Chest radiograph showing cavitation in the right middle zone and perihilar reticulonodular opacities with bilateral hilar enlargement (Panel A). Panel B shows the computed tomography of the chest with cavitation in the right lower lobe and left lower lobe measuring 6 cm x 5 cm x 4 cm and 3 cm x 2 cm x 2 cm, respectively. Note the extensive peribronchovascular nodules and subpleural nodules seen around the areas of cavitation. Computed tomography of the chest after treatment showing clearing of perihilar consolidation and peribronchovascular nodules and obliteration of the cavity in the left side while a thin-walled cavity persists in the right lower lobe (Panel C)

Chest radiograph after 6 months of therapy showed bilateral hilar adenopathy, reticulonodular opacities in both upper zones, bilateral perihilar consolidation, and a cavity in the right middle lobe [Figure 1A]. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest showed enlarged intrathoracic lymph nodes with bilateral perihilar consolidation and cavitation in both the lower lobes [Figure 1B]. Furthermore, there was resolution of the cavity on the left side; however, a thin-walled cavity persisted in the right lower lobe [Figure 1C].
