Abstract
ÖZET
Round pnömoni çocuklarda daha sık, yetişkinlerde ise nadir görülen bir akciğer enfeksiyonudur. Akciğer
grafilerinde oval şekilli lezyonlar olarak görülmesinden dolayı bronkojenik karsinom ile karıştırılabilmektedir.
Genellikle benign seyir göstermesi ve antibiyoterapiyle rezolüsyona uğraması pulmoner malignitelerden
ayırt edilmesini sağlar. Biz burada, round pnömoni saptadığımız ve antibiyotik tedavisi sonrasında
klinik ve radyolojik düzelme sağlanan bir olguyu sunduk. Klinisyenler akciğer malignitelerini görünüm
olarak taklit edebilen, nadir görülen bu pnömoni tipini gereksiz tanısal testlerden kaçınmak için akılda
bulundurmalıdır.

ABSTRACT
Round pneumonia is a lung infection which is more common in children but rarely seen in adults. Because
of oval-shaped lesions on chest radiograms, it may be confused with bronchogenic carcinoma. Usually
benign course and resolution with antibiotherapy allow to distinguish it from pulmonary malignancies.
We present a case with round pneumonia and clinical and radiological improvement after antibiotic treatment.
Clinicians should keep in mind this rare type of pneumonia, which can mimic lung malignancies
in appearance, to avoid unnecessary diagnostic tests.
