Esophageal compression in association with silicosis and Mycobacterium intracellulare

RF Rodgers, MI Applebaum and RM Heredia

Scalene lymph node biopsy revealed silicosis, and tissue cultures grew Mycobacterium intracellulare. We believe our patient is the first reported to have dysphagia due to silicotic adenopathy complicated by an atypical mycobacteriosis.
