Hilar mass and effusion
- The right hilum is grossly abnormal in this image - compare with the left side where the normal vascular structures of the hilum are clearly defined
- The mediastinum is widened due to enlargement of lymph nodes immediately to the right of the trachea - the right paratracheal stripe is no longer visible
- Blunting of the right costophrenic angle and formation of a ‘meniscus’ are typical features of a pleural effusion
- Lung cancer was confirmed following bronchoscopy and biopsy
