Definition:
*Interstitial lung disease due to asbestos exposure.<ref name=Ref_PCPBoD8_375>{{Ref PCPBoD8|375}}</ref>
**Important to diagnose... asbestosis = compensation.
 
Conditions associated with asbestos exposure (mnemonic ''PALM''):<ref name=Ref_PCPBoD8_375>{{Ref PCPBoD8|375}}</ref>
*[[Pleural plaques]].
*Asbestosis.
*[[Lung carcinoma]].
*[[Malignant mesothelioma]].
 
 
Possible association with asbestos exposure:
