Lung computed tomography CT scan image: (A) large paracardiac rounded cavitary lesion (diameter 3 cm) in the right upper lobe, consistent with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA). (B): persistence of the cavitary lesion after five months of antifungal therapy (C) Complete disappearance of pulmonary aspergillosis, with a fibrotic lesion in place of the previous cystic lesion.

A lung CT scan was performed and revealed a large pericardial rounded nodule (diameter 3 cm) with cavitation in the right upper lung lobe, suggestive of invasive aspergillosis (see Figure 1, A). Nevertheless, the control CT lung scans showed the persistence of the unmodified pulmonary lesion (Figure 1, B). The lung CT scan performed 42 days after surgery documented the presence of a fibrotic replacement of the previous cystic lesion. (Figure 1, C).
