“…ELP is the most common type of lipoid pneumonia and has been reported as a result of aspiration or inhalation of oil substances (animal, vegetal, or mineral origin) [4,5,6,8]. In our case, no exogenous source was found initially.…”

“…Exogenous lipoid pneumonia (ELP) type is associated with the inhalation or aspiration of different oils. The clinical symptoms and radiological findings of ELP are nonspecific, depending on the patient's age, the amount of oily substances, and the length of the inhalation or aspiration period [1][2][3][4][5]. Different pulmonary diseases can resemble ELP.…”

“…Different pulmonary diseases can resemble ELP. The diagnosis of ELP is based on a history of exposure to oil and the presence of lipid-laden macrophages in sputum or bronchoalveolar lavage or histopathology specimens [1,5,6].…”

“…There are no standard protocols for the treatment of ELP, but recommendations include discontinuing exposure to the oily agent, oxygen therapy, lung lavage, systemic corticosteroids, and surgical resection of lung tissue unresponsive to medical treatment [1,4,5,6]. Various complications of ELP that can be found in the literature [7].…”

Introduction Exogenous lipoid pneumonia (ELP) is caused by inhalation or aspiration of different oily substances of animal, vegetable, or mineral origin. It can be in acute or chronic form. Herein, we report a case of ELP in its chronic form, confirmed in surgical lung biopsy. Case outline A 47-year-old male locomotive engineer, former smoker, without clinical symptoms, with a history of pneumonia two years previously, was referred to our institution. The operating diagnosis of multifocal subpleural tumors was made based on the chest computed tomography. A surgical lung biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of ELP. Conclusion Diagnosis of ELP is frequently made after surgical biopsy performed for suspected neoplasm, because of neglecting profesional exposure to mineral oils.

“…A giant cell reaction is then elicited, which further leads to fibrosis and disruption of alveoli and bronchus. 3,9,10 Almost 50% of the patients of lipoid pneumonia are asymptomatic and may be discovered by chance during routine chest imaging. In symptomatic patients also, the symptoms are nonspecific (chest pain, cough or dyspnea) and vary according to the duration of exposure, and amount of oil aspirated.…”

Idiopathic Lipoid Pneumonia: An incidental finding in autopsy specimen

et al. 2020

Lipoid pneumonia is a rare form of pneumonia which was initially described to be caused by inhalation or aspiration of fatty substances. Certain autopsy studies have reported the incidence to be 1.0-2.5%. Based on the mode of lipid acquisition, it has been classified into endogenous, exogenous or idiopathic types. Almost 50% of the patients with lipoid pneumonia are asymptomatic, and may be discovered by chance during routine chest imaging. In symptomatic patients, the symptoms are non-specific. However, it can produce inflammatory pneumonitis that can progress to irreversible pulmonary fibrosis as seen in our case. We present a case of a 53-year-old deceased male. A piece of one of his lungs was received after autopsy, which appeared normal grossly. There was no history of any illness before death. Microscopy revealed interstitial fibrosis with collection of foamy macrophages in alveolar spaces and cholesterol crystals surrounded by inflammatory reaction including occasional giant cells. The clinical picture and radiologic changes in cases of lipoid pneumonia can mimic bacterial pneumonia and tuberculosis. The occupational history is of extreme importance and should always be investigated.

Peer review declarationThe publisher (AOSIS) endorses the South African 'National Scholarly Book Publishers Forum Best Practice for Peer Review of Scholarly Books'. The manuscript underwent an evaluation to compare the level of originality with other published works and was subjected to rigorous two-step peer review before publication, with the identities of the reviewers not revealed to the editor(s) or author(s). The reviewers were independent of the publisher, editor(s), and author(s). The publisher shared feedback on the similarity report and the reviewers' inputs with the manuscript's editor(s) or author(s) to improve the manuscript. Where the reviewers recommended revision and improvements, the editor(s) or author(s) responded adequately to such recommendations. The reviewers commented positively on the scholarly merits of the manuscript and recommended that the book be published.v Research justificationThis book focuses on the environmental ergonomics of restaurant kitchens and the challenges related hereto in a semi-tropical city, Durban, from a chef's perspective. It establishes the urgent need for commercial kitchens to be conducive to the wellbeing of kitchen workers, as heat illness is unreported in this industry. This research is relevant from occupational health and safety point of view. It evaluates the indoor environmental quality (IEQ) parameters such as heat, ventilation and humidity, noise and lighting in kitchens, and it is cognisant that with different cuisines, the kitchen loads are different. The goal of occupational safety is health intervention for worker comfort to enhance work performance. The book generates new knowledge regarding the factors affecting the body mass index of kitchen workers, prediction of heat and humidity near cooking stoves, discomfort near ovens, lighting in preparation areas and factors affecting reaction to stove noise. The book implements an exploratory design with multiple-case studies. The manuscript is structured into broad chapters on heat, ventilation and humidity, noise and lighting. Data analysis is an essential component of new knowledge, and a detailed description will promote certain research concepts among scholars to acquire research skills. The themes move from the hospitality industry in general and narrow down to commercial kitchens and specifically aim at students learning and training in culinary skills. The book accordingly scrutinises theory in respect of the relationship between individual differences and contextual components, and it factored these into controlled heat in a work environment and other IEQ parameters. This book advances existing physical conditions, as well as physiological and psychological influences of these parameters in commercial kitchens on worker relief-seeking behaviour adaptations. A ground-breaking new framework that optimises workstation comfort levels of kitchen workers is presented, hence offering insightful environmental contributions to improve commercial kitchen design and awareness among kitchen designers, erg...
