There is circumferential pleural thickening greater than 1 cm with mediastinal pleural involvement at the left side. Pulmonary parenchyma infiltration also is noted with CT angiogram sign. Fluid collection also is seen at left pleural space.
Case Discussion
The findings are:
- circumferential nodular pleural thickening
- parietal pleural thickening greater than 1 cm
- mediastinal pleural involvement
These findings are consistent of malignant involvement of pleura. In a patient with lymphoma these appearance compatible with pleural involvement of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
