We reported a human immunodeficiency virus type 1-infected patient with a small solitary pulmonary nodule mimicking adenocarcinoma, who was treated successfully with antituberculosis therapy. We believe that high-resolution CT scans of thorax are important examinations to detect pulmonary inflammatory findings, such as ectasis of the bronchi leading to the nodules and calcifications in the nodules, and also as follow-up tests for evaluating effectiveness of treatment on pulmonary inflammatory nodules in human immunodeficiency virus type 1-infected patients.
