An investigation was made to correlate autopsy findings of pleural plaques (PP) with the occupational history and findings of such plaques at X-ray before death. A good correlation was found between occupation and occurrence of PP at autopsy. Using strict criteria, 12.5% of all PP observed at autopsy, including small ones, were visible at X-ray. Almost half (3 of 8) of the widespread changes found at autopsy were seen on the X-rays. With more liberal roentgenological criteria 11 of the 24 cases were noted, but there were also 15 false positives.
