Transverse chest CT scan (10-mm collimation, lung window) shows severe emphysema in the native left lung and two small nodules in the left upper lobe (arrow). Resected thoracoscopic wedge specimen revealed granulomatous inflammation with numerous acid-fast bacilli. Cultures grew M avium-intracellulare complex.
