/tecK Vd88; 93i -Ss4 ^j Case Reports ASBESTOSIS ASSOCIATED WITH BRONCHOGENIC CARCINOMA ROGER STOLL, M.D. RICHARD BASS, M.D. AH O' ALFRED A. ANGRIST, M.D. JAMAICA, N. r, ' HOLLEB and Angrist1 in 1942 reported two cases of bronchogenic carc;noma in association with pulmonary..asbestosis. The first case of carcinoma of the Jung in association with pulmonary asbestosis was reported in 1935 by Lynch and Smith.* In that year Gloyne reported two cases and in 1936 another.' Egbert and Geiger * reported one case in 1936. Nordmatm * presented two cases ir IS3S. One year later Lynch and Smith * added another. Of these, six were of squamous cell carcinoma, one of squamous-cell carcinoma with glandular features, two of oat-ccl! carcinoma, one of glandular carcinoma, and another of squamous^cell nonkeratinizing carcinoma. The age of the patients ranged from 33 to 71 years, and the duration of exposure, from 19 months to 25 years. All but two had metastases. Freedom from exposure before death varied from four months to IS years. We haw 'und four additional cases not mentioned in the report by Holleb and Angrist.' ` Two cases reported by Koelschr in 1940 were in an oral communication, and no details are known. Two more cases were reported by Linzbach and Wedler* in 1941, one of which was of a squamous-cell carcinoma in a man 61 years old, exposed for at least three years to asbestos; of the other, no details were known. Ir. 1941 also Desmeules 3 added two more cases to the literature, one of a man 37 years old in whom alveolar-cell carcinoma was found and who had been exposed .
