Figure 1 A, CT scan. Axial postcontrast image at the level of the pulmonary trunk bifurcation. Right-sided pleural effusion is present without discernible pleural mass. Left pleural surface is unremarkable. B, MRI scan. Coronal T2-weighted half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin-echo (HASTE) through the carina. Right-sided pleural effusion is present; no discernible pleural mass is evident. Left pleura is normal. C, PET scan. Intense uptake along the right mediastinal pleura and right-sided effusion. The left pleura appears normal. D, Thin ribbons of malignant mesothelioma cells infiltrating between layers of collagen; in addition, surface mesothelial cells (not shown) show patchy foci of membranous staining to epithelial membrane antigen within enlarged, atypical mesothelial cells.
