Pseudo-pseudo-pseudotumor of the lung.
Benign lesions may simulate bronchogenic carcinoma by virtue of radiologic appearance or false-positive cytologic studies. A lung opacity initially suspected to be malignant was, on review, considered to be a loculated effusion. Needle biopsy yielded cells which appeared malignant. The resected lesion was a benign infarct.
