Popis: In recent years there have been many reports of connective tissue diseases especially scleroderma following exposure to silica and silicone. We report a 51-year-old Chinese who developed a scleroderma-like disease and pulmonary silicosis eight years after exposure to silica. To our knowledge, this is the first case to be reported in Malaysia.
