Fig. 1

Axial sections on chest computed tomography (CT). a Plain CT at admission: infiltrative shadow in the right lower lobe and a small amount of right pleural effusion are visible. b Enhanced CT on post-admission day 7: an extensive lung embolism extending to the right basal pulmonary artery and A6 is seen. The pleural effusion had increased compared to that on initial CT. c Enhanced CT on post-admission day 7: persistent pulmonary infiltration is visible. d Enhanced CT on post-admission day 10: the pleural effusion decreased after thoracic drainage treatment. However, a cavitary lesion, 1.2 cm in maximum diameter, is visible in the infiltrative shadow in the right lower lobe
