title: Imaging of exogenous lipoid pneumonia simulating lung malignancy in a dog.
abstract: This report presents peculiar radiographic and computed tomographic features of a lung mass in a dog, later diagnosed by histology as exogenous lipoid pneumonia. Although lipoid pneumonia is a well-known pathological entity in pets, this is the first imaging description of a single infiltrative lesion mimicking a neoplasm.
