[Cranio-mandibular eosinophilic granuloma starting in the lung]. / Granulome éosinophile cranio-mandibulaire à début pulmonaire

The authors describe the case of a young man with a worsening general condition who was found to be suffering from bilateral pulmonary infiltration. Pulmonary tuberculosis was diagnosed after clinical and radiological investigation and specific antituberculous treatment was instituted. When the patient later complained of headaches, he was found to have cranial and mandibular lacunae which were treated surgically. Pathological examination showed this to be a case of eosinophilic granuloma.

[Three new cases of pulmonary fibrosis in finishers of tools reinforced with tungsten carbide (author's transl)]. / A propos de trois nouveaux cas de fibrose pulmonaire chez des affûteurs d'outils renforcés au carbure de tungsténe.

On the basis of three new cases of pulmonary fibrosis due to heavy metals, the authors review the various clinical, radiological and respiratory function test criteria which lead to the diagnosis of this type of occupational fibrosis. This is an uncommon disease (21 cases published up to the present in France), insufficiently known, but with significant and sometimes severe risks. On July 19th 1980, the disease was added to the list of occupational diseases with No 70.
