Chest, abdominal and pelvic computed tomography were obtained at the time of gastroenterology evaluation, revealing scattered bilateral cavitary pulmonary nodules with parenchymal airspace disease in the left lower lobe and mediastinal lymphadenopathy (Fig. 1 - left column). After consulting with gastroenterology, the patient was started on infliximab and responded both clinically with the resolution of his cough and radiographically with marked decrease in the size of the cavitary lung lesions and mediastinal lymphadenopathy (Fig. 1 - right column). The time period between pre and post computed tomography evaluation as shown in Fig. 1 was approximately 6.5 months with an interval evaluation revealing stability of findings prior to infliximab administration.
