Abstract:
Breast carcinomas are well known for expression of estrogen receptor (ER) however there are other malignancies that are also express ER, possibly confounding the diagnostic interpretation of 16α-[18F]fluoro-17β-estradiol (FES; Cerianna GE HealthCare) in patients with both ER+ breast carcinomas and other malignancies. We present a case of a woman with prior history of both ER+ breast carcinoma and pulmonary adenocarcinoma with subsequent identification of an FES pulmonary nodule that was proven on histopathology to be consistent with an ER expressing pulmonary adenocarcinoma metastasis.

A pleural effusion is the abnormal collection of fluid between the parietal and visceral pleura layers of tissue that form the lining of the lungs and chest cavity. It can occur independently or due to surrounding parenchymal diseases, such as infection, malignancy, or inflammatory conditions.

01:30Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

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...
