Clinical Image

A 36 year old man, non smoker who is previously fit and well presented with 10 days history of progressive shortness of breath on exertion, dry cough and dizziness with minimal constitutional symptoms. He was in respiratory distress on examination and his chest x-ray showed complete white left lung with significant mediastinal shift (Figure 1) and an urgent bedside thoracic ultrasound showed a large area of solid mass and did not show much effusion and hence a CT chest was requested. Findings where that of missed density mass filling much of the left hemithorax and invading the mediastinum (Figure 2). The ultrasound guided biopsy result showed well-differentiated mediastinal liposarcoma.
