Popis:	The differential diagnosis of lung cavitations is very broad. We report a case of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) with lung cavitations on the chest X-ray in a patient with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). We discuss the differential diagnosis of such an X-ray pattern and emphasize that multiple cavitations can be a roentgenographic presentation of PCP.
