title: An unusual extension of pericardial effusion in a case of pulmonary adenocarcinoma.
abstract: A case of pericardial metastasis from adenocarcinoma of lung was having a separate paratracheal bulge at left border of aorta mimicking a tumour. This was a very uncommon extension of pericardial effusion. Interestingly this mediastinal bulge on left border of aorta disappeared completely immediately after pericardio-centesis. The rarity of chest roentgenographic findings prompted us to report this case.
