This week's featured #EuroRad case highlights a 67-year-old female patient with left lower lobe lung cancer underwent lobectomy. The initial post-surgical chest radiograph was unremarkable. 12 hours post extubation she developed hypoxaemia and haemoptysis. Chest radiograph was initially performed, followed by MDCT to confirm the diagnosis. Considering it's #LungCancerAwarenessMonth, what do you think the diagnosis could be?
