摘要

矽肺病是一种慢性肺部疾病，由长期吸入结晶二氧化硅颗粒引起，经常在接触二氧化硅粉尘的专业人员中遇到。我们报告一名54岁的牙科技师以进行性呼吸困难为表现，根据其职业史和特征性放射学表现，诊断为矽肺病。最初考虑结节病的鉴别诊断。本病例突出了早期识别职业性肺病的重要性，并强调了采取预防措施限制二氧化硅暴露的必要性。

Hidden danger: silicosis in a dental technician-an overlooked occupational risk.

Silicosis is a chronic lung disease caused by prolonged inhalation of crystalline silica particles, frequently encountered in professionals exposed to silica dust. We report the case of a 54-year-old dental technician presenting with progressive dyspnea, where the diagnosis of silicosis was confirmed based on occupational history and characteristic radiological findings. A differential diagnosis with sarcoidosis was initially considered. This case highlights the importance of early recognition of occupational lung diseases and emphasizes the need for preventive measures to limit silica exposure.
