Abstract
The radiological, clinical and laboratory features found in 7 patients with scleroderma-SLE [systemic lupus erythrematosus] overlap, including 3 with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), were described. There were no distinctive roentgenographic features which differentiated those with MCTD from the others with a clinical overlap syndrome of scleroderma and SLE. When features of both coexist in a single patient, the radiologist may be the 1st to suggest the correct diagnosis of overlap syndrome or MCTD.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
