Two cases of "phantom tumors" of the right lung on elderly subjects with congestive heart failure are described. One presented a picture of patchy bronchopneumonia, whereas the second had been diagnosed as a lung carcinoma 1 month before hospitalization because of a round lesion. In both cases the radiological picture cleared up within a few days following rest, diuresis and digitalization. The possibility of congestive heart failure as a cause for development of circumscribed pulmonary opacities should always be kept in mind.
本文描述了两例老年充血性心力衰竭患者出现右肺“假性肿瘤”的病例。其中一例表现为斑片状支气管肺炎，而另一例因圆形病变在住院前1个月被诊断为肺癌。两例患者在休息、利尿和使用洋地黄治疗后的几天内，影像学表现均消失。应始终牢记充血性心力衰竭作为局限性肺实质模糊影病因的可能性。
