A 57-year-old woman, smoker with no other history of interest, presented with a 1-week history of dyspnea, cough with expectoration, and low-grade fever. Chest X-ray showed multiple bilateral nodular images, some of which were cavitary (Fig. 1a). Computed tomography (CT) confirmed the presence of multiple cavitary masses in both hemithoraxes, with amorphous calcifications (Figs. 1b and c). Serology for hydatidosis was negative, and sputum and bronchial aspirate cultures for mycobacteria on Löwenstein medium were also negative.
