23. Ateléctasi rodona
És una forma de col·lapse pulmonar no segmentari i perifèric que
simula una neoplàsia pulmonar o pleural.
És produeix com a conseqüència del plegament sobre sí mateix d`una
part del pulmó, secundari a una afectació pleural.
Qualsevol pleuritis d’altres etiologies poden també provocar-la.
El diagnòstic es fa amb el TAC, ja que a la radiografia de tòrax simula
una massa pulmonar.
El TAC mostra una opacitat rodona de base pleural. Hi ha també

25. Fibrosis pulmonar per asbestosis
Es una pneumopatia intersticial difusa, amb fibrosis, provocada por la
inhalació de fibres d’amiant.
S’associa amb períodes de llarga exposició, entre 10 i 20 anys
Però s’han descrit casos amb exposicions molt intenses de poc temps
(entre1 mes i1any) que l’han provocat.
Els símptomes son inespecífics, como tos seca i dispnea d’esforç i en
la exploració hi ha crepitants tipo “velcro” a bases pulmonars i
acropaquia.
En fases avançades: insuficiència respiratòria i corpulmonale
Les manifestacions funcionals i radiològiques son similars a la fibrosis

Lung dust content in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: a
study with scanning electron microscopy and energy
dispersive x ray analysis.

Br J Ind Med. 1991 May;48(5):327-31.
Figure 1 Asbestosfibres in a sample with a previous
diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonaryfibrosis (scanning electron
microscopy 1250 x ).
Results
One sample of normal lung tissue and one sample of
tissue from a patient with IPF were discarded from
mineralogical analysis due to poor quality of the
SEM imaging that impeded recognition of the inor-
ganic particles. These samples were not considered
in the results.
Most of the samples from patients diagnosed as
having IPF contained only occasional inorganic
particles (< 10 particles in the area studied), but two
(8 3%) showed innumerable asbestos fibres (> 100
asbestos fibres in the area). One ofthese patients had
an antecedent of a brief occupational exposure to
asbestos. No relevant antecedent was found in the
second patient (table 2; figures 1, 2).
The twenty four samples of normal lung analysed

inhalatory antecedents (table 3).
Discussion
Our results provide evidence that an examination
using optical microscopy and polarised light over-
diagnoses IPF. We found 2/24 cases with a previous
diagnosis of IPF (8-3%) that contained innumerable
asbestos fibres in the area studied, with no asbestos

phage eventually dies, thus releasing cytokines and attracting
further lung macrophages and fibroblastic cells to lay down fibrous
tissue. This eventually forms a fibrous mass, resulting in interstitial
fibrosis.30,31
It usually takes 20 years or more to see asbestosis
develop after exposure.
The distortion of pulmonary architecture, namely, the laying
down of collagen in an interstitial location, is similar to many of
the features seen in usual interstitial pneumonia. Lung tissue
becomes scarred around the terminal bronchioles and alveolar
ducts. The fibrotic scar tissue causes alveolar walls to thicken,
which reduces elasticity and gas diffusion, leading to reduced
oxygen transfer to blood and removal of carbon dioxide. Moreover,
asbestos, particularly amphibole in the form of crocidolite and
amosite, includes iron and is considered responsible for the
production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. These reactive
oxygen and nitrogen species may further promote local chronic
inflammation.30,31
Because of these cellular and molecular events, cleaved asbes-
tos fibers accumulate in regional lymph nodes, the distal end of
developing malignancy, which is discussed further in the section
on neoplastic disease.
Neoplastic Disease
Malignant Mesothelioma
Malignant mesothelioma is known to be highly associated with
asbestos exposure and occurs primarily in the pleura and the
peritoneum, but it can also arise in the pericardium, tunica
vaginalis testis, larynx, and kidney. Asbestos exposure has also
been suggested as a contributor to nodular pulmonary
amyloidosis.4
Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
Epidemiology
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is the most common
primary neoplasm of the pleura32,33
but still a rare tumor. Pleural
Round atelectasis does show enhancement at
trast-enhanced CT (31), and it has been sug-
ed that a uniform pattern of enhancement
ors round atelectasis. However, contrast en-
cement is not thought to be a reliable charac-
stic for differentiating benign asbestos-related
ase from malignancy (1,32). Stability or
nkage of the mass with the passage of time
ngly suggests benignancy (32), but biopsy
y be required.
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has been
orted to show round atelectasis as a mass with
signal intensity characteristics similar to those
verity of fibrosis (12,36). The lag between expo-
sure and onset of symptoms is usually 20 years or
longer (36) (sometimes more than 40 years) but
can be as little as 3 years in cases with constant
heavy exposure (36).
The pathogenesis of asbestosis, as with so
much of asbestos-related disease, is incompletely
understood. Tissue damage is caused by che-
motactic factors and fibrogenic mediators re-
leased from alveolar neutrophils or macrophages
after they attempt to ingest and clear the fibers.
Chronic fiber deposition stimulates persistent
mediator release and leads to fibrosis that spreads

avage specimen shows a classic asbestos body with a segmental dumbbell-shaped configuration (arrow). (13) Pho-
aph shows macroscopic appearance of “honeycomb” lung with subpleural accentuation typical of asbestosis (ar-
s). No pleural thickening is present on this section.
