Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Until recently, asbestos was widely used in a variety of industrial processes. Workers exposed to asbestos may develop lung and pleural diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer, benign pleural effusion, pleural plaques and mesothelioma.
OBJECTIVE: To describe a clinical case of lung cancer in a female non-smoker with occupational exposure to asbestos.
METHODS: The clinical and occupational history was based on the information kindly provided by the Occupational Unit of the National Health Service and on the case history of a hospital admittance in 2001, when the patient underwent surgery for lung cancer.
RESULTS: The patient worked for 6 years in an asbestos manufacturing industry where she was exposed to high concentrations of asbestos, and then worked for 14 years in a sugar refinery only during the summer. She had benign pleural effusion, pleural plaques, asbestosis and lung cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: We concluded that a six-year exposure to high doses of asbestos may induce lung cancer and asbestosis in a female non-smoker.
