Inhalational Pulmonary Talcosis
Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 2004We describe the high-resolution CT findings in 3 patients with pulmonary talcosis acquired by the inhalation of talc. The predominant abnormalities consisted of small centrilobular and subpleural nodules and conglomerated masses containing focal areas of high attenuation consistent with talc deposition.

Fulminant pulmonary intravascular talcosis
Canadian Journal of Respiratory, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine, 2017ABSTRACTPulmonary talcosis is still underrecognized. Two types of lung diseases have been described: talc pneumoconiosis and intravascular pulmonary talcosis. A young woman presenting with acute right ventricle failure as the initial presentation is reported.

Pulmonary Ventilatory Function in Talcosis of Lung
Diseases of the Chest, 1964Pulmonary ventilatory function tests were performed in 20 workers who were engaged in the process of milling or mining of talc and who had clinical and roentgenographic findings compatible with talc pneumoconiosis. These workers were exposed for an average of 23 years to dusts containing predominantly talc admixed with other silicates (tremolite and ...

Pulmonary talcosis from cosmetic talcum powder.
JAMA, 1972The habitual use of large amounts of cosmetic talcum powder produced significant pulmonary talcosis in a 39-year-old black truck driver. Pulmonary disease was apparent on his chest roentgenogram, and was initially interpreted as miliary tuberculosis. The patient died from peritonitis following infarction of large segments of small intestine.

Pulmonary talcosis due to intravenous drug abuse
2021Clinical History: A 44-year-old male presented to the cardiologist complaining of long-lasting progressive dyspnoea, worsening on exertion. In the last 10 days, he experienced mild fever and was treated with antibiotics for pneumonia, without significant improvement. He reported illicit drug use and had been on substitutional methadone therapy.

Talcosis Associated with IV Abuse of Oral Medications
American Journal of Roentgenology, 2000Our objective was to evaluate the CT appearance of talcosis associated with IV abuse of oral medications and to compare the findings of talcosis related to methylphenidate with those findings seen with other drugs.The CT scans of 12 patients with talcosis (seven men, five women), 33-54 years old (mean age, 44 years), were analyzed retrospectively ...

Pulmonary talcosis: CT findings in three cases.
Radiology, 1993The authors describe the computed tomographic (CT) appearances in three patients with pulmonary talcosis resulting from chronic intravenous drug abuse. There was widespread ground-glass attenuation in one case and an appearance similar to that of progressive massive fibrosis in two cases.

Particle size for differentiation between inhalation and injection pulmonary talcosis
Environmental Research, 1980Abstract Light microscopic measurement of the size of birefringent particles in 11 cases of pulmonary talcosis provides differentiation between injection and inhalation origin. The mean particle diameter (±SD) in inhalation cases was 3.7 ± 2.9 μm and in injection cases was 14.2 ± 9.0 μm ( P 5 μm) should raise the suspicion of injection as the ...

[Pulmonary intravascular talcosis: A case report].
La Revue de medecine interne, 2018Pulmonary intravascular talcosis is a rare condition occurring in intravenous drug users injecting oral medications. Talc results in a foreign-body granulomatous reaction giving a radiological haematogenic miliary appearance mimicking miliary tuberculosis.

Mixed pneumoconiosis: silicosis, asbestosis, talcosis, and berylliosis.
Chest, 1979Mixed pneumoconiosis is pulmonary disease due to two or more inhaled mineral irritants. Chronic disease due to beryllium has not been a component of any described mixed pneumoconiosis. A man with occupational exposure to a combination of dusts developed severe pulmonary disease. Silicosis, talcosis, asbestosis, and berylliosis were all documented by an
