Round pneumonia or coin pneumonia is a rare variant in
adults, although it is very common in the pediatric age group patients. It can
mimic as a pulmonary mass on imaging, which can lead to broad differential
diagnosis or misguidance toward the conditions like bronchogenic carcinoma or
other benign conditions which can lead to unnecessary diagnostic work up like
computerized tomography scan and even a biopsy. We report a case of 45 year old
female with this rare presentation of pneumonia.
