[Intrapulmonary adenopathies. Apropos of a case]

The authors report the case of a peripheral subvisceral pleural nodule which was found to be an intra pulmonary lymph node. This lesion, as an uncommon pattern, belongs to the coin lesion's gamut in adults. The improved sensitivity of CT scan in detecting infra centimetric pulmonary nodules should increase the absolute incidence of this diagnosis. But the radiologic features are non specific: an histologic control is necessary and percutaneous needle biopsy not always obviate exploratory minithoracotomy.
