Figure 1 A, Posterior-anterior (PA) and lateral chest radiograph (CXR) from an ED visit for chest pain and cough 3 days prior to admission, showing a small right-sided pleural effusion and adjacent atelectasis. B, PA and lateral CXR on admission showing a large right-sided pleural effusion. Lateral film shows a large posterior ovoid mass-like opacity suspicious for loculation. C, Portable CXR following 14 French (F) chest tube placement (left) showing a reduction in the size of the effusion. An adjustment was made to the window contrast (panel on the right) to allow for clearer visualization of the chest tube position.

Figure 2 CT scan of the thorax in the coronal view on the day of admission shows a loculated effusion both inferiorly and in the horizontal fissure (ie, pseudotumor). There is associated compressive atelectasis of the right middle and lower lobes.

Figure 3 PA and lateral CXR showing expanding pleural effusion despite antibiotics, antifungal therapy, and 5 days of chest tube drainage with twice daily instillation of fibrinolytic and deoxyribonuclease. Lateral film continues to show an apical loculated fluid collection. See Figure 1 legend for expansion of abbreviations.

Figure 4 A, Image from video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) showing an inflamed, frankly hemorrhagic-appearing parietal (top) and visceral (bottom right) pleural surface. B, PA and lateral CXR immediately post-VATS revealing persistent atelectasis and effusion with both anterior apical and posterior basal 24F chest tubes in place. C, PA and lateral CXRs 10 days following VATS showing decreased density of the abnormality in the right lung base, suggesting improved aeration. See Figure 1 legend for expansion of other abbreviations. CHEST 2019 156, e15-e21DOI: (10.1016/j.chest.2019.02.002) Copyright © 2019 American College of Chest Physicians Terms and Conditions

Figure 5 PA and lateral CXRs at (A) discharge and (B) 1-month follow-up showing modest interval improvement. C, CXRs 5 months following discharge showing near-complete resolution of the effusion and atelectasis, although a small amount of residual pleural scarring is evident along the lateral aspect of the right hemidiaphragm. See Figure 1 legend for expansion of abbreviations. CHEST 2019 156, e15-e21DOI: (10.1016/j.chest.2019.02.002) Copyright © 2019 American College of Chest Physicians Terms and Conditions
