ABSTRACT
Connective tissue diseases are a heterogeneous group of autoimmune diseases that can affect a variety of organ systems. Lung parenchymal involvement is an important contributor to morbidity and mortality in children with connective tissue disease. Connective tissue disease-associated lung disease in children often manifests as one of several radiologic-pathologic patterns of disease, with certain patterns having a propensity to occur in association with certain connective tissue diseases. In this article, key clinical, histopathologic, and computed tomography (CT) features of typical patterns of connective tissue disease-associated lung disease in children are reviewed, with an emphasis on radiologic-pathologic correlation, to improve recognition of these patterns of lung disease at CT and to empower the pediatric radiologist to more fully contribute to the care of pediatric patients with these conditions.
