ABSTRACT
Rounded atelectasis is a focal, pleural-based lesion that is the result of pleural and subpleural scarring and atelectasis of the adjacent lung tissue. We experienced a case of asbestosassociated rounded atelectasis that had developed in a 50-year-old male. When examined with routine chest radiography, the patient was shown to have an asymptomatic chest mass.Computed tomography showed a pleural-based mass with a curvilinear shape about 4.2 cmin greatest diameter in the medial basal segment of the right lower lobe. To exclude the possibilityof malignancy the mass was excised by video-assisted thoracotomy. The mass wasround and firm, and was gray and yellow in color. Microscopically, marked pleural fibrosisextended into the underlying lung parenchyme and then resulted in atelectasis. There areferruginous bodies in dense fibrous pleura.
