Archivos de Bronconeumología

Our medical research library holds 6 studies published in Archivos de Bronconeumología (2018–2020). Each entry links to the study's record on PubMed and, where there is one, to the publisher's page and a free full text. 0 have an abstract, the authors' own summary as PubMed records it: open "Abstract" to read it. For 1 study PubMed has no abstract for, we give the abstract printed in the article or, where there is none, a summary we wrote from it, each labeled as such.

  Summary

  In this letter, the authors described a 78-year-old man with a history of 13 years of occupational asbestos exposure who presented with shortness of breath (dyspnea). He had packed asbestos-containing waste materials until the age of 50, giving a latency period of 28 years. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed an irregular, uncalcified pleural plaque in the front of the right side of the chest. One year later the plaque had flattened and extended to the area behind the breastbone (retrosternal mediastinum) and to the pleural space on the other side. A small soft-tissue mass around the abdominal aorta below the kidneys was also found. A biopsy taken through the chest wall showed storiform fibrosis with polyclonal lymphoplasmacytic and plasma cell infiltration. Plasma cells expressed immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4), with an IgG4/IgG ratio above 50%. The serial IgG4 concentration was high (5920 mg/L). The final diagnosis was IgG4-related bridging pleural fibrosis with retrosternal fibrosclerosis, together with a subtle retroperitoneal soft-tissue mass. The authors noted that typical asbestos-related pleural fibrosis appears as bilateral, partially calcified plaques, which is quite different from this patient's findings. They reviewed reports suggesting that asbestos might trigger IgG4-related disease through allergic-type immune responses. They concluded that the case highlighted, as previously suggested, a possible association between asbestos exposure and these conditions.
