Round pneumonia in children.
We evaluated four children with rounded densities on their chest radiographs in whom the final diagnosis was presumed to be lower respiratory tract infection. The differential diagnose between round pneumonia and a neoplastic process is difficult to make. In this report, all of cases of round pneumonia have resolved clinically and radiographically with antibiotic therapy.
