摘要
Empyema necessitans should be suspected in any patient presenting with constitutional symptoms, pleural effusion, and a subcutaneous chest wall mass. Thoracic sonography is a readily available tool, which can expedite diagnosis and timely management. We present a case of empyema necessitans presenting 1 year after thoracoscopic surgery. This unusual entity should be suspected in any patient presenting with constitutional symptoms, pleural effusion, and a subcutaneous chest wall mass. Thoracic sonography is a readily available tool, which can expedite diagnosis and timely management.image
