Abstract
Round atelectasis is a rare lung pseudotumor that is most commonly associated with asbestos-related pleural disease but can result from a variety of chronic pleural diseases. We describe a patient who developed round atelectasis over a period of only several months following an acute pleuropulmonary illness caused by Legionnella pneumophila.
