What Causes Pericardial And Pleural Effusions?

What do you think. History: Right upper lobe pulmonary nodule on outside chest radiograph 7/2014 Technique: IV contrast: Ultravist-300 135 mL. CTDI 12.40, DLP 460 Findings: Right upper lobe of 1.3 cm ill-defined density could represent infection, inflammation or less likely neoplasm. Left upper lobe 0.2 cm pulmonary nodule (image 22) is noncalcified. The remaining lungs are clear. No pneumothorax is detected. The trachea is patent and no endobronchial lesions are identified. No hilar, mediastinal or axillary lymphadenopathy is demonstrated. The ascending thoracic aorta has a normal caliber and no intimal flap is seen. There is no pericardial effusion or pleural effusions. The visualized thyroid gland appears normal. The bones are unremarkable. Left liver dome 3.1 cm cyst measures fluid attenuation.
