Two cases of angio-thrombotic lung granulomatosis in intravenous drug addicts are described. This entity has been previously described in drug addicts who inject oral drugs intravenously. Talc, which is used in the preparation of several drugs, cotton and other substances provoke at lung vessels level, thrombotic phenomena with strange body granuloma formations. Depending on the predominating localization of these lesions, interstitial pneumonia or pulmonary hypertension can later occur, such is the case in one of our patients who had a fatal evolution in a short period of time.
