Imaging findings
The patient presented with a large abscess in the thigh, which grew Nocardia. Chest CT revealed a random distribution of miliary-sized nodules as well as larger confluent nodules and patchy consolidation, consistent with pulmonary nocardiosis.
Key takeaways
Nocardiosis can present with a wide spectrum of imaging findings, from miliary nodules to large, confluent consolidations. Always look for other focal infections (like soft tissue abscesses) when evaluating pulmonary findings consistent with Nocardia.
