A 51-year-old male patient with a history of peripheral bronchial carcinoma in the medial aspect of the apical segment of the right lower lobe which was managed by CRT. A, C Axial chest CT (lung window) showed right apical lung scarring along the cone bead of irradiation. B, D PET/CT images showed high uptake (hot areas) at the scarring tissue. E, F Axial chest CT (lung window) showed peripheral lung carcinoma. G DWI showed diffusion restriction (bright signal) and H ADC mapping images showed corresponding low ADC value. Diagnosis: Proved patient with secondary malignancy on top of post-irradiation scarring
