Rounded atelectasis is an uncommon but increasingly recognized benign form of peripheral lung collapse. The three patients described here had pleural-based lung masses considered initially to represent carcinoma. On computed tomography, a characteristic appearance of eight major and five minor signs of rounded atelectasis of the lung were found. In conjunction with other radiologic evaluations, these allowed the patients to be confidently managed without exploratory thoracotomy.
圆形肺不张是一种少见但越来越被认识到的周围型肺萎陷的良性形式。这里描述的3例患者有胸膜下肺肿块，最初被认为是癌。在计算机断层扫描上，发现了肺部圆形肺不张的8个主要和5个次要特征性表现。结合其他放射学评估，这些表现使得患者无需进行开胸探查就能得到可靠的处理。
