Abstract:
A 46-year-old woman presented with cough for over 20 days, unrelieved by anti-inflammation treatment. Diffuse wall thickening and mildly luminal stenosis of the lower trachea and both main bronchi were observed on chest CT examination. The pathology after bronchoscopy confirmed non-Hodgkin lymphoma (mucosa-associated lymphatic tissue, MALT). FDG PET/CT was performed to evaluate the extent of the disease, which demonstrated the abnormal FDG accumulation in the diffusely thicken wall of trachea and bronchi, without lymph nodes and other extranodal tissue involvement.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
