Pleural effusion

Pleural effusion, sometimes referred to as “water on the lungs,” is the build-up of excess fluid between the layers of the pleura outside the lungs. The pleura are thin membranes that line the lungs and the inside of the chest cavity and act to lubricate and facilitate breathing. Normally, a small amount of fluid is present in the pleura

Prominent supraclavicular lymph nodes

Supraclavicular refers to the hollow space just above the clavicle (collarbone). Lymph nodes are small bean-shaped structures that are part of the body's immune system. Lymph nodes filter substances that travel through the lymphatic fluid, and they contain lymphocytes (white blood cells) that help the body fight infection and disease. There are hundreds of lymph nodes found throughout the body. Sometimes lymph nodes are noted on imaging to be prominent (enlarged) and reactive (appearing swollen). Anything that causes inflammation can cause prominent lymph nodes. Most often this is from a viral infection or injury; other less common causes include bacterial infection, malignancy, autoimmune disorders, as well as medications.
