We report a case of lung cancer arising from progressive massive fibrosis (PMF) associated with pneumoconiosis. In this case, fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) was able to clearly distinguish the lung cancer from PMF, suggesting a potential usefulness of FDG-PET in cancer screening in patients with pneumoconiosis. To our knowledge, this is the first description of an FDG-PET image of lung cancer arising from PMF.

A 76-year-old man with a past history of pneumoconiosis visited the Department of Gastroenterology in our hospital suffering from dysphagia. Gastroscopy revealed an esophageal ulcer on the top of a torus lesion. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed it was caused by a swollen lymph node in the mediastinum. Squamous cell carcinoma related antigen (SCC) was elevated to 1.8 ng/ml. To rule out malignancy, we performed fluorine-18 deoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDGPET) which revealed a significantly increased uptake in a nodular lesion in the right upper lobe and mediastinal lymph nodes. Biopsy and cytology of the nodular lesion revealed only pneumoconiosis. We must be careful when we interpret the findings of FDGPET in pneumoconiosis patients.

Major death cause among occupational diseases patients is cardiovascular disorder. Early diagnosis is required to predict heart disorders in occupational risk group. Rhythmocardiography helped to define autonomous cardioneuropathy on background of vibration disease, pneumoconiosis, chronic occupational fluorine-manganese intoxication--this is a pathogenetic basis for early clinical manifestation of CHD.
