Abstract

Anthracofibrosis is a bronchial stenosis due to local mucosal fibrosis that also presents anthracotic pigment in the mucosa. The cause has not been well clarified, although there is a frequent association with tuberculosis and the exposure to smoke from biofuel or biomass combustion. It is an entity that has not been reported in Spain, although the influx of people from rural areas of developing countries or rural areas of our own country should make us contemplate this entity in the differential diagnosis of our patients. We present 3 cases detected in Spain (2 of them natives) diagnosed by bronchoscopy and bronchial biopsy, which are techniques necessary to confirm the diagnosis. There is no specific treatment, except for tuberculostatic treatment in cases with coexisting tuberculosis., (Copyright © 2011 SEPAR. Published by Elsevier Espana. All rights reserved.)
