Abstract
In 198 randomized autopsies of adults, hyaline pleural plaques were found in 49 men and 17 women; bilateral in 47 cases, unilateral in 19. No correlation between previous or present pulmonary disease and hyaline plaques was found. Asbestos bodies were found in 9 men and 5 women; 9 out of these 14 cases with asbestos bodies also had hyaline pleural plaques.
