چکیده
The differential diagnosis of focal lung masses in childhood is large and includes mucoid impaction, congenital masses, inflammatory lung diseases, and neoplastic conditions. Mucoid impaction has a characteristic “finger-inglove” appearance on chest x-ray. The etiology of mucoid impaction can be quickly narrowed by a focused clinical and radiological evaluation. We describe an index patient and discuss the evaluation of mucoid impaction in clinical practice.
