Figure 1. Thoracic computed tomography (CT) illustrating the rapid progression of pleural thickening over a period of 8 weeks, with new pleural nodularity. Both of the CT scans were taken after draining most of the pleural effusion. (A) Minimal right-sided diffuse pleural thickening on the initial CT Scan (→, ↓), with presence of pleural effusion. (B) lobular thickening of the pleura on the right side with significant progression (↑, ←), along with pleural effusion.
