title: [Rounded atelectasis of the lung. A well defined radio-tomographic syndrome].
abstract: Rounded atelectasis (AR) is an unusual type of pulmonary peripheral collapse which may mimic a tumour mass. Seven patients with AR underwent radiological work up by mean of multiple imaging modalities; radiographic and conventional tomographic features were invariably sufficient to make the correct diagnosis. For this reason, more sophisticated or invasive diagnostic procedures are presently not indicated.
