Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the high-resolution CT findings of silicoproteinosis. CONCLUSION: Silicoproteinosis usually manifests as bilateral consolidation in the posterior portions of the lungs and as numerous centrilobular nodules. Calcification within areas of consolidation is a common finding.
