Abstract

Pulmonary enteric adenocarcinoma(PEAC) is a rare variant of pulmonary adenocarcinoma. We herein report FDG PET/CT findings of PEAC in a 76-year-old woman. The images showed widespread opacities in both lungs with intense FDG uptake. The pathology revealed pulmonary enteric adenocarcinoma.
