title: [Chronic berylliosis of the lungs].
abstract: An autopsy case of the chronic lung berylliosis in a patient having an occupational contact with a beryllium bronze is described. Clinically the disease had no specific features and was diagnosed as chronic obstructive bronchitis and pneumosclerosis. Sclerotic granulomas with giant cells, conchoidal bodies, iron deposition in the pulmonary stroma--all these lung alterations allowed one to establish a diagnosis of lung berylliosis.
