An 87-year-old woman with a history of lung cancer treated by surgery was admitted due to gradual worsening dyspnoea over the previous month. She had had asymptomatic and unchanging pericardial effusion and a pelvic mass diagnosed 3 and 11 years previously, respectively, and had been followed-up without the need for treatment. The chest X-ray showed a nodular shadow in the right lung field as well as unchanging pericardial effusion volume revealed by a chest computed tomography (CT) scan.
