Pneumococcal spherical pneumonia multiply distributed in one lung.

Spherical pneumonia, which is seen more frequently in children than in adults, is usually manifested as a solitary nodule. We report the case of a middle-aged man with small spherical pneumonia, with multiple distribution in the right lung, caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae. This type of pneumonia is very unusual and should be included in the differential diagnosis of multiple nodular densities of the lung.
