RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of Fournier's gangrene. The CT findings confirmed the diagnosis and showed the extent of the lesion. METHODS/RESULTS: A young, male alcoholic developed Fournier's gangrene after an episode of urinary tract infection. The extent of the lesion observed on CT correlated with the surgical findings. CONCLUSION: CT evaluation of patients with Fournier's gangrene is advocated. In the case described herein, the extent of the lesion observed on CT correlated with the surgical findings.

Sarcoidosis is a disease which occasionally produces severe pulmonary fibrosis. Cystic cavitary lesions, which may or may not be colonized by mycetomas, are seen less often. We describe a patient with long-standing sarcoidosis who developed multiple cystic cavities mainly in the upper lobes. Five mycetomas were counted. We call for the use of high resolution computed tomography in such cases.

Ten cases of pulmonary mycetoma diagnosed in our service between 1985-1992 were retrospectively studied. Clinical methodology followed in the study is commented and the different therapeutic options are reviewed, so the literature concerning this process. The unspecificity of serum precipitins with Aspergillus is emphasised.
