Abstract :
In patients with acute heart failure, pleural fluid localized in an inter-pleural fissure produces a mass on chest X-ray, which mimics a tumor. Such masses have been designated as vanishing tumors of the lung. It is extremely rare that a vanishing tumor occurs in the apex of the lung. This is the first case report of a vanishing tumor in the right pulmonary apex
