A 42-year-old lady was referred for investigation of recurrent right pleural effusions over a six month period. A computed Tomography (CT) was requested to outrule an underlying malignancy. The patient had a known history of chronic renal failure, for which she was treated with peritoneal dialysis for the pre - vious four years.
