Talc induced pulmonary granulomatosis: An under recognized complication in patients with cystic fibrosis
Journal Title: Journal of Modern Human Pathology - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Talc induced pulmonary granulomatosis is a known pulmonary condition that is associated with intravenous drug exposure. Only one documented case of talc induced pulmonary granulomatosis in a patient with cystic fibrosis (CF) has been reported in the literature. We add another case of such condition. Our goal is to increase the awareness of this under recognized potential cause of CF related pulmonary induced fibrosis and hypertension. Patients with risk factors and with findings similar to the reported patient may benefit from further clinical and pathological evaluation for talc induced pulmonary granulomatosis.
