A 68-year old woman with a long smoking history underwent lung cancer screening by low-dose computed tomography. This detected a 3.0 cm spiculated mass in the left upper lobe. Transbronchial biopsy revealed necrotizing granulomatous inflammation and cultures grew . Given lack of symptoms and concerns over drug toxicity, the patient declined antimicrobial therapy and she was monitored radiographically. Serial CT scans at six and twenty-two months showed progressive resolution of the mass. We present the first report of presenting as a solitary lung nodule that spontaneously resolved without treatment.
一名有长期吸烟史的68岁女性接受了低剂量计算机断层扫描肺癌筛查。检查发现左肺上叶有一个3.0厘米的毛刺状肿块。经支气管活检显示坏死性肉芽肿性炎症，培养物生长……鉴于患者无症状且担心药物毒性，她拒绝了抗菌治疗，并接受影像学监测。6个月和22个月时的系列CT扫描显示肿块逐渐消退。我们首次报告了……表现为孤立性肺结节且未经治疗自行消退的病例。 （原文中“cultures grew”后内容缺失，翻译时保留原文状态）
