Overview

Common chest x-ray findings in chronic PCM include bilateral and symmetric opacities, butterfly wing pattern, architectural distorsion, paracicatricial emphysema and traction bronchiectasis. There are not many chest x-ray finding in acute PCM, but it is characterized by mediastinal and hiliar lymphadenopathy and pleural effusions.[1] On thoraxic CT scan, chronic paracoccidioidomycosis is characterized by ground-glass attenuation, airspace consolidations, interlobular septal thickening, nodular pattern, fibrotic pattern, cavitary lesions, halo sign and reversed halo sign.[2][3][4][1]

Chest X-ray

Computed Tomography

  • Ground-glass attenuation
  • Airspace consolidations
  • Interlobular septal thickening
  • Nodular pattern:
    • Miliary
    • Macronodular
  • Fibrotic pattern:
    • Peribronchovascular interstitial thickening
    • Areas of cicatricial emphysema
    • Traction bronchiectasis
    • Architectural distortion
  • Cavitary lesions
  • Halo sign
  • Reversed halo sign[2][3][4][1]
