True or false: The air crescent seen around a fungus ball (aka Monod sign) is the same as that seen in angioinvasive aspergillosis?
False. The latter refers to the crescent of air that can be seen in invasive aspergillosis, semi-invasive aspergillosis or other processes that cause pulmonary necrosis. It usually heralds recovery and is the result of increased granulocyte activity.
A densitiy in the right upper zone is present with clear evidence of volume loss (the trachea and mediastinum are pulled towards the right, and the hilum is elevated).
At the inferior margin of the central opacity there appears to be a lucent line.
