Report of a Rare Case of Computed Tomography Diagnosis of Hydrocarbon Pneumonitis

The practice of manually siphoning diesel from fuel tanks is widespread among car mechanics in Asian countries. To date, there are just a few reports in the literature about hydrocarbon pneumonitis caused by diesel fuel aspiration. An early diagnosis based on clinical suspicion, imaging results, and...

description The practice of manually siphoning diesel from fuel tanks is widespread among car mechanics in Asian countries. To date, there are just a few reports in the literature about hydrocarbon pneumonitis caused by diesel fuel aspiration. An early diagnosis based on clinical suspicion, imaging results, and histopathology can help prevent permanent damage to the lungs.
