.Case 4. H.M.G. was a 71-yearold retired bricklayer admitted to Firland Sanatorium with suspected tuberculosis. Symptoms in cluded hemoptysis, cough, and wheezing. A large infiltrate was seen in the left upjier lobe and a mottled appearance in the lower lobe by roentgenogram. Cultures were positive for tubercle bacilli. His condition deteriorated over a 3-month period, and he died. A poly poid, soft, white tumor in the left main bron chus was continuous with a mass in the apicalposterior segment of the left upper lobe. The tumor had infiltrated into the chest wall pos teriorly. There was fibrocaseous tuberculosis of the right lung. Microscopically, the tumor was a poorly differentiated squamous cell carci noma. There was moderately severe pulmonary fibrosis with numerous asbestos bodies present. There were numerous foci of caseation ne crosis associated with the tuberculous gran uloma formation.

?ipe insulator and coverer admitted to the eattle Veterans Administration Hospital be cause of exertional dyspnea. He haa been aheavy smoker for 10 years previously. A chest roentgenogram showed a mass in the right lung and atelectasis of the middle and lower lobes. A right lower lobectomy was carried out, and a firm infiltrating malignant tumor was found. Microscopically, this tumor was a mod erately differentiated adenocarcinoma that had infiltrated the mucosa of the main bronchus entering this lobe. There was diffuse fibrosis of lung parenchyma, and numerous asbestos bodies were seen both in the tumor and in the areas of.fibrosis.
Case 6. H.R.H. was a 69-year-old white man admitted to the Seattle Veterans Administra tion Hospital with symptoms of increasing shortness of breath and chronic pulmonary dis ease. He had worked in an asbestos plant for 48 years. He had been told he had asbestosis 15 years prior to his admission to the hospital. He had smoked cigarettes for 20 years.

carcinoma. Autopsy revealed an anaplastic car* cinoma, arising in the right upper lobe bron chus anrl infiltrating the major portion of that lobe. Metastases were evident in the hilar lymph nodes, liver, and adrenal glands. As bestos bodies were seen within the tumor and in the adjacent fibrous lung tissue.
Case 7. E.J.H. was a 65-yearold white man who was admitted to the hospital with a primary complaint of swelling of the right side of the neck of 1 week's duration. He had worked as an asbestos insulator in the Bremer ton Naval Shipyard, Bremerton, Wash., during die past year and prior to that had worked in an asoestos manufacturing plant for 55 years. He had smoked 1 package of cigarettes per day for AO years. He had progressive dyspnea with rapidly decreasing respiratory function and died 3 weeks after nis admission to the hospital. Autopsy revealed severe pul monary fibrosis with a squamous carcinoma infiltrating the right upper lobe. Asbestos bodies were prominent witliin the tumor-bear ing area.
Case 8. P.K. was a 62-year-old white man who presented with symptoms of general dis ability and weight loss. A roentgenogram taken on admission to the hospital revealed
an area of increased density in the right upper lobe and emphysema. A nilar mass was evi dent on the right. At thoracotomy, a tumor involving the right upper lobe was found. However, the tumor had, by direct extension, involved the chest wall and was considered inoperable. The .patient died 3 days postoperatively in respiratory failure. The tumor was for the most part an undifferentiated car cinoma with areas of mucus-producing adeno carcinoma. Asbestos bodies were identified in both the tumor and the areas of pulmonary fibrosis.
Case 9. G.S. was a 68-year-old white man who had worked for many years with asbestos and Fibergtas as an insulation worker. His chief complaints were productive cough, ex ertional dyspnea, and weight loss. A roent genogram of the chest revealed interstitial pneumonitis in the right upper lobe. The
Satient showed progressive pulmonary difculty with cyanosis and died 10 days after admission to the hospital. At autopsy, the left lung revealed multiple firm nodules up to 13 cm. in diameter, and the right lung contained a firm but honeycombed area in the right apex. Sections showed a brondiiolar carcinoma with multiple foci throughout both lungs and the hilar lymph nodes. Asbestos bodies were

identified in the tumor and in areas of pul monary fibrosis.
Case 10. W.CD. was a 60-year-old white man who was admitted to the Seattle Veterans Administration Hospital because of extreme dyspnea, anorexia, and chest pain that had been progressive during the past year. He had worked as an asbestos handler for 40 years. He had noticed hemoptysis 3 months prior to admission. A chest roentgenogram revealed densities in both lower lobes compatible with asbestosis. A needle biopsy of the liver revealed metastatic anaplastic carcinoma. Roentgeno grams revealed osteolytic lesions of the verte brae and skull and Paget's disease of the left innominate bone. He was given X-ray ther apy to the lungs. The patient died on the third hospital day after progressive dyspnea. Autopsy revealed a malignant tumor appar ently arising in the right lower lobe bronchus and infiltrating the entire right lower lobe. A 3-5-cm. tumor nodule was seen beneath the pleura of the left lower lobe. The remain ing lung parenchyma was replaced by dense fibrous tissue. On microscopic section the tu mor revealed undifferentiated carcinoma with foci of necrosis. Asbestos bodies were iden tified in the tumor-bearing area.
Case 11. G.B. was a 64-year-old white man who was admitted to the hospital with com-
Ehunts of dyspnea on exertion for 3J4 years. [e had been exposed to asbestos and mag nesium for the previous 30 years. A roent genogram revealed a circumscribed density in
the posterior right lower lobe, with difluse emphysema. A nght lower lobectomy showed a firm but gelatinous tumor lying beneath the pleura. Microscopic examination revealed a mucous adenocarcinoma characteristic of bronchiolar carcinoma. Large club-shaped as bestos bodies were noted throughout the tu mor and in the adjacent fibrotic pulmonary tissue.
Results
Eleven cases in which asbestosis and car cinoma of the lung coexisted have been re viewed. Five cases were obtained from the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Wash ington, D.C.; among 20 cases of asbestosis on file at the Institute, an incidence of 25%. Twq cajes were included from the files of the Seattle Veterans Administration Hospital, Seattle, Wash.; among 6 cases of asbestosis, an incidence of 33.3%. Two cases were obtained from Firland Sanatorium, Seattle, Wash.; from a total of 6 proved cases of asbestosis, an incidence of 33%. The remaining 2 cases were from the Virginia Mason Hospital, Seattle, Wash.
Table 1 summarizes the major findings of interest in this series of patients. The mean age of the patients at the time the diagnosis of carcinoma of the lung was established was 62 years. There were 10 white patients and 1 Negro patient, all of whom were men. The

nicMti. duration of cxjtmurc to asbestos in 7 patients was 35 years. Carcinoma of the lung occurred most frequently in the right upper Jobe (6 cases). Five patients had a history of cigarette smoking for 20 yean or longer. There was no predominant cell type of card* noma of the lung in our series. Death was most commonly attributed to bronchopneu monia, lung abscess, and cor pulmonale.
Discussion
Asbestos is a magnesium silicate that is one of a group of silicate minerals of crystalline fibrillar structure.13 Industrially, the material is found in asbestos mining and in many in* dustrics engaged in the processing and manu facturing of asbestos products. These include insulating materials (fire resistant cloths, ropes, millboard, wallboard, mortar, and other prod ucts). The principal hazard in these industries consists of inhalation of the asbestos dust.
Some regard pulmonary asbestosis as a form of pneumoconiosis not necessarily accom panied by symptoms, whereas others feel the term should be reserved for cases in which clinical manifestations are present.39 The de velopment of pulmonary lesions that are char acterized by fibrosis and the formation of the so-called asbestos body depends upon the dura tion and degree of exposure to asbestos dust.9 Lynch19 provided a careful description of die pathogenesis of the disease and classified it into 4 stages. The lesions may appear after 3 to 15 years' exposure but may not produce symptoms for many years.13 There is con siderable individual variation in susceptibil ity. some individuals developing the disease rapidly while others may be exposed for years widiout evidence of pulmonary involvement. Symptoms of the disease consist of dyspnea, cough with expectoration, pallor, cyanosis, palpitation, weight loss, and chest pain.3*-33 Characteristic changes of pneumoconiosis' may be seen on roentgenographic examination.
The pathognomonic asbestos bodies are found in the interstitial connective tissue of the lung and in peribronchial and hilar lymph nodes.*-13 They consist of a central translu cent fiber, 10 to 100 ft in length and 1 to 12 p in diameter, enclosed in a golden-brown en crusted sheath composed of an iron protein compound. The ends are usually bulbous. The fibers may be surrounded by macrophages or giant cells. The fibrosis that accompanies the deposition of asbestos fibers tends to pro
gress even after exposure to inhalation has been discontinued.
The exact nature of the association be tween asliestosis and pulmonary carcinoma has been difficult to unravel. Since the first report by Lynch and Smith,31 many observations have been made concerning this relation ship,4- **,#-14 with the use of several different approaches to the problem.
it has been shown in a series of studies that there is a statistically proved higher incidence of carcinoma of the lung in patients with as bestosis than in the general population. One such .study, the results of which are given in the Annual Report of the Chief Inspector of Factories for the Year 1947 in Great Britain, established that carcinoma of the lung occurs in 13% of cases of asbestosis in contrast to the 2 to 6% incidence in the general popula tion.9
Doll,4 in similar studies, arrived at the con clusion that the risk of developing carcinoma of the lung was higher in individuals exposed for a long period of time to asbestos inhala tion. Nordmann,3* who published data on 6 cases, went even further to state that carci noma of the lung is an occupational disease, among people engaged in asbestos work. This opinion was also expressed by Homig.13
The-second point of interest concerns the multifocal development of cancer in these cases pointed out by Nordmann,33 Gloyne,9 anti Hueper.13 This feature has often char acterized the malignant turnon found in as bestosis and has also been noted in 2 of the cases presented in this report.
Finally, the age-time exposure relationship has supported die idea of a causal relation ship. The longer the exposure to asbestos, the greater the risk of developing a malignant tumor; and the younger the individual when fint exposed to asbestos dust, the earlier is the development of the pulmonary carcinoma. However, this relationship is not invariably' found.
As shown in the cases presented, 4 of the individuals had no known history of direct exposure to asbestos dust, and the diagnosis of asbestosis was made based entirely on the histological findings of pulmonary fibrosis as sociated with the presence of asbestos bodies. There are no documented cases in the litera ture to our knowledge of cases of asbestosis associated with carcinoma of the lung in which the patient had not been exposed at one time or another directly to asbestos dust, either in
