1 Successful Treatment of Invasive Pulmonary Mucormycosis in an Immunocompromised Patient 
Oluwatobi Afolayan, BS, Hannah Copeland, MD, Rachel Hargrove, MD, Salman Zaheer, MD, Jason M. Wallen, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 101, Issue 4, Pages e117-e119 (April 2016) DOI: /j.athoracsur Copyright © 2016 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Computed tomography images in (A) soft tissue and (B) lung windows showing a large right upper lobe mass (2.7 cm) with reversed halo sign and a new, adjacent, thick-walled cavity with gas–liquid level are present. Reverse halo sign refers to ground-glass appearance at the center of the cavity surrounded by a ring of consolidation.

3 Fig 2 Computed tomography images in (A) soft tissue and (B) lung windows showing a 4.7- × 4-cm cavitary process in the right upper lobe is abutting the minor fissure, and the right pleura has minimal pleural thickening. Satellite opacities are adjacent to the cavitary process at the right upper lobe.
