A 52-year-old male patient presented with left vocal cord paralysis. A Axial fused PET CT image reveals loss of normal left vocal cord physiological uptake, secondary to intensely avid soft tissue mass lesion infiltrating the left lower lateral wall of trachea (axial fused PET CT image B and coronal CT; C image; red arrows) encroaching on its lumen achieving up to 7.96 SUV max merging with regional infiltrating left tracheobronchial, left hilar [green arrow] and subcarinal [yellow arrow] lymphadenopathies [C (coronal CT image) and D (axial fused PET CT image)]. Pathological assessment of the tracheal lesion proven to be adenoid cystic carcinoma
