Panel a: A posterior-anterior (PA) chest radiograph dated November, 2010 showing a large loculated pleural effusion on the right side. Earlier radiographs (now purged) were reported to show a similar abnormality. Panel b: A PA chest radiograph dated January, 2012 showing an air-fluid level in the previously described loculated effusion. It is consistent with the interval development of a bronchpleural fistula. Panel c: A computed tomographic image dated June, 2012 showing right sided volume loss and a peripherally calcified loculated right hydropneumothorax. Panel d: A PA chest radiograph dated May, 2015 showing the previously described chronic loculated effusion to be reduced in size. An air-fluid level is no longer visible
