33-year-old female presents with a cough. Chest X-ray in the frontal view shows a region of increased density in the medial right lower lung field. The cardio mediastinal shadow is shifted to the left. On the lateral view a moderate sized pectus excavatum causes a decrease in the A_P diameter of the chest, compresses the lung accounting for the increased density and causes the cardio-mediastinal shadow to shift leftward.
