Abstract

There is a great relationship between dermatological diseases and their thoracic manifestations. Its early detection is important, not only to guide the diagnosis with its consequent correlation with skin manifestations, but also to help direct the most appropriate clinical management, such as interstitial lung disease associated with connective tissue pathologies. Within this article there is a review in relation to the clinical and radiological correlation of the main entities both infectious, inflammatory, connective tissue diseases, hereditary and acquired diseases. In addition, this article provides evidence of the importance of performing a multidetector computed tomography in the detection of pulmonary parenchymal pathology that may go unnoticed in the chest radiograph. Explanation of basic radiological terminology is also provided, key to understanding thoracic involvement for the dermatologist.
