ABSTRACT
Nocardiosis is generally regarded as an opportunistic infection that can present as a cutaneous, pulmonary, or disseminated disease based on host immunity status. Pulmonary nocardiosis is typically seen in immunocompromised patients; however, it can rarely be present in immunocompetent patients. We present a rare case of an immunocompetent patient who was thought to have a lung malignancy but was found to have pulmonary nocardiosis upon further investigation.
