OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this article is to report the coexistence of rounded atelectasis with malignant pleural mesothelioma as revealed by radiography and CT. CONCLUSION: Our five cases show the coexistence of rounded atelectasis and malignant mesothelioma. If rounded atelectasis is associated with a pleural effusion, a pleural mass with or without chest-wall invasion, or thickened pleura not adjacent to the rounded atelectasis, malignant mesothelioma should be strongly considered.
