Abstract
In the presentation of an IIP, the presence of a nucleolar-staining ANA, telangiectasia, Raynaud phenomenon with abnormal capillaroscopy findings, gastroesophageal reflux, or pericardial disease suggests underlying systemic sclerosis. These findings should aid clinicians in the evaluation and treatment of patients with otherwise undefined ILD.
