Computed tomography of the chest without contrast. (a) Axial view, mediastinal window at the level of the aortic arch reveals three pleural based nodules one of which is densely calcified, round, and smoothly marginated. (b) Axial view, mediastinal window of the lower thorax shows two pleural based smoothly marginated nodules of soft tissue density, one of which is partially calcified and lobulated (white arrow).
