We report the case of a 65-year-old male smoker who presented with a 4-day history of persistent hiccups. He denied fever, chest pain, hemoptysis, or other systemic symptoms. Physical examination was largely unremarkable except for decreased air entry in the right middle and lower lung zones. Initial investigations, including gastroscopy and tumor markers, ruled out gastrointestinal causes. CT scan of the chest revealed a right lower lobe consolidation and cavitation with air fluid level and adjacent ground-glass opacities, along with enlarged subcarinal lymph nodes. Differential diagnoses included lung abscess, pneumonia, and tuberculosis cavitation. The patient was admitted for suspected lung abscess and received antibiotics. Bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage revealed no endobronchial lesions, and PCR testing and culture of the fluid was negative for tuberculosis but positive for klebsiella pneumonia. Despite radiologic regression of pneumonia, the cavitary lesion and lymphadenopathy persisted initially, but later started to regress.
