She underwent a CT for lung cancer screening after her request. CT showed a 1.5 cm cavitary lesion with nearby ground-glass appearance on right upper lobe of the lung.

After an antibiotic tx, repeat CT showed an increase in solid component of the nodule with new nodules on RLL and LLL of the lung.

PET-CT showed that the nodules were hypermetabolic.
