Placental transmogrification of the lung presenting as a consolidative lesion with bronchiectasis

We report a case of a 37‐year‐old man with a persistent consolidative lesion in the right lower lobe. A chest computed tomography scan showed a 2 cm focal consolidative lesion in the lateral basal segment of the right lower lobe. The size of lesion had slightly increased over four months. Wedge rese...
