Stannosis is a condition in which tin-oxide is deposited in lung tissue after inhalation. Tin-oxide is radiologically visible although there is no tissue reaction to its presence. Two examples of the condition are described. It is of value to recognise the condition and so avoid unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures.
锡尘肺是一种吸入后氧化锡沉积于肺组织的病症。氧化锡在放射学上可见,尽管其存在未引起组织反应。文中描述了该病症的两个实例。认识到这种病症很有价值,这样可以避免不必要的侵入性诊断程序。
