Abstract
An unusual cavitary lung lesion in an asymptomatic and nonsmoker patient is uncommon. In these cases, infectious pathologies should be included in the differential diagnosis. Then, to correctly conduct an investigation, it is important to consider the clinical picture, the radiological images and the epidemiology. This presentation may need a wide variety of tests to establish the final diagnosis. Such a presentation occurs in the following case report.
