Systemic sclerosis is a complex autoimmune disease responsible for diffuse involvement of connective tissue, belonging to the group of connective tissue disorders. It is characterized by cutaneous and vascular fibrosis and may affect multiple organs, particularly the lungs and the digestive system. It is a rare disease. We report the case of a 56-year-old patient with systemic sclerosis in whom a chest CT scan revealed pulmonary fibrosis associated with abnormal esophageal dilatation. The examination also demonstrated two lesions suggestive of pulmonary aspergillomas. This case highlights the value of chest CT in identifying respiratory complications of connective tissue diseases, as well as the possibility of fungal superinfection in an already fibrotic lung.
