Abstract

It has been suggested that hyperdensity of pleural effusion, as seen on CT, is indicative of hemothorax. We report a case in which CT revealed delayed contrast enhancement of pleural effusion on, with no evidence of hemothorax. This phenomenon is clinically important because delayed enhancement can mimic hyperdensity of hemothorax.
