The typical radiographical findings of cytomegalovirus pneumonitis are bilateral interstitial infiltrates. In this study, the current authors describe two patients on corticosteroid treatment for systemic lupus erythematosus, complicated by histologically confirmed cytomegalovirus pneumonitis, presenting as cavitary masses. This rare presentation of cytomegalovirus pneumonitis broadens the differential diagnosis of cavitary lesions to include cytomegalovirus infection in immunocompromised individuals.
