Background: The management of asymptomatic pneumonia-like opacity detected by CT has not been clarified.Methods: We reviewed 12 cases of asymptomatic pneumonia-like opacity from 2,762 chest CTs performed at our check-up center between 2012 and 2014. Cases under treatment for respiratory disorders and those suspicious of specific infections were excluded.Results: In all 12 cases, CT findings of pneumonia-like opacity disappeared without chemotherapy.Conclusion: Patients with asymptomatic pneumonia-like opacity can be managed by observation if chronic respiratory disorders and specific infections have been ruled out.
