The occurrence of lung cancer in cavities mimicking fungus ball or air crescent sign is quite rare. The tumor tends to infiltrate in the adjacent pulmonary parenchyma causing a paracicatricial effect, and may lead to emphysematous or cystic changes adjacent to the neoplastic process. In conclusion, lung cancer must be considered in the differential diagnosis for patients who present with a fungus ball-like lesion, particularly in cases where the nodule is fixed to the cavity wall.
