Calcified and non calcified pleural plaques consistent with prior asbestos exposure. A right upper lobe mass with intense FDG uptake.
Case Discussion
There is evidence of prior asbestos exposure demonstrated by the calcified and non calcified pleural plaques. The single image fused FDG PET/CT lung window shows intense FDG avidity in the right upper lobe mass. The asbestos increases the risk of primary lung cancer and mesothelioma 1. The mass is biopsy proven adenocarcinoma.
