Posteroanterior chest radiography in an erect position showed a cavity of 60 mmx73 mm diameter in the right upper lobe containing an intracavitary focal mass of 47 mmx31 mm diameter with adjacent moon-shaped radiolucency (Figure 1). Our initial diagnosis was purely based on the typical radiological findings illustrated in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
