Key result
Mixed-dust pneumoconiosis linked to primary pleural angiosarcoma in an adult autopsy case.
Why the study?
The association between pneumoconiosis and the development of primary pleural angiosarcoma is not well established.
Case Report (n=1)
This case suggests that pneumoconiosis-associated pathologies may be risk factors for the development of pleural angiosarcoma.

Pneumoconiosis may be a risk factor for pleural angiosarcoma; hypothesis-generating case leaves association unconfirmed.
Matsuda et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Pleural angiosarcoma associated with pneumoconiosis (n=1). Pneumoconiosis was evaluated on Autopsy findings. An autopsy case of an adult male revealed primary pleural angiosarcoma with mix-dust pathological findings, suggesting pneumoconiosis may be a risk factor for pleural angiosarcoma.
