Title: Typical Silicotic Nodules
Type: Text Slide with Picture
Content: The Typical Silicotic Nodules Densely Accumulated in the Changed Lung
(Note the Distinctness of Each Nodule and the Concentric Layering of Fibers
Within the Nodule)
(From Sklensky, B: Silicosis of Stell Casting Cleaners, J. E. Purkyne
University Medical Facility, Brno, Czechoslovakia, 1975)
Speaker Note: As the disease progresses, the silicotic nodules coalesce and
form a continuous mass of fibrotic tissue, called progressive massive fibrosis.
