Description

Two cases of Mycoplasmal pneumonia showing nodular shadows on roentgenogram, in a 31 year-old woman and a 28 year-old man, were reported. The consequence of a roentogenological analysis reveals that the nodular shadows on the roentgenogram were revealed on CT by the thickness of the bronchoarterial bundles and the nodular opacities which had a centriacinar or centrilobular distribution, at the ends of the branches of the pulmonary arteries and bronchi. These findings suggest that the pulmonary lesions of Mycoplasmal pneumonia were located in the peribronchial and periarterial interstitium and the bronchioles and their adjacent alveoli. CT is useful in the evaluation of nodular shadows on roentgenogram.
