“…The link between TB and anthracosis has previously been proposed. 11 In this TB hypothesis, the bronchial infiltration by the adjacent TB lymphadenopathy is considered to continuously fistulise the wall of the bronchus with caseous granulomatous inflammation and later lead to local fibrosis, 9 as well as cause dark pigmentations. 6 However, whether Mycobacterium tuberculosis is one of the main causes in the development of bronchial anthracosis or that people with bronchial anthracosis are more susceptible to pulmonary TB are still unclear and further studies are required.…”

“…While interpreting the anthracotic pigment seen on TBLB, the identification of the pigment and its location and associated tissue reaction needs to be correlated to the rest of the biopsy pathology to ascertain its significance. A previous study 9 had evaluated and defined to a certain extent the clinical, radiological and bronchoscopic findings of patients of anthracofibrosis. However, no study has focused on the biopsy pathology of these patients and the parenchymal tissue reaction to the same.…”

“…However, BAF was not associated with pulmonary tuberculosis, which contradicts the findings of previous reports 3, 8, 12−14) . BAC is characterized by the deposition and accumulation of extrinsic particles such as coal dust and biomass fuel smoke in the lymph nodes as anthracite particles; it is also characterized by the tattooing of the bronchial wall surface by various particles, namely, anthracite and biomass fuel smoke 15) . The mechanism by which BAF by which it develops is not yet clear, although occupational coal exposure is believed to be a major source of the carbon particles 10,11) .…”
