It is a frequent pathology in clinical practice. However, its clinical presentation and imaging findings are nonspecific. Patients with this entity can present with findings that can range from mild dyspnea to life-threatening respiratory failure and hemodynamic instability. We present the case of a 61-year-old man, a former smoker, who presented to the emergency department after suffering blunt chest trauma. On admission, he complained of only mild shortness of breath, and his vital signs were typical. Initial imaging identified asymmetric pulmonary infiltrates and mediastinal lymphadenopathy; this was suspicious for additional pathology in addition to PC. After an exhaustive evaluation, a neoplastic or infectious disease process was ruled out. Even though the patient presented with a clinical deterioration of respiratory function compatible with secondary acute respiratory distress syndrome, there was a complete recovery after supportive measures and supplemental oxygen. In conclusion, the nonspecific clinical and imaging findings in patients with pulmonary contusion warrant a complete evaluation of these cases. An early diagnosis is essential to establish adequate support and monitoring to prevent possible complications that could worsen the patient\u2019s prognosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/23247096241266089","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,25]],"date-time":"2024-07-25T06:22:59Z","timestamp":1721888579000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Pulmonary Contusion\u2014An Unusual Clinical and Radiological Presentation: Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Ana Isabel","family":"Castrill\u00f3n","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Research Center, Fundaci\u00f3n Valle del Lili, Cali, Colombia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luz F.","family":"Sua","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Fundaci\u00f3n Valle del Lili, Cali, Colombia"},{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, Universidad Icesi, Cali, Colombia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alvaro","family":"Sanchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, Universidad Icesi, Cali, Colombia"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, Thoracic Surgery Service, Fundaci\u00f3n Valle del Lili, Cali, Colombia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0789-9154","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Liliana","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez-Trujillo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, Universidad Icesi, Cali, Colombia"},{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Pulmonology Service, Interventional Pulmonology, Fundaci\u00f3n Valle del Lili, Cali, Colombia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-23247096241266089","unstructured":"Ganie FA, Lone H, Lone GN, et al.
