The melting ice cube sign describes the resolution of pulmonary hemorrhage following pulmonary embolism (PE).
When there is pulmonary hemorrhage without infarction following PE, the typical wedge-shaped, pleural-based opacification (Hampton's hump) resolves within a week while preserving its typical shape. It is named due to its resemblance with a melting ice cube .
