OBJECTIVE
To describe 33 cases of malignant mesothelioma among individuals with no known asbestos exposure other than cosmetic talcum powder.
METHODS
Cases were referred for medico-legal evaluation, and tissue digestions were performed in some cases. Tissue digestion for the six cases described was done according to standard methodology.
RESULTS
Asbestos of the type found in talcum powder was found in all six cases evaluated. Talcum powder usage was the only source of asbestos for all 33 cases.
CONCLUSIONS
Exposure to asbestos-contaminated talcum powders can cause mesothelioma. Clinicians should elicit a history of talcum powder usage in all patients presenting with mesothelioma.
目的
描述 33 例除了使用美容滑石粉外无其他已知石棉暴露的恶性间皮瘤病例。
方法
这些病例被转介进行法医评估，在某些情况下进行了组织消化。对描述的 6 例病例进行了组织消化，按照标准方法进行。
结果
在所评估的 6 例病例中均发现了与滑石粉中相同类型的石棉。滑石粉的使用是 33 例病例中唯一的石棉来源。
结论
接触含石棉的滑石粉会导致间皮瘤。临床医生在遇到所有患有间皮瘤的患者时都应询问滑石粉使用史。
