Preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan. This CT demonstrates large mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes with the largest being located in station VII (subcarinal nodes) with a 5.6 cm diameter (arrow) resulting in a mass effect on the bronchus and hilar vessels.

Preoperative thoracic and abdominal computed tomography scan (CT scan) demonstrated large mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes exerting a mass effect on the bronchus and hilar vessels, especially in the right lower lobe (Figure 1).
PET-FDG computed tomography scan performed 6 months after surgery and radioiodone ablation. The right superior pulmonary vein appears occluded by a thrombus (arrow).

Nevertheless, the right superior pulmonary vein appeared occluded by a thrombus and in close contact with a hypermetabolic (SUV max 9.5) hilar mass with a 5 cm diameter (Figure 2).
