Subsequent radiograph shows the interval removal of the right-sided chest tube. There is no significant change in the appearance of the lungs, with the loculated right apical pneumothorax still evident. Right-sided pleural thickening may represent a component of right-sided effusion. Cardiomediastinal contours are unchanged with stable prominence of the hilum bilaterally.
Simple pleural effusion (Uncertain) Pleural scarring (Present) Loculated pneumothorax (Present)
