A Case Report of Pericardial Effusion with False-Positive Mesothelioma and Adenocarcinoma Markers as the Initial Presentation of Systemic Lupus Erythematous

Figure 3

Coronal view of chest CT with angiography obtained due to concern for aortic dissection shows large pericardial effusion (red line) without aortic dissection, pericardial or pleural thickening, or pericardial or pleural masses. Bilateral axillary lymph nodes with normal reniform morphology were present and were thought to be reactive in the setting of large pericardial effusion.
