Findings: PA radiograph shows a faint opacity in the left mid-lung field (A, arrow), better seen in the cone down view (B, arrow). The opacity is ill-defined, and my first impression would be an intrapulmonary lesion.
The lateral view shows that the opacity is located in the posterior chest wall. It has a typical pregnancy sign (C, arrow), indicating an extrapulmonary origin.
Enhanced axial CT confirms a low-density chest wall mass (D, arrow). Note the anterior displacement of the intercostal vessel (D, red arrow).
Final diagnosis: lymphoma of chest wall
Congratulations to all of you who diagnosed a chest wall lesion. Special mention to MK, who was the first to give the answer.
Teaching point: This case documents the importance of the lateral chest to clarify indeterminate findings in the PA radiograph.
