Giant-cell interstitial pneumonia in a gas station worker.
Giant-cell interstitial Pneumonia (GIP) is a very uncommon respiratory disease. The majority of cases of GIP are caused by exposure to cobalt, tungsten and other hard metals. In this report, we describe GIP in a patient who worked in gas station and dealt in propane gas vessels. He presented with clinical features of chronic interstitial lung disease and underwent an open lung biopsy that showe...
متن کاملLipoid Pneumonia in a Gas Station Attendant
The exogenous lipoid pneumonia, uncommon in adults, is the result of the inhalation and/or aspiration of lipid material into the tracheobronchial tree. This is often confused with bacterial pneumonia and pulmonary tuberculosis due to a nonspecific clinical and radiologic picture. It presents acutely or chronically and may result in pulmonary fibrosis. We describe here a case of lipoid pneumonia...

In the histopathological evaluation of bone biopsy, two distinct populations of cells including multinucleated giant cells and oval cells which embedded in a fibro-osseous stroma and surrounded by lamellar bone trabecula...
متن کاملAn observational study of giant cell interstitial pneumonia and lung fibrosis in hard metal lung disease
BACKGROUND Hard metal lung disease has various pathological patterns including giant cell interstitial pneumonia (GIP) and usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP). Although the UIP pattern is considered the prominent feature in advanced disease, it is unknown whether GIP finally progresses to the UIP pattern. OBJECTIVES To clarify clinical, pathological and elemental differences between the GIP an...
متن کاملInterstitial pneumonia developed in a worker dealing with particles containing indium-tin oxide.
The use of indium compounds in the electronics and semiconductor industry has risen sharply from the 1990s, and indium demand increased to a record 335 tons in 2000 in Japan, which was about 5 times that in 1990. Indium-tin oxide (ITO) is a sintered alloy containing a large portion of indium oxide and a small portion of tin oxide, and is used in the making of thin-film transistor liquid crystal...
