Rheumatoid pneumoconiosis is an uncommon combination of occupational lung disease caused by exposure to harmful silica dust with rheumatoid inflammation of the joints, rheumatoid arthritis, with an autoimmune background. Until now, the disease was observed mostly among coal and gold miners and granite workers. Written documents on the theme are summarized.
