Lung, 2010Talc is a mineral widely used in the ceramic, paper, plastics, rubber, paint, and cosmetic industries. Four distinct forms of pulmonary disease caused by talc have been defined. Three of them (talcosilicosis, talcoasbestosis, and pure talcosis) are associated with aspiration and differ in the composition of the inhaled substance.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Blue Bodies in Cytology Specimens in a Case of Pulmonary Talcosis
American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1984Unusual extracellular birefringent laminated ovoid structures are seen in bronchial brushing, aspiration, and washing specimens in a 28-year-old woman who had histologic evidence of pulmonary talcosis. Energy dispersive x-ray analysis and microchemical studies have identified them to be calcium carbonate.
