Figure 3

A 51-year-old male patient, presenting tumor marker increase after surgery for lung cancer. (a) Axial, contrast-enhanced, full-dose CT showed a paravertebral lesion, which was slightly enlarged and significantly more hyperemic with respect to a previous CT scan. (b) The lesion showed very mild FDG uptake; it was, however, classified as highly suspicious on the basis of the contrast-enhanced CT component of the exam. Biopsy confirmed the presence of lung adenocarcinoma metastasis. Accordingly, the patient was referred for radiotherapy. CT, computed tomography; FDG, [18 F] fluorodeoxyglucose.
