case_images: A chest CT (computed tomography) scan performed 3 days after admission revealed a thick-walled fluid lesion measuring 11.5x6.3 cm in the right lobe of the liver, the walls of which undergo progressive enhancement in the subsequent phases of the examination (Figure 1). In the right pleura, a large amount of fluid, which fills the entire volume of the right half of the chest, caused compression and atelectasis of the right lung and displacement of the mediastinal organs to the left (Figure 1).
