概要

論文の詳細を見る
A case of chromate worker with pulmonary carcinoma was reported. The concentration of chromium in the resected lung tissue was as remarkably high as 26μg/g wet weight. The primary lesion of pulmonary carcinoma was in the peripheral region of the lung and the histological examination revealed adenocarcinoma. In the past reports in Japan concerning pulmonary carcinoma among chromate workers, we could not find any case with adenocarcinoma any case with pulmonary carcinoma in the peripheral region either. It is considered that the differentiation between spontaneous pulmonary carcinoma and pulmonary carcinomas due to chromate in hation is difficult.
