Abstract

Aspergilloma is a mass-like fungus ball consisting of Aspergillus fumigatus. Aspergilloma occurs in patients with pulmonary structural abnormalities in which the presence of a previous cavity is the predisposing factor that most often results in Aspergillus colonization, especially in tuberculosis endemic countries. 28 y.o and  33 y.o female , complained of hemoptysis, chest pain, weight loss, and a history of TB treatment. The chest X-ray and CT scan revealed a solid lesion with an “Air-crescent sign” indicating Aspergilloma lesion. Patients were given symptomatic, anti-fungal drugs, and supported  by embolization procedure to reduce hemoptysis. The patient's condition began to improve after treatment. Imaging findings in x-rays and CT scans that point to Aspergilloma will help doctors in further management to provide a better prognosis for the patient.

Abstract

An abnormal free gas collection in the thorax and abdomen is a condition which is present of abnormal air in the thorax and abdominal cavity that normally not found. Radiological examination plays very important role to detect the presence of abnormal gas, the volume, the location, and the complication. Some of these conditions can represent classic radiological appearance that we can find in everyday practice.

Abstract

Background : Mediastinal teratoma and other mediastinal tumors are very challenging to be distinguished from other mediastinal tumors. Mediastinal tumors can be optimally evaluated with computed tomography (CT). In this paper we present three young male patients with similar symptom of chronic chest pain and chronic cough. Materials and Methods: Conducting a literature review and medical records. Results : All patients in this case are young age male, below two decades. All chest CT shows giant mass, but they have different enhancing pattern, different amount of solid, cystic, calcification component. To make correct diagnosis of the mediastinal mass is important because of treatment planning difference, surgery or chemoteraphy. The first case shows benign teratoma with characteristic of heterogenous mass with large amount of fat, with presence of solid and calcification component. The second case shows malignant germ cell tumor with feature of heterogenous mass with predominantly solid component and small amount of fat. It also shows metastatic process in lung and bone. The third case shows Hodgkin lymphoma with slight enhanced mass that narrowed pulmonary artery and caused pericardial effusion. Conclusion: Various features of mediatinal tumors can be distinguished with CT modality.

Abstract

Congenital pulmonary airway malformation, formerly known as congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation, is a heterogeneous group of cystic and non-cystic pulmonary lesions marked with the overgrowth of primary bronchioles, which is associated with an abnormal bronchial tree that does not have cartilage. A 4-month-old boy came with a complaint of productive coughs since he was 3 weeks old, fever since the age of 2 months, and shortness of breath. The patient was once hospitalized due to pneumonia and suspected tuberculosis. After undergoing serial chest radiographs, the results showed multiple cysts that were dominant in the lower lobe of both lungs with surrounding infiltrates. Through the confirmation of a chest CT scan, there were small, multiple cysts with a size of <2 cm in both lungs, connected to the bronchial branch, accompanied by consolidation with an air bronchogram suggestive of type 2 congenital pulmonary airway malformation. Congenital pulmonary airway malformation is a rare case that usually requires serial chest radiographs to assist in the establishment of its diagnosis and a CT scan for a definitive diagnosis of its lesions.

Abstract

Pulmonary fungal infections can be found in immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. The Curvularia species of fungi are rarely seen in humans. These fungi can be clinically significant and cause a range of disease processes, particularly in immunocompromised patients. We present a 24-year-old male patient diagnosed with SLE 5 years ago, complaining of fever five days before hospital administration concerning pneumonia. A CT scan revealed consolidation and multiple lung nodules compatible with a fungal pulmonary infection. The result of the sputum culture indicated Curvularia. A chest radiograph showed infiltrates with consolidation in the middle-lower lobes of both lungs. Early and second CT-scan findings revealed ground-glass opacity surrounding multiple irregular nodules (halo signs), cavitary nodules, and reverse halo signs. Afterward, the result of the patient’s sputum culture demonstrated fungal growth of the Curvularia species. The patient then underwent fungal treatment with fluconazole and voriconazole. The patient showed improvements, and a follow-up chest CT scan revealed the resolution of the lesion after fungal treatment. CT-scan examination, clinical condition, and microbiology culture can help diagnose Curvularia pulmonary fungal infection in immunocompromised patients.   Keyword: Phaeohyphomycosis; Curvularia; Halo sign; Reverse halo sign
