The minerological analysis of parietal pleura samples in cases with enviromentally exposed to mineral fibers

Amaç: Asbest liflerinin inhalasyonu solunum sisteminde birçok neoplastik ve neoplastik olmayan hastalık oluşumuna neden olur. Eskişehir yöresinde asbest nedenli akciğer hastalıkları sıktır. Daha önceki çalışmalarda ak

Çevrsel mineral liflere maruz kalan olguların parietal plevra örneklerinin minerolojik analizi

Purpose: Inhalation of asbestos fibers results in a variety of neoplastic and nonneoplastic diseases of the respiratory tract. Asbestos related chest disease are endemic in the rural region of Eskisehir in Turkey. It has been demonstrated that the cause of this can be related to exposure to dust generated from a white-soil toprak örneklerinde tremolite ya da tremolite ve chrysocontaining tremolite and/or tremolite-chrysotile mixture. tile lifleri ile kontaminasyon olduğu saptanmıştı. Materials and methods: We have performed a minerological analysis by electron microscope of the dust contained in samples of tumor in the parietal pleura of cases arising in these rural areas. The results of the examination of the initial 8 cases are presented. Of the 8 cases, 4 had malignant pleural mesothelioma, 2 adenocarcinoma, 1 malignant melanoma, and 1 benign mesothelioma. Lengths and diameters of asbestos fibers were measured from the electron micrographs. Results: Tremolite, chrysotile and sepiolite fibres were
