Overview

Pneumoconiosis may be classified according to subtypes based on the particle of exposure. These can be fibrogenic, granulomatous, benign or hard metal: [1] [2]

Classification

Pneumoconiosis in combination with multiple pulmonary rheumatoid nodules in rheumatoid arthritis patients is known as Caplan's syndrome.[3] [4] [5]
