Contrast enhanced CT scan shows fibrocavitary and bronchiectatic changes with near total architectural destruction of the left lung parenchyma. In one of the cavities in the left upper lobe, there is a well- defined soft tissue with the air crescent sign. There is a fibrotic patch with traction bronchiectasis in the right apical segment with loss of lung volume and compensatory hyperinflation.
