THE GOLDEN'S S-SIGN
Right upper lope collapse around a large central mass.
Discussion: The mass prevents the central part of the lobe from losing volume. Because the peripheral lobe collapses and the central portion doesn't, it appears convex centrally and concave peripherally. The shape therefore resembles an S or reverse S, and is called the Golden S sign after Golden's description of cases of lobar collapse caused by carcinoma of the lung.
