Mesothelioid reaction following talc pleurodesis: a case report
…Such a mesothelioid reaction can clinically and radiographically mimic malignant mesothelioma. We conclude that Talc pleurodesis played a causative role in this patient developing an intense mesothelioid reaction. A mesothelioid reaction should be included in the…

Can serum inflammatory parameters estimate outcome of pleurodesis in mesothelioma?
…be desirable. This study was aimed to investigate whether systemic inflammatory reaction induced by insuflation of talc into the pleura can predict the outcome of pleurodesis. A total of 58 consecutive patients (26 men, 32 women…

Pulmonary granulomatous reaction: talc pneumoconiosis or chronic sarcoidosis?
A chronic pulmonary granulomatous reaction was associated with an almost identical clinical picture in two patients exposed to talc. In both patients lung biopsy showed the deposition of talc particles and a heavy granulomatous reaction. At…

Morbidity and Mortality in Talc Granuloma: Report of a Fatal Case
This 1948 article reported one fatal case of talc granuloma, a reaction to talcum powder used on surgical gloves and rubber drains. The patient, a woman, was first operated on in December 1942, at age 36…

Pulmonary talc granulomatosis. A complication of drug abuse
…who had injected methylphenidate (Ritalin) tablets into their veins. Granulomatosis here means small clusters of inflammatory cells forming in the lungs in reaction to talc particles. The authors explained that talc is used as a filler…

Positive FDG-PET/CT of the pleura twenty years after talc pleurodesis: three cases of benign talcoma
…This inflammatory reaction could decrease with time, as in other inflammatory processes. Since talc is not metabolized by the body, the FDG-PET scan can remain positive, most likely because of a foreign-body granulomatous reaction…

Tissue response to intraperitoneal asbestos with preliminary report of acute toxicity of heart-treated asbestos in mice
…plaques and invasive granulomas, while none of 12 talc mice did. The authors described the reaction as histologically similar to mesothelioma but obtained no morphologic evidence of actual malignancy. In a second experiment, asbestos heated to…

Pleural granuloma mimicking malignancy 42 years after slurry talc injection for primary spontaneous pneumothorax
…malignant cells or asbestos fibers. Keyhole surgery was converted to open surgery and the pleura was removed. The pathologist diagnosed chronic granulomatous pleuritis caused by a foreign body reaction, likely talc. Only on detailed questioning did…
