ABSTRACT:
INTRODUCTION: Silicosis is a spectrum of lung diseases caused by the inhalation of silica (silicon dioxide), which can manifest in different forms and at varying times. Brazilian estimates from 2010, based on formally employed workers, indicate approximately 6 million people exposed to silica. The disease presents symptoms such as cough, dyspnea, and weight loss, with imaging exams being fundamental for an adequate diagnosis. OBJECTIVES: To understand the pathophysiology and clinical presentation of silicosis; to recognize how imaging exams aid in the diagnosis of the disease.
