This is a 62-year-old female that was enrolled
0:04
on lung cancer screening
0:06
because she is a current smoker
0:09
with a 40 pack year smoking history.
0:12
On the prior lung cancer screening,
0:14
an A speculated nodule in the right upper lobe was found.
0:18
This nodule had multiple speculations
0:23
and a follow-up was recommended as this was suspicious
0:27
for malignant nodule.
0:29
The follow-up CT showed an interval growth
0:33
and increase in density of these nodule
0:36
with a more defined speculations and
0:38
therefore an FDG PTT was requested
0:42
for further evaluation of this nole as well as staging.
0:47
Here we have the FDG PET for this patient
0:50
and we're gonna focus the discussion on the
0:52
most relevant findings.
0:54
On the ME images, you can already see where the site
0:58
of abnormality is, which is that lung nodule.
1:01
Taking a closer look, we can see that the nodule
1:06
of concern shows intense FDG uptake
1:09
with an SUV max of 6.1.
1:13
In this case, there was no suspicion
1:17
for noal involvement in the hila or mediastinum,
1:22
and there was no evidence of disease outside of the
1:28
intra thoracic findings.
1:30
In this case, the morphologic features, as well
1:33
as the intense tracer uptake were highly concerning.
1:37
This patient underwent a biopsy
1:39
and these turned out to be an adenocarcinoma.
1:43
They also sampled the
1:46
lymph nodes in the mediastinum in multiple stations,
1:49
and they were all negative confirming the findings we have
1:52
seen on our PET ct.
