CTICasesCobalt Pneumoconiosis
Imaging findings
Diffuse ground-glass opacities that evolved into a fibrotic, NSIP-like pattern over time.
Key takeaways
Exposure to hard metals, specifically cobalt, can lead to interstitial lung disease often characterized by "cannibalistic" giant cells on pathology. The imaging progression can mimic DIP or NSIP patterns.
