This case reports a 54-year-old lady with a chest X-ray showing a lung mass that was later identified to be eventration or abnormal elevation of a part of the diaphragm. This article discusses eventration of the right diaphragm and liver herniation, that although relatively rare, has characteristic radiological appearances.
