Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1. Panel A shows a hypodense mass (asterisk) in the right tracheoesophageal sulcus with mild peripheral enhancement and adjacent fat densification, suggestive of an abscess. A 9-year prior chest CT revealed an uncomplicated diverticulum at the same site (arrow in panel B). A diffusion-weighted MR image (panel C) and an apparent diffusion coefficient map (panel D) also confirmed the diagnosis of an abscess (circle in both panels). A bronchoscopy image (panel E) shows purulent secretion in the airway.
