Unlike other pneumoconioses, it typically follows a benign course without significant fibrosis, though prolonged exposure may lead to respiratory complications<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 44-year-old male welder presented with progressive dyspnea (mMRC grade 3), reduced exercise tolerance, and a history of recurrent chest infections. Diagnostic evaluations, including imaging and pulmonary function tests, were conducted to assess his condition. Findings suggested siderotic lung disease superimposed on welder\u2019s pneumoconiosis, with potential systemic iron overload<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A thorough occupational history is critical to avoid misdiagnosis in suspected siderosis cases. Clinicians should consider systemic iron overload in affected welders and monitor for potential fibrotic progression. Further research is needed to clarify the relationship between iron oxide exposure and lung fibrosis, underscoring the importance of occupational safety measures in high-risk industries.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/omcr\/omaf282","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,25]],"date-time":"2025-11-25T12:52:40Z","timestamp":1764075160000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Occupational lung disease: a case of pulmonary siderosis in a welder worker"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-5809-8841","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammad Tareq","family":"Alfaqeh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Yarmouk University , Irbid ,","place":["Jordan"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-4426-8927","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammad Raed","family":"AlGhzawi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Yarmouk University , Irbid ,","place":["Jordan"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5426-1538","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ansam Zakaria","family":"Baniamer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Yarmouk University , Irbid ,","place":["Jordan"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2970-7379","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hamdah","family":"Hanifa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Kalamoon , Al-Nabk ,","place":["Syria"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026012509584044200_ref1","first-page":"428","article-title":"Pulmonary siderosis caused by inhalation of iron dust or fumes","volume":"122","author":"Rubin","year":"1992","journal-title":"Harefuah."},{"key":"2026012509584044200_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"44","DOI":"10.4997\/JRCPE.2013.111","article-title":"Occupational lung disease","volume":"43","author":"Reid","year":"2013","journal-title":"J R Coll Physicians Edinb"},{"key":"2026012509584044200_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"535","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mcna.2018.12.012","article-title":"Occupational lung disease","volume":"103","author":"Perlman","year":"2019","journal-title":"Med Clin North Am"},{"key":"2026012509584044200_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"233","DOI":"10.1080\/15287390490266909","article-title":"Pulmonary responses to welding fumes: role of metal constituents","volume":"67","author":"Antonini","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Toxicol Environ Health A"},{"key":"2026012509584044200_ref5","first-page":"304","article-title":"Occupational siderosis and welders' lung: a review","volume":"48","author":"Billings","year":"1993","journal-title":"Monaldi Arch Chest Dis"},{"key":"2026012509584044200_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"58","DOI":"10.4046\/trd.2011.70.1.58","article-title":"A case of pulmonary siderosis mimicking metastatic lung cancer","volume":"70","author":"Koo","year":"2011","journal-title":"Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases"},{"key":"2026012509584044200_ref7","first-page":"304","article-title":"Occupational siderosis and welders' lung: a review.
