    AbstractAsbestos exposure results in an increased risk of nonmalignant as well as of malignant pulmonary and pleural disease. The asbestos-related disease are inexorably progressive (cancer) or insidious (fibrosis), untreatable and widespread in the industrialized and urban world. The identification of these diseases is important because therapy and prognosis differ from the other pulmonary fibrosis. The case reports indicate that careful clinical and histologic examination allows proper diagnosis. Two patients with asbestos-related disease after asbestos exposure are described.
