History Physical Exam
• A 32-year-old male initially presented in 1991 complaining of dyspnea on exertion and a non-productive morning cough for two years.
• He was a lifelong nonsmoker and had worked for 15 years as an underground coal miner, transporting coal in a rubber-tired vehicle.
• Five years later, he sought reevaluation due to worsening dyspnea and productive cough.
• His lungs were clear and the cardiovascular examination was normal.
![Page 18: Anwser,s 11](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081507/554b1206b4c9055d098b49fc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Lab
• The chest radiograph in 1991 was normal (Figure 1.1)
• Five years after initial presentation, blood gases at rest on room air showed mild hypoxia (PaO2 73 mm Hg).
• The radiograph then demonstrated multiple bilateral small opacities, as shown in Figure 1.2.

Question 1• What is the most likely diagnosis for this
patient?• A. Silicosis • B. Asbestosis • C. Lung cancer • D. Coal Workers’ Pneumoconiosis (CWP) • E. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
(COPD)
![Page 21: Anwser,s 11](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081507/554b1206b4c9055d098b49fc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Tuesday, April 11, 2023
DISCUSSION• CWP is an interstitial lung disease that occurs due to the inflammatory reaction to inhaled coal mine dusts. • When lung clearance mechanisms are overwhelmed, numerous black coal macules develop in the lung parenchyma
adjacent to the respiratory bronchioles (1). • As CWP progresses, the macules enlarge and develop into fibrotic coal nodules with associated emphysema. • Radiographically, the pathologic changes of CWP manifest as small rounded opacities less than 10 mm in diameter.
Historically, the opacities generally have generally appeared after at least 15-20 years of exposure, although there are recent reports of more rapidly progressive disease (2).
• The International Labor Office (ILO) has devised a classification system to describe and quantify the changes of pneumoconiosis on chest radiograph (3).
• The ILO classification scores the profusion (number of small pneumoconiotic opacities per unit area of lung) from 0 to 3. • Early (category 1) CWP may produce few or no symptoms. • However, dust exposure can also lead to chronic bronchitis (even in the absence of smoking tobacco), which results in
cough, sputum production and wheeze. As CWP progresses, dyspnea becomes severe, and affected patients can develop cor pulmonale, respiratory failure and death (4, 5).
• Although silicosis can be a more rapidly developing disease which occurs in underground coal miners, the specific mining job of this patient does not involve activities (e.g., drilling or roof bolting) that typically generate exposure to airborne silica.
• However, mining of thin coal seams can create silica exposures in general mining activities, as performed by this worker. • Asbestosis typically causes interstitial lung changes that are more pronounced in the lower lung zones, and have a more
reticular rather than nodular appearance. • Although both COPD and CWP can cause changes of obstruction and hyperinflation on a chest radiograph, the small
nodules seen on this patient’s chest radiograph would not be typical for COPD. • Lung cancer can cause multiple pulmonary nodules, but the time course and clinical picture in this patient are more
consistent with CWP.

Tuesday, April 11, 2023
History Continued:• The patient ceased employment in 1997 due to a back
injury, after having worked 21 years in the mines. • He was seen with worsening dyspnea in 2000, at the
age of 41. • He denies any other complaints, such as fevers, chills
or sputum production. • Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) showed an FEV1 of
58% predicted and an FVC of 74% predicted. • A chest radiograph was taken at that time (Figure 1.3).

Question 2• What is the most likely diagnosis to explain
this patient’s new findings?• A. Multiple Arterio-Venous (AV) Malformations • B. Primary Adenocarcinoma of the Lung • C. Active M. tuberculosis infection • D. Progressive Massive Fibrosis (PMF) • E. Metastatic Cancer from an unknown
primary source
![Page 25: Anwser,s 11](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081507/554b1206b4c9055d098b49fc/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Tuesday, April 11, 2023
DISCUSSION• Both coal and silica dust exposures trigger inflammation of the airways and the interstitium, and pneumoconiosis
can continue to progress for years after termination of all dust exposure (1). • This is one reason why primary prevention through dust control is critical. • Inflammatory nodules can coalesce to form PMF (also called complicated pneumoconiosis), which is recognized on
the chest radiograph as one or more lesions 10mm in diameter or greater. • After PMF develops, the fibrosis and associated emphysema often progress even without further dust exposure, as
was the case with this patient. • Adjacent lung parenchyma is pulled towards the lesions, which most typically occur in the upper lung. • The large airways are distorted as lung volume is lost and lung function may show obstructive and/or restrictive
impairments.• An enlarging PMF lesion can be difficult to distinguish from malignancy, particularly if unilateral. • Silica dust exposure is known to increase the risk of primary lung cancer Also, PMF lesions are frequently PET-
positive, which can add to the diagnostic confusion (6). • However, the bilateral masses on this nonsmoking patient’s chest radiograph are typical of PMF, and his clinical
course makes primary or secondary lung cancer unlikely. • Exposure to silica dusts increases the risk of developing TB and nontuberculous mycobacterial infections (7). • This is likely due to a dysfunction in cellular immunity. • Miners who have inhaled excessive respirable silica and are subsequently exposed to mycobacteria are more likely
to develop active disease. • Although mycobacterial disease should be considered in this patient, there is no cavitation and the radiographic
appearance is more typical of CWP than TB.• Arteriovenous malformations can present as large masses, typically in the lower lung zones. • They are usually accompanied by feeder vessels that can sometimes be identified on a chest radiograph. • Bilateral upper lung zone lesions, as seen in this case, are not suggestive of AV malformations.

Tuesday, April 11, 2023
History Continued:• Over the next four years, the patient’s
dyspnea progressively worsened, and he died in 2004 at the age of 45 from respiratory failure secondary to coal workers’ pneumoconiosis with PMF.
![Page 27: Anwser,s 11](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081507/554b1206b4c9055d098b49fc/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Question 3• Which of the following measures is/are likely to be
effective in preventing development of PMF among US coal miners?
• A. Decreasing the prevalence of smoking and the number of cigarettes smoked
• B. Decrease the number of infections with M. tuberculosis among coal miners
• C. Decreasing the exposure to inhaled coal mine dust • D. Decrease the work intensity required by miners
![Page 28: Anwser,s 11](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081507/554b1206b4c9055d098b49fc/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Tuesday, April 11, 2023
DISCUSSION• Advanced CWP, defined as ILO category 2 or greater, is caused by excessive
exposure to respirable coal and/or silica dusts, and greatly increases the risk of development of PMF and important physiologic impairment (8).
• As part of the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969, coal mine operators are required to observe a permissible exposure limit (PEL) for respirable dust of 2.0 mg/m3 (9) .
• The goal of this dust limit is not only to decrease the overall incidence of CWP, but also to decrease the incidence of advanced CWP to nearly zero, and thus prevent miners from developing PMF.
• However, a small proportion of miners have been observed to develop PMF with an underlying profusion category of 1 or 0 and thus PMF was not completely prevented (10).
• A number of studies have shown that PMF development is not accelerated by tobacco smoking, nor is it dependent on Mycobacterial infection.
• Most operating coal mines are highly mechanized, which generally has reduced work intensity during mine work, but also results in high rates of dust generation.

• This is an example of a lung with more advanced disease.• Note pleural thickening at the base. • The normally smooth, lateral pleural margin shows
architectural distortion, which is caused by irregular, subpleural fibrosis (causing subpleural nodules on HRCT).
• Find a small subpleural scar (subpleural nodule)• Compare the abnormal parenchyma in the upper lateral,
subpleural region to the more normal parenchyma medially. What is the abnormality?
• Honeycombing, consisting of small cystic spaces with thick walls (more on honeycombing later).
