Abstract

We report here a very rare case of MCTD complicating double cancer. A 43-year-old woman with suspected MCTD was admitted because of high fever and lymphadenopathy. The laboratory findings indicated high titers of speckled ANA, anti-RNP, DNA and Scl-70, but anti-Sm. SS-A and SS-B was not detected. Chest CT and Spirogram revealed lung fibrosis, restrictive ventilatory impairment, and decreased diffusion capacity. Biopsy specimen by gastric fiberscope s screening indicated II c advanced type of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. After subtotal gastrectomy, she had high fever, pleuritis, leukopenia, butterfly erythema and hypoxemia, which were improved by 30 mg/day of oral prednisolone. One year after from the last operation, she had contact bleeding, and squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix was diagnosed. She had Raynaud's phenomenon 6 months after from hysterectomy.
