Cysts and cavities are commonly encountered lesions in the lung on chest radiography and chest computed tomography. They are usually of congenital origin in children. Common causes of acquired lung cysts during childhood include necrotizing pneumonias, trauma, cystic fibrosis and kerosene poisoning. We report here a toddler who presented with bronchopneumonia, was treated for the same, then found to have a left lower lobar lung cyst, which disappeared after 2 months with appropriate conservative management.
