Abstract
We reported an autopsy case of pulmonary asbestosis complicated with secondary bronchitis and rheumatoid arthritis. This case died due to respiratory failure, and differed from ordinary pulmonary asbestosis in the unusual early progression of clinical course. Autopsy revealed foci of rheumatoid type superimposed upon pulmonary asbestosis in the lung, and extensive bronchoectasis. We discussed 5 previously reported cases of pulmonary asbestosis complicated with rheumatoid arthritis.
