Figure

  • Fig. 1. Contrast-enhanced chest CT. (A) Bronchiectatic change with peribronchial cavitary lesion (thin arrow) and nodule (thick arrow) were presented on axial CT images. (B) Aggregated low-density nodular lesions along paratracheal area (arrowhead) and right subphrenic space (arrow) were presented on coronal image.

  • Fig. 2. Axial images of contrast-enhanced abdomen CT demonstrated conglomerated cyst-like low density masses (arrows) in perihepatic and cardiophrenic space (A), omentum (B), and pelvis (C).

  • Fig. 3. Fine needle aspiration cytology, obtained from perihepatic and peribronchial lesions, showed eggs of Paragonimus westermani (arrows) with eosinophil-dominant inflammatory cells (H&E, ×400).
