We describe three patients with progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD) as the first and only manifestation of systemic sclerosis. In one patient the presence of anti-Scl-70 autoantibodies suggested systemic sclerosis to be the underlying cause of the disease. In the two other subjects, however, anti-Scl-70 antibodies were negative. In these patients the lung disease preceded other manifestations of systemic sclerosis by several years. Diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of systemic sclerosisassociated ILD is discussed.
