Abstract

Round pneumonia (RP) is characterized with spherical consolidation on chest radiograph and usually confused with pulmonary mass. RP is usually seen in children, and usually results from bacteria. The diagnosis of RP based on chest radiograph and clinical findings, further investigation is unnecessary and it is treated with appropriate antibiotics and supportive therapy. We present a 15- month old girl who was admitted with cough and fever and spherical mass appearence on chest radiograph, diagnosed as round pneumonia and treated with cefuroxim axetil without further evaluation. On the seventh day her both clinical and radiological findings recovered completely.
