Opacity with lobulated smooth margins in the medial basal segment of the right lower lobe with a few small cystic components superiorly. Arterial supply from the thoraco-abdominal aorta. Drainage appears intrapulmonary.
Elsewhere there is atelectasis in the lung bases. No pneumothorax, rib fracture or other traumatic injury identified.
Case Discussion
