Popis: Although the typical CT findings of Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PJP) include diffuse or multifocal areas of ground-glass opacities in both lungs, it can also rarely manifest as multiple pulmonary nodules. We report a rare case of atypical PJP in an immunocompromised patient with multiple myeloma, presenting as widespread ground-glass opacities and multiple necrotic subpleural nodules in both lungs on CT, which proved to be granulomatous PJP on percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy.
