Figure 1 Contrast-enhanced axial CT image demonstrates a large collection of increased attenuation, interpreted as a hematoma, that contains the chest tube separated from the enhancing partially collapsed left lower lobe by a fat attenuation stripe. This fat ribbon is known as the extrapleural fat sign and establishes the extrapleural location of the lesion.
