目前对肺实质内孤立性实性局限性密度（1）（肺“硬币”病变）（通常在常规检查中发现）的处理感兴趣，促使我们报告一组此类病变的经验，其中X线显示钙化。在收集的大量肺硬币状病变中，发现了13个这样的病例，其中大部分是在纽约市卫生部结核病局指导下从胸部诊所收集的。观察5例切除硬币状病灶。两个病灶在几年内呈锥形生长。两名病人起初都拒绝手术干预的想法，但经过多次劝说后终于同意了。表一概述了这一群体的突出特点。5个病灶均为非恶性。在其余8例患者中，观察到肺硬币病变在2至12年的时间内保持不变。相关的F…
CURRENT INTEREST in the management of isolated solid circumscribed densities (1) within the lung parenchyma (pulmonary “coin” lesions), usually found on routine examination, prompts us to report our experiences with a group of such lesions within which calcification was demonstrated roentg enographically. Thirteen such cases have been found among a large number of pulmonary coin lesions gathered, for the most part, from the chest clinics under the direction of the Bureau of Tuberculosis, Department of Health, New York City. Observations In 5 cases, the coin lesion was excised. Two lesions showed coneentric growth over a period of several years. Both patients at first rejected the idea of operative intervention but finally agreed to it after much persuasion. The outstanding features of this group are outlined in Table I. None of the 5 lesions was malignant. In the remaining 8 patients, the pulmonary coin lesions were observed to remain unchanged for periods varying from two to twelve years. The pertinent f...
