Findings
Inhaling talc powder can cause a lung condition where the body forms inflammatory nodules around talc particles—a rare but serious issue. This case study of a 64-year-old man showed that stopping talc exposure allowed his lungs to improve without needing steroid medications, suggesting the damage may be reversible if caught early.
