A 57-year-old male patient whose prior chest CT revealed a large pulmonary mass. (Fig. 2). A–D (FDG) PET/CT. A axial view: A large metabolically active right lower lobe posterior segment mass lesion is noted measuring about 6.73 × 5.45 cm eliciting metabolic activity of max.SUV ~ 19.1. Irregular surrounding atelectasis and associated overlying pleural thickening/infiltration. B Metabolically active aortocaval, portohepatic lymphadenopathy with max.SUV ~ 11.69. C Left adrenal metabolically active lesion with max.SUV ~ 7.9. D Full-body coronal MIP PET showing the primary lung mass and lymph nodes with adrenal metastasis. The tissue sampling was obtained via endoscopic biopsy proved to be squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)
