Abstract

A case of hepatosplenic silicosis complicating a pulmonary silicosis is reported. Numerous calcified splenic nodules seen with conventional radiology, ultrasound or computed tomography, hepatic microcalcifications and "egg shell" abdominal lymph nodes best seen with computed tomography represent the radiologic signs. However, hepatosplenic silicosis can only be confirmed by pathological examination of liver biopsies showing birefringent particles within hyalinized nodules.

摘要

报告了一例肝脾型矽肺合并肺矽肺的病例。传统放射学、超声或计算机断层扫描可见大量脾钙化结节，计算机断层扫描最易显示的肝微钙化和“蛋壳样”腹部淋巴结为放射学表现。然而，肝脾型矽肺只能通过肝活检的病理检查来确诊，病理检查显示透明变性结节内有双折射颗粒。
