A 62-year-old male patient presented with hoarseness of voice. (A) Fused axial PET CT image at the level of the vocal cords reveals loss of left vocal cord physiological activity (thin yellow arrows), due to an infiltrating avid nodal metastasis at the aortopulmonary (AP) window, measuring 33.6x27.9mm, achieving up to 13.59 SUV max (coronal CT image [B] and corresponding fused axial PET CT [C]), secondary to a small primary bronchogenic, speculated mass, 25x20 mm (axial CT [D] and corresponding axial fused PET CT [E]; (orange arrow) related to the anterior segment of the left upper lung lobe, achieving up to 12.64 SUV max. (F) MIP image revealed the primary lung mass [red arrow], metastatic AP window LN [orange thick arrow] and loss of left vocal cord activity [orange thin arrow]
