CTICasesPulmonary Infarct Mimicking Pneumonia
Imaging findings
Area of hypo-enhancing lung with central ground glass and a peripheral rim of enhancement, indicating infarction rather than consolidation.
Key takeaways
A pulmonary infarct can mimic pneumonia (with associated sterile pleural effusion). Lack of enhancement in the affected lung tissue on a CT pulmonary angiogram is a key differentiator.
