Imaging findings
CT scan shows a right upper lobe consolidation that underwent central necrosis, cavitation, and resolved into a thin-walled, stable pulmonary cyst.

Primary pulmonary coccidioidomycosis can present as a focal consolidation that cavitates, leaving a thin-walled, asymptomatic cyst that can persist for years and is benign.
