PA chest radiograph reveals a mediastinal mass, which is in continuity with the left heart border. The hilum is visible through the mass.
From the case:
Loculated pleural effusion
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/35916/annotated_viewer_json?lang=us"}
A CT study revealed this to be a loculated pleural effusion.
