【 摘 要 】

Anti-Synthetase Syndrome (ASyS) is a rare chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by myositis, interstitial lung disease (ILD), polyarthralgia,“mechanic’s hands” and Raynaud’s phenomenon. Liver lesions are quite rare in ASyS.In our ASyS case, we will discuss a 58-year-old man presenting with muscle weakness, arthralgia, and interstitial lung disease (ILD). He was positive for anti-Jo-1 antibodies, substantiating the diagnosis, and was started on treatment. This was followed by the appearance of a liver mass that disappeared when the patient achieved remission.
