We report a case of pulmonary infarction in a 72-year-old woman who was hospitalised for hemoptysis, chest pain and weight and coin a lesion in the loss periphery of the left lower lobe. Camputed tomography of the chest demonstrated a sub pleural solitary nodule with spicular radiation. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery was performed to obtain a histological diagnosis. Thoracoscopic examination showed a lesion that evoked chronic abscess. Histological examination confirmed an ischemic infarction. This is the second case of pseudotumor due to pulmonary infarction that was diagnosed by video-assisted thoracoscopic resection.
