Granulomatous Lung Nodule Mimicking as Metastasis on F18 Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in a Case of Adrenocortical Carcinoma

A variety of fungal pulmonary infections can produce radiologic findings that mimic malignancy. Distinguishing these infectious lesions from malignancy remains challenging for physicians. We describe one such case where fungal lung nodule mimicked metastasis on fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission t...
