Folded Lung Syndrome

fold·ed lung syndrome (f

Collapse of part of the lung caught between shrinking fibrous pleura scars, which sometimes results from pleural asbestosis. Also called round atelectasis.

Rounded Atelectasis

A condition associated with asbestosis and pleural plaques
A form of pulmonary collapse associated with pleural thickening that can mimic a neoplasm on plain chest radiographs. The abnormality was diagnosed radiologically in nine patients in whom follow-up varied from 1 to 6 years. Four patients had bilateral lesions, making a total of 13 examples. The CT findings were analyzed and compared with previously published criteria for the diagnosis of this disorder. In all cases, CT showed a rounded mass, 3.5-7.0 cm in diameter, abutting a thickened pleural surface in the lung periphery. The margin closest to the hilum was blurred by the entering vessels in 92% of the cases.
