Pulmonary Torulosis in the Northern Territory Radiological Appearances

SUMMARYA radiological series of nine cases of pulmonary torulosis from Darwin Hospital and the Northern Territory of Australia is presented. The common radiological appearance is that of a solitary circumscribed lung opacity and therefore the radiological differentiation is from other lesions of this radiological type. The relatively young age and aboriginal race of most patients and the frequent presence of concomitant meningitis are important factors in the diagnosis of a pulmonary toruloma.
