Abstract
We report a case of pulmonary asbestosis in a patient who also developed glomerulonephritis and lymphomatoid granulomatosis. The pulmonary reaction was unusual, characterized clinically by an acute onset of symptoms after a prolonged latent period and morphologically by an interstitial pneumonitis with prominent desquamative features and a paucity of fibrosis. The association of pulmonary asbestosis with glomerulonephritis and lymphomatoid granulomatosis has been hitherto unreported.
