PART A
1. A 32-year-old man presents to his family physician with cough, fever and
increasing shortness of breath. A chest radiograph reveals the presence of
symmetrical hilar masses. The masses have a lobulated and well defined
outline with some fine calcification. The only significant element in this man's
occupational exposure history is he is fond of keeping birds as pets in the
house. Write the differential diagnosis in this clinico-radiological setting,
detailing the chest CT findings in any two likely conditions.

tuberculosis on a chest radiograph, while elucidating the role of CT in
determining disease activity.
