A 62-year-old male @entity1 presented with left-sided chest @entity158 experienced in a lying position and progressive @entity1353 . He had a history of @entity259 treated 22 years ago and a nodular shadow in the left lung first identified 9 years ago. He refused any further diagnostic and therapeutic measures for the nodular shadow as he had been free of symptoms. The clinical findings at presentation included labial and acral cyanosis. Breathing sounds over the lower left lung were diminished. A chest X-ray revealed a 9 x 8-cm cloudiness lateral to the left border of the heart, which was confirmed in a contrast thoracic CT evidencing a smooth surface and a wall absorbing contrast medium. Staging diagnostics indicated no further @entity5 manifestations. Needle biopsy showed fibrous tissue. Thoracotomy with @entity5 extirpation exhibited a solitary @entity5 . @entity9662 is a rare cause for a nodular shadow of the lung. Clinical findings are rather nonspecific. Complete resection is the therapy of choice. Resection of functional lung tissue has to be avoided because the @entity5 often is pediculated.
