A 52-year-old man with suspected primary lung malignancy. a The intraprocedural non-contrast CT image (using mediastinal soft tissue window) showed a heterogenous mass in right upper lobe. b 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging showed heterogeneous uptake (SUVmax 10.2) in the mass with periphery hypometabolism. c CT and prior PET/CT fused image showed the biopsy needle punctured into hypermetabolic region of the mass. Surgical resection showed poorly differentiated lung adenocarcinoma with atelectasis
