Hepatosplenic silicosis, a rare complication of pulmonary silicosis, presents with characteristic calcifications in the spleen, liver, and lymph nodes. Definitive diagnosis requires pathological examination of liver biopsies revealing birefringent particles.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Silicosis is a progressive fibrotic lung disease caused by inhaling silica dust.
  • Hepatosplenic involvement is an uncommon manifestation of silicosis.
  • This case highlights a rare complication of pulmonary silicosis.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with complications of pulmonary silicosis.
  • Radiological imaging revealed numerous calcified splenic nodules, hepatic microcalcifications, and "egg shell" abdominal lymph nodes.
  • Computed tomography (CT) provided the best visualization of these findings.

Findings:

  • The radiological signs suggested hepatosplenic silicosis.
  • Pathological examination of liver biopsies was crucial for confirmation.

  • Birefringent particles within hyalinized nodules confirmed the diagnosis.

    • Implications:

    • Early recognition of radiological signs is important for suspecting hepatosplenic silicosis.
    • Pathological confirmation remains the gold standard for diagnosis.
    • Understanding rare manifestations aids in comprehensive patient management.
