Female, 74 years old.Reason: dyspnea History: as above Left upper lobe airspace and interstitial opacity with an associated small pleural effusion.

Left upper lobe airspace and interstitial opacity with an associated small pleural effusion. There is associated volume loss raising the question of bronchial obstruction. In an acute presentation a pneumonia may have this appearance however the findings are suspicious for a lung cancer and follow up with contrast enhanced chest and upper abdomen CT should be considered for better characterization. Findings were discussed with Dr. Stern at the time of report.
