Case 71

A CT for staging oesophageal carcinoma

This elderly patient presented with dysphagia from a low oesophageal carcinoma. This CT scan was performed to stage the disease, and the dilated proximal oesophagus can be seen in the posterior mediastinum, along with some fluid within a fissure in the right hemithorax.

What other, unrelated and incidental finding is shown on these three CT images?
