Pulmonary Coccidioidal Mycetoma

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1984
Cavitary pulmonary disease due to coccidioidomycosis is common; however, development of both the underlying cavity and the fungus ball due to Coccidioides immitis is rare and has been reported on only five occasions. We report a case of coccidioidal mycetoma formation as a late sequelae of primary pulmonary coccidioidal pneumonia.
