Shriveled lung syndrome (FLS) or vanishing lung syndrome is a complication of a systemic autoimmune disease most commonly seen in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but also in Sjögren's syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and scleroderma. This syndrome is characterized by shortness of breath, pain in the anterior, lateral part of the chest, radiating to the shoulder, collarbone, neck, and a progressive decrease in lung volume without signs of pleural or interstitial disease on computed tomography (CT) of the chest. This rare disease can be accompanied by severe complications, including severe shortness of breath and, less commonly, respiratory failure. Although shrunken lung syndrome is rare, clinicians should have a high suspicion of FMF in patients with a long history of SLE and worsening dyspnea. Early treatment can be started to help reduce long-term morbidity and mortality and maintain quality of life.
Keywords:shrunken lung syndrome (SSL), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), antinuclear antibodies (ANA), pulmonary fibrosis, rituximab
