High-resolution computed tomography findings of P. westermani.

Paragonimiasis westermani, or Oriental lung fluke, is a common parasitic zoonosis, which is acquired from eating the flesh of wild boar or freshwater crabs. After being ingested by humans, the larvae of P. westermani migrate across small intestinal mucosa into the intra-abdominal space, and then finally into to the pleural space and lung parenchyma.

Minute pulmonary meningothelial-like nodules: high-resolution computed tomography and pathologic correlations.

Minute pulmonary meningothelial-like nodules (MPMNs), previously known as minute pulmonary chemodectomas, are relatively rare lesions. They are small (1-3 mm) and often multiple. Pathologically, they represent an interstitial nodular proliferation of small oval or spindle-shape cells arranged in a "zellenballen" nesting pattern.
