[A case of unilateral hilar lymphadenopathy resembling lung cancer due to mycoplasmal pneumonia in an adult].

A case of unilateral hilar lymphadenopathy due to mycoplasmal pneumonia in an adult patient is presented. A 54-year-old female was admitted to our hospital because of high grade fever and abnormal shadows on chest roentgenograms. She did not have any respiratory symptoms before admission. Chest roentgenograms on admission revealed a tumor-like shadow in the right hilus resembling lung cancer. On the seventh day after admission, abnormal shadows on chest roentgenograms spontaneously improved without therapy. The patient was diagnosed as having mycoplasmal infection based on the serological tests.
