Round Atelectasis - One case report -

Round atelectasis is an uncommon benign pulmonary condition not relevant to neoplastic or inflammatory lung disease, usually presenting as a peripheral parenchymal round mass density on a chest roentgenogram. Recently, authors experienced one patient with this disease entity associated with spontaneous pneumothorax who was treated surgically with a successful outcome. The case is thought to be the first documented report of round atelectasis in Korea.
