Two lymphocytic neoplasms, chronic lymphocytic leukemia and poorly differentiated lymphoma, were detected in two patients who had nonoccupational exposure to asbestos. Both had a pleural mesothelioma subsequent to their initial presentation with lymphocytic neoplasm. Recent reports have suggested a possible association between asbestos exposure and lymphoproliferative neoplasms. Chronic antigenic stimulation by asbestos could predispose one to the immunoproliferative disorders seen in these patients. The possible significance of this relationship is discussed for future consideration.
在两名非职业性接触石棉的患者中检测到两种淋巴细胞性肿瘤，即慢性淋巴细胞白血病和低分化淋巴瘤。两人在最初出现淋巴细胞性肿瘤后均发生了胸膜间皮瘤。最近的报告表明石棉接触与淋巴增殖性肿瘤之间可能存在关联。石棉引起的慢性抗原刺激可能使个体易患这些患者中所见的免疫增殖性疾病。讨论了这种关系的可能意义以供未来参考。
