Left perihilar and left retrocardiac opacities measuring 2.6 x 3.9 cm with abnormal lucency within the left mid lung, suggestive of a cavitating lesion. Small left pleural effusion is also noted. These findings raise the possibility of cavitating pneumonia; however, malignancy cannot be excluded. A chest CT is recommended for further evaluation.
