title: Computed tomographic diagnosis of rounded atelectasis: a case report.
abstract: A case of rounded atelectasis of the lung is presented in which the diagnosis was made following computed tomography. This imaging technique enabled differentiation of this benign condition from other causes of lung masses. In certain cases where diagnosis is difficult by conventional means, CT may prove helpful and prevent unnecessary surgery.
