TUBULORETICULAR INCLUSIONS IN SYSTEMIC LUPUS PNEUMONITIS - REPORT OF A CASE AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE ARCHIVES OF PATHOLOGY & LABORATORY MEDICINE LYON, M. G., Bewtra, C., KENIK, J. G., Hurley, J. A. 1984; 108 (7): 599-600

Abstract

Tubuloreticular inclusions have been described with sufficient frequency in certain tissues of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) to make the finding of such inclusions helpful in making a diagnosis of this disorder. The finding of such inclusions in lung biopsy specimens, however, has been distinctly rare. We report herein the ultrastructural findings in the case of a young woman with active systemic LE showing tubuloreticular inclusions within lung and kidney biopsy specimens.
