The patient reported a productive cough with whitish sputum, shortness of breath, and night sweats of 3 to 4 months' duration and a 23-kg weight loss (from 75 to 52 kg) over the last 2 years. Chest radiography on admission showed a prominent aortic arch, an enlarged left hilum, and lower lobe opacity (Fig 1).
