A chest radiograph (Figure 1) and high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the thorax (Figure 2) showed bilateral conglomerate masses, one with cavitation, associated with multiple small nodules, in addition to calcifications of the hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes, paracicatricial emphysema, architectural distortion, and enlargement of the central pulmonary arteries.
HRCT scan with pulmonary windows ((a) and (c)) showing conglomerate mass (progressive massive fibrosis) with adjacent small nodules in both lungs. Note that the left conglomerate mass presented with a cavitation (arrows). Areas of emphysema and an enlargement of the pulmonary artery trunk are seen. Mediastinal windows ((b) and (d)) also show calcifications in the hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes. Foci of calcification are present in the conglomerate masses.
