Abstract
Caplan's syndrome is an accelerated formation of pulmonary nodules that occurs to patients who have both rheumatoid arthritis and pneumoconiosis. It was firstly reported in coal worker's pneumoconiosis but subsequently has been noted in association with other thpes of pneumoconiosis. Large conglomerating mass in complicated pneumoconiosis develop and cavitation may occur. Pulmonary tubercul osis is one of the most common complications of pneumoconiosis. The patients with pneumoconiotuberculosis treat more intensely and longer times of period than other patients with tuberculosis. We report a case of Caplan’s syndrome associated with cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis occurred in a 58-years-old man.
