Massive Bilateral Upper Lobe Fibrosis Secondary to Asbestos Exposure

Robert A. Green M.D.1 and Donald G. Dimcheff M.D.1

1 Pulmonary Division, Department of Internal Medicine, Veterans Administration Hospital, and the Pulmonary Division, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Michigan Medical Center, Ann Arbor, Mich

Three patients with massive bilateral upper lobe fibrosis due to asbestos exposure are presented. This pattern of involvement is unusual in asbestosis. Asbestosis should be considered as a possible cause of such roentgenographic changes, especially if the etiology of the upper lobe fibrosis is otherwise unclear.
