Figure 1

CT scans of patient 1 (18-year-old male) (panels 1a-f) and patient 2 (36 year-old female) (panels 2a-d). Panel 1a shows the liver in 2006 showing two irregular lesions located in the right lobe with scattered calcifications. Panel 1b is a follow-up scan of the liver taken in 2008 showing that the lesions had shrunk in size after treatment with albendazole. Panels 1c and 1d show the lung in 2006 having a lesion with the density of liquid, a clear edge, and surrounding inflammatory infiltrate extending to the anterior pleura. Panels 1e and 1f are follow-up lung CT scans taken in 2008 showing the lesion had shrunk in size. Panel 2a shows the liver in 2003 with a large irregular lesion located in the right lobe having scattered calcifications and liquefactions within it. Panel 2b shows the liver in 2008 indicating that the same lesion had not changed in size but with increased calcification and decreased liquefaction areas present. Panels 2c and 2d show the lung in 2008. Panel 2c shows a number of calcified lymph nodes on both sides of the upper and middle lung hila (indicating previously active TB). Panel 2d shows scar tissue (approximately 1.5 × 5 cm) in the right lower lobe of the lung without related lymph node calcification.
