FDG avid solitary pulmonary nodule mimicking lung cancer

A healthy 49-year-old nonsmoker lady, who was found to have an incidental finding of a lung lesion on a chest X-ray. A Chest CT scan was performed and revealed left upper lobe, 1.5 cm solitary nodule with ground glass borders that highly suspicious for Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma and warranted furt...

description A healthy 49-year-old nonsmoker lady, who was found to have an incidental finding of a lung lesion on a chest X-ray. A Chest CT scan was performed and revealed left upper lobe, 1.5 cm solitary nodule with ground glass borders that highly suspicious for Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma and warranted further investigation to rule out malignancy. The FDG PET and/or CT scan was performed for staging and further evaluation and it displayed avidity of the nodule with a standardized uptake value (SUV) of 6.2, no abnormal uptake elsewhere in the body. CT guided biopsy was arranged and the histopathology result revealed eosinophilic pneumonia.
