  • Title: Cytological detection of a peripheral lung carcinoma in a coke oven worker.
    Author: Teplitz RL, Belman MJ, Nathwani B, Valco Z, Yokota S.
    Journal: J Occup Med; 1980 Jun; 22(6):413-5. PubMed ID: 7373456.
    Abstract:
    OSHA mandated programs of pulmonary cytology among coke oven workers have resulted in detection of a number of unsuspected tumors. While it is too early to determine the eventual impact of these programs, this report describes the detection of a 0.3 cm peripheral lesion, believed to the smallest identified by cytology. In addition to being diminutive, the tumor proved to be of the epidermoid type, unusual for the location. Further investigation is required to determine whether peripheral epidermoid neoplasms are associated with exposure to coke oven vapors.
