Considerable variation in nomenclature and of interpretation exists with regard to the term 'pseudotumour of the lung'. Interlobar encysted effusions, plasma cell tumours fibrous histiocytomas, xanthogranulomas, pseudolymphomas and recently round atelectasis of the lung have all been called 'pseudotumours'. A young man was investigated twice for an encysted interlobar effusion secondary to left heart failure. Treatment of the cardiac condition after the diagnosis of a probable 'phantom tumour' had been made led to rapid clearing of the lung fields. The literature on phantom tumour and some recently accepted ideas concerning nomenclature are reviewed.
关于“肺假瘤”这一术语，在命名和解释方面存在很大差异。叶间包裹性积液、浆细胞瘤、纤维组织细胞瘤、黄色肉芽肿、假性淋巴瘤以及最近的肺圆形肺不张都曾被称为“假瘤”。一名年轻男子因左心衰竭继发叶间包裹性积液接受了两次检查。在诊断为可能的“幻影瘤”后对心脏疾病进行治疗，导致肺部区域迅速清晰。本文回顾了关于幻影瘤的文献以及一些最近被接受的命名相关观点。
