Özet
Silicosis, a progressive, fibrotic occupational lung disease with no known treatment, is an uncommon indication for lung transplant. There is a paucity of research on patients with silicosis who have received lung transplants. The long-term consequences of the native lung in patients with severe chronic silicosis who have had a single-lung transplant are also of interest. We present a case of amyloidosis in a patient who underwent a single-lung transplant for silicosis.
