SUMMARY.— A case of systemic sclerosis associated with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung is presented. The relationship between malignant disease and systemic sclerosis is briefly discussed. Haemoptysis occurilng in a patient with systemic sclerosis may not be caused by the disease but be due to neoplastic change in the lung, and therefore merits full investigation.
