OSHA mandated programs of pulmonary cytology among coke oven workers have resulted in detection of a number of unsuspected tumors. While it is too early to determine the eventual impact of these programs, this report describes the detection of a 0.3 cm peripheral lesion, believed to the smallest identified by cytology. In addition to being diminutive, the tumor proved to be of the epidermoid type, unusual for the location. Further investigation is required to determine whether peripheral epidermoid neoplasms are associated with exposure to coke oven vapors.
职业安全与健康管理局（OSHA）要求对焦炉工人进行肺部细胞学检查的项目，已检测出一些此前未被怀疑的肿瘤。虽然现在确定这些项目的最终影响还为时过早，但本报告描述了一个0.3厘米的周边病变的检测情况，据信这是通过细胞学检查发现的最小病变。除了体积小之外，该肿瘤被证明是表皮样类型，这在该位置并不常见。需要进一步调查以确定周边表皮样肿瘤是否与接触焦炉废气有关。
