Pulmonary spherical lesions form round shadows on x-ray chest films. There are many causes. The most common one is tuberculoma peripheral lung cancer, followed by lung abscess and various intrapulmonary tumors, inflammation intensification and pulmonary parasitosis. These round shadows are sometimes difficult to determine their nature clinically and x-ray imaging. However, depending on the location of the lesion, its shape, edge density and changes in the lobes near the lesion, observing various signs formed in the process of lesion development, combined with clinical manifestations and comprehensive analysis of various examination data, we can generally get a correct diagnosis.
