On a routine chest X-ray she had pleural nodular masses (Figure 1).
Axial contrast-enhanced CT revealed soft-tissue lesions (arrows) in the subcutaneous tissue of the posterolateral wall of the left hemithorax.

A contrast-enhanced CT study of the chest demonstrated a soft-tissue lesion within the subcutaneous tissue of the posterolateral wall of the left hemithorax (Figure 2).
Of note is the soft-tissue lesions (arrows) on the left diaphragmatic pleura on coronal CECT images.

In addition, nodular lesions were found in the costal and diaphragmatic pleura of the left hemithorax (Figure 3).
A diffusion-weighted image (A) and diffusion coefficient map (B) show a significant restriction of the lesions (arrows) within subcutaneous tissue of the posterolateral wall of the left hemitorax. ADC value was calculated.

The subcutaneous lesion and posterior costal pleural lesion showed significant restriction in diffusion-weighted images (Figure 4).
ADC values calculated for the left costal pleural lesion.

Region of interest was drawn on the ADC map and ADC values were determined 1. 10x10-3 mm2/s and 0. 963x10-3 mm2/s, respectively (Figure 5).
(A) A posterior view of 99mTc-labeled heat-damaged red blood cell (RBC) scan shows multiple areas of increased activity in the subcutaneous tissue (arrow). (B) The posterior planar image revealed abnormal hot spots on the diaphragmatic (arrow) and posterior costal pleura (open arrow).
