PET/CT image of a 64-year-old male with oesophageal cancer showed lymph node enlargement in subcarinal area. The lymph node’s CT attenuation was high as 112 HU (a) with SUVmax of 4.4 (b), and this lesion was revealed to be benign lymph node after surgery. Meanwhile, PET/CT image of a 65-year-old male oesophageal cancer patient with lymph node enlargement in subcarinal area showed a low CT attenuation of 23 HU (c) with a SUVmax of 4.4 (d) which revealed to be a metastatic lymph node.
