[Chronic pneumonia caused by paraffin oil and pleural modifications: mesothelial hyperplasia and mesothelioma]. 1980

O Meyniard, and A Boissonnas, and M J Laisne, and C Laroche, and R Abelanet

A 82 years old woman with no past history of cardiac or pulmonary disease or asbestos exposure, but with chronic administration of paraffin oil as laxative, had lipid pneumonia and a primary neoplasic pleural effusion. From the reported case, the authors discuss the possible part of mineral oil as pleural carcinogenic factor (mesothelioma).

D008654 Mesothelioma A tumor derived from mesothelial tissue (peritoneum, pleura, pericardium). It appears as broad sheets of cells, with some regions containing spindle-shaped, sarcoma-like cells and other regions showing adenomatous patterns. Pleural mesotheliomas have been linked to exposure to asbestos. (Dorland, 27th ed) Mesotheliomas
D009821 Oils Unctuous combustible substances that are liquid or easily liquefiable on warming, and are soluble in ether but insoluble in water. Such substances, depending on their origin, are classified as animal, mineral, or vegetable oils. Depending on their behavior on heating, they are volatile or fixed. (Dorland, 28th ed)
D010232 Paraffin A mixture of solid hydrocarbons obtained from petroleum. It has a wide range of uses including as a stiffening agent in ointments, as a lubricant, and as a topical anti-inflammatory. It is also commonly used as an embedding material in histology. Parafilm
D010994 Pleura The thin serous membrane enveloping the lungs (LUNG) and lining the THORACIC CAVITY.

Between the two layers is the PLEURAL CAVITY which contains a thin film of liquid. Parietal Pleura,Visceral Pleura,Pleura, Parietal,Pleura, Visceral
