case_images: A large tricuspid valve vegetation was visualised on transesophageal echocardiogram, and computed tomography (CT) of the chest reported numerous bilateral pulmonary nodules, some of which appeared cavitary (Figures 1(A), 1(B), 1(C), and 1(D)). The patient hospital course was complicated by the development of spontaneous pneumothorax of first, the right lung (Figures 1(E) and 1(F)), followed two days later pneumothorax of the left lung (Figures 1(G) and 1(H)).
