We report the findings of the high-resolution computed tomography of the chest of a patient with pulmonary talcosis related to intravenous injection of diluted oral medicine. The most important high-resolution computed tomography findings were small centrilobular nodules associated with conglomerated masses. Areas of emphysema and ground glass attenuation were also seen. These high-resolution computed tomography findings are highly suggestive of pulmonary talcosis.
