2. Focused clinical history
Given the presence of pulmonary parenchymal fat, the pulmonary parenchymal opacification is not consistent with fungal infection and no clinical or laboratory data to suggest fungal infection are present. Surgical lung biopsy is an appropriate method for evaluation of diffuse lung diseases of unknown etiology, but the CT features in this case provide a specific diagnosis, and therefore this procedure is not required. Similarly, percutaneous transthoracic biopsy is useful for the diagnosis of a number of pulmonary disorders, typically focal nodular diseases, but is not required in light of the CT features. 18FFDG-PET scanning would not add further information to what is already known through clinical history and imaging performed thus far. In light of the CT appearance of fatty consolidation, focused clinical history, searching for a correlate for this finding should be undertaken.
Based on the thoracic CT findings, additional history was elicited from the patient.
Which of the histories provided below matches the CT findings for this patient?
