Abstract
The case of a 51-year-old man with pneumoconiosis caused by fibrous glass dust is reported. The diagnosis is confirmed by histological examination and by x-ray micro analysis using a scanning electron microscope. Pneumoconiosis following fibrous glass exposure should be taken into consideration in differential diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases.
