Chest imaging of patient 1 A: Chest x-ray showing large cavities at the left lower lobe (open black arrows) adjacent to a retrocardiac collapse-consolidation (white arrows) and oval and nodular infiltrates at the mid-lung fields (open arrowheads). B: HRCT transverse section through the upper lobes showing a nodular lesion at the right upper lobe (open arrowhead) and a cavitary lesion at the left upper lobe (arrowhead). C: HRCT transverse section through the lung bases demonstrating calcified small subcarinal and left hilar nodes (open arrowheads) and a cavity (arrow) inside the collapse-consolidation at the left lower lobe.

Chest X-ray revealed a cavitary lesion at the left lower lobe, and smaller lesions at the middle and upper lobes bilaterally (Fig. 1a). High resolution computed tomography (HRCT) confirmed the presence of multiple cavities which were located at the left upper lobe and at the superior segment of the collapsed left lower lobe, calcified subcarinal and hilar lymphnodes, and bilateral nodular non-cavitary parenchymal disease at the upper lobes (Fig. 1b and c).
Chest x-ray of patient 2 showing prominent hilums and a cavitary lesion at the left lower lung field.

Chest radiographs suggested prominent hilums and a cavitary lesion at the left lower lung field (Fig. 2), while HRCT showed enlargement of paratracheal, hilar and mediastinal lymphnodes, consolidation at the lingula containing a small cavity and multiple pulmonary nodular lesions at the superior segment of the left lower lobe, the lateral segment of the right middle lobe and the posterior segment of the right lower lobe.
