Antisynthetase syndrome is a rare disorder, included among the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, characterized by the presence of antisynthetase antibodies. We present a case of a patient with a suggestive clinical stage of interstitial lung disease, skin and articular disease, but without muscle involvement, with the presence of anti Jol antibodies.
