We report a case of recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy caused by coalworkers' pneumoconiosis with progressive massive fibrosis (PMF). This illustrates that PMF alone may be added to the list of lesions which can cause recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy. However, efforts should always be made to exclude more common causes, in particular bronchogenic carcinoma, before attributing the palsy to PMF.
我们报告了一例由煤工尘肺伴进行性大块纤维化(PMF)引起的喉返神经麻痹病例。这表明仅PMF就可能被列入可导致喉返神经麻痹的病变清单中。然而,在将麻痹归因于PMF之前,应始终努力排除更常见的原因,特别是支气管源性癌。
