Computed tomography images of the chest of an HIV-infected 47-year-old man (case-patient 3) with Cryptococcus gattii complex infection, southeastern United States. Transverse (A) and frontal (B) views without intravenous contrast showed a mass (arrows) (4.0 cm × 2.5 cm) that had central cavitation posteriorly in the right lower lobe abutting the pleural surface. The central cavitary portion of this lesion had a maximum length of ≈1.3 cm and no evidence of fluid level or internal soft tissues
