Branching water-density opacity in the right lower lobe with surrounding hyperlucency. Isolated anomaly.
Case Discussion
Branching opacity is most in keeping with a bronchocoele. No evidence of continuation with the remainder of the bronchial tree, and surrounding hyperlucency suggests congenital bronchial atresia with a secondary bronchocoele. This is likely incidental to presentation, and no cause for hemoptysis is seen.
