Asbestosis in lung parenchyma Light micrograph of brown asbestos fibers (ferrigenous bodies) embedded in lung tissue. Dark purple spots are cell nuclei.
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) SCLC is the most common type seen in asbestos workers. This is the microscopic pattern of a small-cell (‘oat cell’) carcinoma in which small dark blue cells with minimal cytoplasm are packed together in sheets. SCLC is the most aggressive type of lung cancer.
