title: Mammographic and CT detection of extrathoracic lung herniation.
abstract: Herniation of lung through the chest wall is uncommon and previously reported cases have been found either clinically or by chest radiography. We recently discovered a case of herniated lung on screening xeromammography. These findings were correlated with thoracic CT.
