Abstract

We described on computed tomography, two cases of pleural tuberculosis with parietal pleural enhancement and thickening associated with another external high density line. We called this parietal pleural and extra pleural change, the "double band sign". After study of the regional anatomy, we think that this external line is the endothoracic fascia.
