis may present with either skin or lung manifestations, or both, which was seen in this patient who deteriorated over several years.
