Chest X-rays have always been the baseline investigation to go for in the evaluation of pulmonary diseases. With the advent of new imaging techniques, focus has shifted from X-rays to computed tomography (CT) chest with a lesser time spent on the interpretation of chest X-ray. In spite of this, chest X-ray remains an indispensable investigation as it is simple, easy, cheap, associated with low radiation dose, and most importantly, it gives significant information to guide further management. We present a case in which important finding in chest X-ray was missed and identified later which led to a complete shift in the line of treatment.
