A, PET maximum intensity projection (MIP) image revealed an FDG-avid mass with a SUVmax of 4.9 in the right lung. Increased accumulation of FDG in the right paratracheal, right hilar lymph nodes (arrowheads) and bone marrow were also noted. On axial images (B, low dose CT; C, PET/CT fusion) there were ground-glass opacities (GGO) with areas of focal consolidation primarily in the right upper lobe (arrows) and a focal opacity in the left upper and right middle lobes (arrows). Follow-up CT 4-day later demonstrated progression of lesions in bilateral upper and middle lobes with newly developed focal opacities in the left upper and lower lobes (D, arrows).
