TODO - Case Presentation: A 27-year-old man from Eritrea presented to the ED complaining about a progressively worse blunt chest pain in the anterior right hemithorax. Chest pain started 4 years ago and was intermittent. During the last 6 months, symptoms got worse, and the patient experienced shortness of breath in mild exercise. For this purpose, he visited another institution, where a chest radiograph was performed (Fig 1). He was advised to visit a pulmonologist for further evaluation, with the diagnosis of a loculated pleural effusion in the right upper hemithorax. © 2020 American College of Chest Physicians
