MRI finding of chronic hemorrhagic empyema: a case report.
We report a case of 64-year-old man with chronic hemorrhagic empyema. T1- and T2-weighted MR images showed variably hyperintense areas in the tumor that reflected the presence of fresh and old hematoma. Gd-DTPA-enhanced MRI revealed capillary bleeding in the periphery of the mass.
