Abstract:
Mediastinal nodes evidenced in a patient referred for an expert opinion concerning an occupational disease were found to have a sarcoid-like character. The patient was a former smoker who had been exposed to asbestos for 27 years. The patient also had an ENT neoplasia. The nodal enlargements evidenced at mediastinoscopy were the only manifestations compatible with sarcoidosis, a rare association recognized in asbestosis.
