A Case Report Of Vanishing Tumour Of The Lung

In congestive heart failure, fluid localized in an interlobar fissure produces a mass on the chest rontgenogram which simulates a tumor. Treatment of the cardiac decompensation results in the disappearance of the mass. Consequently, masses such as these have been designated as vanishing or phantom tumors of the lung.Here we report a case of vanishing tumour of lung in a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy which disappeared after the treatment of his cardiac failure.
