Systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) is a rare disease in the Asian population and might be overlooked in clinical practice. Early diagnosis is crucial to initiate treatment and to prevent disease progression. Chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is the modality of choice for diagnosing and assessing this disorder. SSc-ILD should be included in the list of differential diagnoses of ILD. Familiarity with HRCT findings and thorough clinical examination are crucial for diagnosis and treatment.
Keywords: high‐resolution computed tomography; interstitial lung disease; systemic sclerosis.
