Abstract
|
|
|
|
A 61 Year-old female patient was hospitalized for lung cancer. Her Occupational history indicated that she had worked for an asbestos company for 9 years from 1976. The histopathology of the lung revealed malignant bronchioalveolar adenocarcima (stage III) in the lower-left lobe, and a lung sample was found to cantion an unusually high level of asbestos, 218.9times10^6 asbestos fibers/g of dry lung tissue. The majority of asbestos fibers found was chrusotile. yet no asbestos body was detected. When compared with Korean male (0.3times10^6 fibers/g of dry lung tissue) and female subjects (0.15times10^6 fibers/g of dry lung tissue) with no known history of occupational asbestos exposure, the apparent cause of the lung cancer in the current patient was occupational exposure to asbestos.
