6 8003 1457 The microcospic examination of the cancerfree segments of the Hung showed an aeHjestosis which cuold well "be compared, where degree and extent are concerned, with the> uncomplicated death cases. In the left lower lobe a strongly decaying calcifying squamous epithelium carcinoma, which contained asbestos needles and asbestos particles. In the lower left lobe there was another^segment which attracted attention because of its hardness (ill.5). The|microscopic examination showed here a pronounced wild growth of the broncial epithelium, which was spreading in limited areas as a true carcinoma. The lungs were, in the areas of callouses and alveolar caverns, as rich in macrophagi and giant cells as was case 5. We summarise the quoted cases and those of our own observation of asbestosis and carcinoma in a chart: Chart 1.
