Thick-walled pulmonary cavities are an uncommon manifestation of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP). A case of PCP in a man with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) presenting with a thick-walled pulmonary cavity and multiple smaller pulmonary air cysts is described. All of these lesions showed dramatic healing with therapy. A brief review of the recent literature is also presented.
