Résumé
New onset of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) occurring in patients previously diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is very uncommon. In older individuals, this condition is associated with high mortality, especially in those with renal involvement. We describe the first case of GPA in a patient older than 65 years diagnosed with RA without exposure to biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, presenting with pulmonary nodules due to a limited form of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-negative GPA.
