Abstract

A 7-year-old girl was referred to our vascular anomaly center for further evaluation of multiple lung nodules. These nodules were incidentally detected on a CT scan during hospitalization for treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia at another hospital. The biopsy results suggested the possibility of vascular tumors. Physical examination revealed clear breath sounds without rales. Furthermore, no skin lesions or other positive signs were observed. The patient was not receiving supplemental oxygen. Before she came to our center, the patient had received antibiotic treatment for mycoplasma pneumonia. The CT scan after recovery revealed that the multiple nodules in both lungs persisted despite the resolution of the infection.
