On resection this was found to be a benign solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura. This axial CT image with intravenous contrast (same patient as in the above chest radiograph) reveals what appears to be a posterior mediastinal mass, which was surgically removed and found to be a solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura.
Because the transdiaphragmatic lymphatic channels are larger in diameter on the right, the pleural effusion is classically on the right side. The causes of the ascites and pleural effusion are poorly understood. [1] Atypical Meigs syndrome, characterized by a benign pelvic mass with right-sided pleural effusion but without ascites, can also occur.

Thoracoscopy may be performed either under general anaesthesia or under sedation with local anaesthetic. [citation needed]
These imaging techniques can detect fibrothorax and pleural thickening that surround the lungs. [7] The presence of a thickened peel with or without calcification are common features of fibrothorax when imaged. [3] CT scans can more readily differentiate whether pleural thickening is due to extra fat deposition or true pleural thickening than X ...

Malignant pleural effusion is a condition in which cancer causes an abnormal amount of fluid to collect between the thin layers of tissue lining the outside of the lung and the wall of the chest cavity. [1] Lung cancer and breast cancer account for about 50-65% of malignant pleural effusions.
