Aspergilloma

Focal Consolidation: Aspergilloma is often manifest radiographically as a focal, ovoid, and non-spiculated opacity, more commonly located in the upper lobes. If liquefaction necrosis occurs, then there may be a central area of radiolucency.

“Air Crescent” Sign: A thin-walled area of radiolucency can be found above or surrounding a cavitating aspergilloma, a finding referred to as the air crescent sign. A similar finding is present when an aspergilloma forms within a pre-existing cavity (Monod sign).

Postural Movement: Another interesting point to note is that mobility of the mass can be demonstrated by changing the position of the patient.
