ABSTRACT
Pulmonary siderosis is one kind of pneumoconiosis caused by the long term inhalation of iron dust. Iron is deposited in the lungs, usually in the form of iron oxides. Iron oxides are relatively inert particles with a minimal fibrotic response. It occurs in a number of occupations including welding, steel rolling and grinding, casting, iron ore mining and oxyacetylene cutters. We have experienced the first case of pulmonary siderosis in Korea. A 42-year-old woman who had engaged in a metalware manufacturing factory as a manager for 7 years was admitted because of dyspnea on exertion. A pulmonary function test disclosed a mildly obstructive ventilatory defect. Open lung biosy revealed deposition of iron-laden macrophages in most alveolar spaces by which confirmed the diagnosis of pulmonary siderosis. We report a case of pulmonary siderosis with a review of the literature.
