[Round atelectasis].
a) For several reasons Sinner's paper calls for critical remarks: His term "Pleuroma" for a neither pleural nor tumorous but intrapulmonary and atelectatic mass lesion lacks any anatomical and histological basis and is misleading at that because it pretends a tumor of the pleura; his statement in the summary that atelectatic pseudotumors of the lung show a tumorcell-like cytoarchitecture is surprising without being further discussed by the author; he encourages risky invasive diagnostical procedures even in cases where the radiological diagnosis of round atelectasis is unmistakable; already known radiologic features of round atelectases are presented by him as hitherto undescribed; his conceptions of the formal development of round atelectases and of their most characteristic features can not be agreed with. b) The different forms of round atelectases and their residuals are presented with tomograms and with diagrams of their formal development from our point of view.
