Abstract
Pulmonary cavities may be highly suggestive of tuberculosis (TB) but can be associated with other infections, autoimmune diseases or malignancies. The authors present a case of a patient with clinical manifestations and relevant epidemiologic factors suggestive of TB whose chest radiography showed a retrocardiac cavity. Further workup excluded pulmonary disease.
