TI  - Diffuse interstitial fibrosis in nonasbestos pneumoconiosis--a pathological 
      study.
PG  - 120-6
AB  - Pathological examinations of 233 consecutive autopsy cases with nonasbestos 
      pneumonconiosis revealed evidence of diffuse interstitial fibrosis (DIF) in 64 
      (27.5%), among whom 45 (19.3%) showed bilateral involvement and 9 (3.9%) 
      extensive disease closely resembling usual interstitial pneumonia. The patients 
      with DIF were significantly older and had longer occupational histories as 
      compared with those without DIF. There was no correlation between the occurrence 
      of DIF and the type of the underlying disease (silicosis or mixed dust 
      pneumoconiosis) except that an extensive DIF was more frequently associated with 
      mixed dust pneumoconiosis. The extensive DIF developed an in situ malignancy much 
      more frequently (33.3%) than the focal disease (2.6%).
