Images of 50-year-old woman with diagnosed adenocarcinoma of the left lung. Left pulmonary artery was visualized being encased with tumor tissue at less than 180° (arrow) which indicated no involvement of the vessel on transverse MDCT (a).

The invasion was then confirmed with pathology (tumor was staged T4)
