Abstract:
We present a unique case of a heart-shaped lesion identified on Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging in a patient with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the left lung. The patient, initially diagnosed with a mass in the left upper lobe and a lytic lesion in the L3 vertebra, underwent chemoradiation therapy. Subsequent imaging revealed significant metabolic activity reduction in lung and vertebral lesions. This case emphasizes the occasional atypical and visually intriguing patterns encountered in PET/CT imaging.

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...
