Pulmonary Resection for Infarction Simulating Bronchogenic Carcinoma

WILLIAM E. NEVILLE M.D., F.C.C.P. and C. WALKER MUNZ M.D., F.C.C.P.

1. Two cases of lobectomy for pulmonary infarction simulating bronchogenic carcinoma are reviewed.

2. In both cases the signs, symptoms, x-ray and bronchoscopy findings were similar to those commonly seen in pulmonary malignancy.

3. In its protean manifestations, pulmonary infarction may mimic almost any other lung disease.

4. It occurs more in the ambulatory patient than is generally realized.

5. Despite the occasional unnecessary pulmonary resection, one should not deter from exploratory thoracotomy on all undiagnosed, suspicious, pulmonary lesions.
