We have reported a rounded atelectasis in a 65-year-old man. On CT scan a pleural-based mass was associated with curved, ragged projections from the lower pole of the lesion. This phenomenon appears to be the counterpart of the so-called comet tail on regular tomography and, because of its clarity, may further facilitate the diagnosis of this entity.
A case of vomiting-induced perforation of the lower esophagus proximal to a chronic peptic stricture is described. The patient had a remarkably benign course and conservative management resulted in complete cure. Criteria for nonoperative management of esophageal perforation are outlined. Esophageal injury due to retained pills, we believe, contributed to occurrence of this syndrome.
