case_images: His past medical history was significant for a motor vehicle accident five years earlier that had resulted in multiple left-sided rib fractures, pulmonary contusions, and a hemopneumothorax requiring tube thoracostomy (Figure 1); this left a residual nodular density in the left lower lobe (Figure 2).

case_images: His past medical history was significant for a motor vehicle accident five years earlier that had resulted in multiple left-sided rib fractures, pulmonary contusions, and a hemopneumothorax requiring tube thoracostomy (Figure 1); this left a residual nodular density in the left lower lobe (Figure 2). This opacity had enlarged significantly when compared to the one visualized at the same location in 2012 (Figure 2).

case_images: Computed tomographic (CT) angiography of the lung demonstrated bilateral pulmonary emboli, a 6.6 x 5.4 cm opacity in the left lower lobe with interlobular septal thickening, prominent interstitial infiltrates within the left lung, and paratracheal lymphadenopathy (Figure 3).
