FDG PET/CT in Hepatoid Adenocarcinoma of the Lung

Clin Nucl Med. 2016 Jul;41(7):e340-1. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000001231.

Abstract

A right upper lung mass was incidentally found on a chest radiograph in a routine health examination in a 56-year-old man. The mass showed mild heterogeneous enhancement on contrast chest CT images and intense FDG uptake on PET/CT images. Pathological examination demonstrated hepatoid adenocarcinoma in the lung.
