An unusual case of rounded atelectasis (RA) is described. This entity is likely to develop as a consequence of asbestos-induced pleural disease. The sine qua non of RA is a curvilinear tail extending from the inferior medial surface of a peripheral mass. Recognition of this "comet tail" prevents the necessity for surgery.
本文描述了一例罕见的圆形肺不张（RA）病例。该病症可能是由石棉引起的胸膜疾病所致。RA的关键特征是从外周肿块的内下表面延伸出的一条曲线状尾巴。识别出这种“彗尾征”可避免手术的必要性。
