• Pulmonary cavitary lesions
• Perforated diverticulitis
• Inferior vena cava thrombosis

There are numerous causes of pulmonary cavitary lesions as infection (bacterial, parasitic and invasive fungal), Wegener granulomatosis (WG) and other vasculitis, sarcoidosis, malignancy, septic thromboembolism, airways disease (cystic bronchiectasis and bullae), pneumatoceles and traumatic parenchymal laceration.
