Results: We report a case of a pulmonary cavitary lesion in a 74-year-old African American man who presented to the emergency department with right upper quadrant abdominal pain and cough of one week duration. Chest CT revealed a cavitary lesion in the right upper lobe. His diagnosis was made two weeks after his admission by bronchial lavage, at which time appropriate treatment was initiated.
