Rounded atelectasis
processing claims for over 50 years
On X-rays, rounded atelectasis appears as a round mass, which can easily be mistaken for a cancerous tumor. Round atelectasis is frequently related to asbestos exposure since the fibers accumulated on the surface of the pleura can cause severe tissue scarring. If in addition to rounded atelectasis asbestos fibers also show up on your X-ray you might be eligible for compensation.
