Abstract

A 67-year-old male with a known history of stage IV Hodgkin’s disease, recently treated with chemotherapy, presented with a 3-day history of increasing dyspnoea. Clinically he had evidence of bilateral pleural effusions and was found to be neutropaenic. Two CXRs were performed on the same day (Images 1 and 2) and a CT shortly after the first of these (Image 3).
