OBJECTIVE: We describe the CT appearance of @entity358 ( @entity2583 ), an @entity1292 typically occurring in immunocompromised @entity1 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eight @entity1 with @entity358 imaged with CT were reviewed, seven at initial diagnosis and one with a subsequent complication. The appearance, number, and location of @entity358 and the presence of @entity1143 and extrapulmonary involvement were assessed. Rim enhancement, air bronchograms, the halo sign, air crescent sign, cavitation, and central low attenuation suggesting @entity39 were recorded. RESULTS: There were 14 nodules and 5 areas of mass-like or wedge-shaped consolidation. @entity1143 was present in five @entity1 , halo sign in three, central low attenuation in two, and cavitation in one. In the affected lobe 13 of 14 nodules and all consolidations were posterior. Of 19 lesions 16 (84%) were confined to the upper lobes, with 3 in the superior segment of a lower lobe. @entity66 with @entity891 was the only manifestation in one @entity1 . Major complications were direct spinal invasion in one @entity1 and @entity358 in another @entity1 . CONCLUSION: In the appropriate clinical circumstance, nodules or mass-like or wedge-shaped consolidation, especially posteriorly in the upper lobes of the lung, should suggest @entity13296 . Endobronchial @entity13296 is less common.
