Fig. 3From: Detection of additional primary malignant tumor in cancer survivors: the use of PET/CT for image-guided biopsyA 56-year-old male underwent left nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma papillary type, grade II and superficial parotidectomy for papillary cytadenoma lymphomatosum. CT (a, b), PET (c), and PET/CT (d) revealed metabolically active necrotizing right pleural-based malignant pulmonary mass in the apical segment of right lower measuring 6.2 × 5 cm SUVmax 4.8, no regional lymphadenopathy or distant metastasis. CT-guided core biopsy revealed necrotizing round cell neoplasm. PET/CT (e) reveals clear operative beds with no metabolically active residual/recurrent parotid tumor. MIP PET (f) image confirm the previous findings. PET/CT (g) shows newly detected lung cancer in 3 planesBack to article page
