Pleural calcification after remote right pneumonectomy

Extensive parietal pleural calcifications after remote right pneumonectomy. CT shows residual liquid in the vacant, small right hemithorax with circumferential dystrophic calcification of the remaining parietal pleura and extensive cardiomediastinal shift to the right. The adjacent right-sided ribs are sclerotic due to postoperative changes.

CT: computed tomography.
