“…Although the etiology of IPF remains unknown, IPF is known to be associated with lung cancer [1±10]. Since Callahan et al [4] reported lung cancers with IPF in 1958, high incidence of lung cancer in IPF patients has been repeatedly reported [1±3,5±8,10]. Various incidence rates of lung cancer in IPF patients have been reported in the literature, ranging from 9.8% [3] to 17.8% [14].…”

“…In reviewing reports on Hamman-Rich syndrome we found several cases associated with diseases capable of chronic antibody stimulation (Hamman andRich, 1933, 1944;Eder et al, 1945;Rubin and Lubliner, 1957;Callahan et al, 1952). These range from syphilis in Hamman and Rich's original reports to brucellosis in Callahan's (1952) work.…”

We sought to explore immunological factors in patients who died with rapidly fatal fibrosing lung diseases (Hamman-Rich syndrome). A retrospective review of cases of interstitial lung disease showed 12 recent deaths from Hamman-Rich syndrome.The mean age was 62, men outnumbering women 3: 1. Five patients had proved collagen vascular disease (rheumatoid arthritis three, lupus two). Four others had a history of allergic disorders, syphilis, chronic eosinophilia, or hypersensitivity reactions.One patient showed disappearance of immunofluorescence as fibrosis advanced, which has not previously been reported. The study suggests a possible aetiological link between disorders of immunity and Hamman-Rich syndrome. The evidence also supports the notion that Hamman-Rich syndrome is an accelerated variant of the more indolent interstitial pneumonias.

“…It has been reported that diffuse interstitial pulmonary fibrosis is associated with lung cancer (Callahan et al 1952;Spain 1957;Meyer and Liebow 1965;Turner-Warwick et al 1980a), and the prevalence of lung cancer in patients with pulmonary fibrosis ranges from 4.4% (Tukiainen et al 1983) to 40.4% (Matsuoka and Kira 1983). However, most previous reports have included pulmonary fibrosis associated with known causes, and the association between lung cancer and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has not been fully investigated.…”

We investigated lung cancer in 99 patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Lung cancer was found in 31 (31.3%) of 99 patients with IPF. Most (87.9%) tumors, including squamous cell carcinoma, were observed in the peripheral region of the lung, whereas the distribution of histologic types of cancers was similar to that seen in ordinary lung cancer. Peripheral tumors were frequently seen in the lower lobe, where fibrotic shadow was prominent. However, the severity of fibrosis was not related with the prevalence or histologic type of lung cancer. Two-thirds of IPF patients having a smoking history of over 40 years developed lung cancer. When compared with nonsmoking IPF control subjects, the relative risk of smoking in IPF patients was 3.5, identical with that reported for smokers in the general population. We suggest that smoking in patients with IPF is an additive risk factor for the development of lung cancer. We also speculate that the high prevalence of peripheral squamous cell carcinoma might be associated with cigarette smoking. lung cancer ; smoking ; idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
