Figure 1 eloquently demonstrates this central cavitation.
Consecutive computed tomography axial image series through the lung bases eloquently depicts the temporal evolution of: (a) solid pulmonary nodules to (c) thin-walled cysts. The magnified insert clearly demonstrates the central cavitation (b).

Figure 2 depicts the temporal evolution of several focal right lower lobe solid pulmonary nodules to thin-walled cysts on axial CT images.
Coronal multiplanar reformatted images depicts the progression of solid pulmonary nodules to: (a) thick-walled cavitating nodules to (b) thin-walled pulmonary cysts over time. The uncomplicated thin-walled cysts are better appreciated in the magnified insert (b).

In Figure 3, we can also clearly appreciate this cavitating trend on coronal multiplanar reformatted images.
