    Metastases to the breast from non-mammary malignant neoplasm are relatively rare. We report a case of metastatic disease to the breast from a primary lung adenocarcinoma in a young 22-year-old lady. Computed tomography of the thorax confirmed right upper lobe mass with multiple lung nodules and a breast lump. The diagnosis of breast metastasis was confirmed by fine needle aspiration cytology of the breast lump with histopathological findings and immunohistochemical features consistent with lung adenocarcinoma.

    BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Pulmonary nodules are commonly encountered in clinical practice because of the recent implementation of low-dose CT lung screening programme, incidental finding on cardiac CT or CT for nonthoracic related disease. 18F-FDG PET-CT plays an important role in the management of pulmonary nodules.

    METHODS: In this pictorial review, we present six different scenarios of using 18F-FDG PET-CT in the management of suspicious pulmonary nodule or mass. The advantages and limitations of 18F-FDG PET-CT and Herder model are discussed.

    RESULTS: 18F-FDG PET-CT with risk assessment using Herder model provides added value in characterising indeterminate pulmonary nodules. Besides, 18F-FDG PET-CT is valuable to guide the site of biopsy and provide accurate staging of lung cancer.

    CONCLUSION: To further improve its diagnostic accuracy, careful history taking, and CT morphological evaluation should be taken into consideration when interpreting 18FFDG PET-CT findings in patients with these nodules.

  3. Fulltext Multiple cavitating pulmonary nodules secondary to Hodgkin's lymphoma

    We report a 26-year old lady who presented with chronic cough and breathlessness associated with subtle
    TB symptoms for 1 year. Her CT thorax showed multiple cavitating pulmonary nodules with mediastinal and
    cervical lymphadenopathy. Cervical lymph node biopsy and CT-guided pulmonary biopsy at our centre
    confirmed the diagnosis of Hodgkin’s lymphoma with pulmonary infiltrations. She was successfully treated
    with ABVD regime but later developed life-threatening bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Sadly, she
    succumbed to respiratory failure due to severe pneumonia with possibility of bleomycin-induced pulmonary
    fibrosis. Multiple cavitating pulmonary nodules secondary to lymphoma is rare and in TB endemic area, it
    may result in delayed diagnosis and treatment.
