    The Calcaneous seems lucent, and there are large areas of bone lysis.
    The trachea is deviated dorsally on the lateral views and the cranial mediastinum seems wide on the VD.
    Also there is a diffuse bronchointerstitial pattern.
    I suspect a systemic fungal infection causing osteomyelytis and mediastinal LN enlargement

    There are a mixture of bone lysis and periosteal reaction at calcaneous. Bronchointerstitial lung pattern associated with the opacity of both cranial mediastine an perihilar region increased (sternal, mediastinal and tracheobronquial linfonodes enlarged?). Fungal pneumonia with a osteomyelytis?
