Summary: | Laboratory results included haemoglobin of 10.9 g/dl and platelet count of 113 000/μl. An oblique coronal reformatted image was performed by multislice computed tomography (MSCT) and demonstrated non-tapering distal branches of the left pulmonary artery with an adjacent area of ground-glass attenuation, indicating the culprit lesions (asterisk). |
