Silicosis with Basal Fibrosis

Imaging findings

Clustered, dense, calcified nodules, eggshell lymph node calcifications, and mosaic attenuation in a former miner, accompanied by unusual basilar fibrosis and honeycomb cysts.

Key takeaways

While classic silicosis is upper-lobe predominant, current mining practices may lead to mixed dust exposures causing atypical basilar fibrosis.
