2024年7月22日 · Round pneumonia is a type of pneumonia usually only seen in pediatric patients. They are well defined, rounded opacities that represent regions of infected consolidation. The mean age of patients with round pneumonia is 5 years and 90% of patients who present with round pneumonia are younger than 12 years 5.

2013年10月25日 · Round Pneumonia – When to Consider CT. In contrast to older kids and adults, a round opacity in a child is much more likely to be a pneumonia than a malignancy. With this in mind, and with a desire to utilize CT scans judiciously, it is generally best to treat Round Pneumonia with antibiotics and save the CT for those kids who:

In a child younger than 8 years of age with clinical symptoms and signs of pneumonia and a typical radiographic appearance, the diagnosis is almost always round pneumonia. This is different from adult imaging, in which malignant processes predominate.

2019年4月15日 · Round pneumonia is rarely reported in adults, compared with children. Less than 1% of pneumonia in adults are round in shape, mimicking lung cancer. 1 Perhaps the true incidence in adults may be higher, as many cases get treated with

Round pneumonia is a common clinical entity in children and adolescents. Studies show that the mean age at diagnosis ranges from 3.3 to 5 years, with a nearly equal sex ratio. 1,2 When combined with the correct clinical picture of pneumonia, it is a relatively benign radiologic finding.

Round pneumonia is a condition usually described in children, with few reports addressing adult patients. It is an oval-shaped consolidation that, due to its radiological appearance, simulates bronchogenic carcinoma. Its evolution tends to be benign, although diagnostic dilemmas have sometimes required exploratory thoracotomy.

The importance of identifying round pneumonia in clinical practice lies in its close resemblance to lung cancer on imaging. Although clinical features like fever and cough can point toward infectious etiology, occasionally, bronchogenic carcinoma can present with pneumonia secondary to obstruction of bronchus with superimposed infection.

Round pneumonia is primarily seen in children and adolescents. In one study, 75% of patients were under 8 years of age, and 90% under 12. 1 It is postulated that round pneumonias occurs more often in children as they have poorly developed pathways of collateral ventilation, more closely apposed lung connective tissue septa and smaller alveoli ...

2014年12月1日 · “Round pneumonia” or “spherical pneumonia” is a well-characterized clinical entity that seems to be less addressed by pediatricians in Taiwan. We herein report the case of a 7-year-old boy who presented with prolonged fever, cough, and chest X-rays showing a well-demarcated round mass measuring 5.9 × 5.6 × 4.3 cm in the left lower ...
