Abstract
Spherical pneumonia, which is seen more frequently in children than in adults, is usually manifested as a solitary nodule, We report the cas e of a middle-aged man with small spherical pneumonia, with multiple d istribution in the right lung, caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae. Thi s type of pneumonia is very unusual and should be included in the diff erential diagnosis of multiple nodular densities of the lung.
