PATHOLOGICAL ANATOMY OF PNEUMOCONIOSIS

Abstract

This article discusses the pathological anatomy of pneumoconiosis, a group of occupational lung diseases caused by the inhalation of various types of industrial dust. The study highlights the morphological changes in lung tissues, including fibrosis, inflammation, and nodule formation, as well as their clinical significance. Various types of pneumoconiosis such as silicosis, coal workers’ pneumoconiosis, and asbestosis are analyzed in terms of their anatomical features and progression. The article also explores the diagnostic importance of pathological findings and their role in determining the stage and severity of the disease.
