Aspergilloma: with Monod sign

Discussion:

An aspergilloma is one form of pulmonary aspergillosis.  This is a 'ball' of fungus which forms in a pre-existing cavity in the lungs.

The appearances are term the Monod sign which simply describes the air that surrounds a mycetoma (most commonly an aspergilloma) in a pre existing pulmonary cavity.  It is often used interchangably with the 'air crescent sign'.
