Whole-body 18-fluoride-fluoro deoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography-computerized tomography (PET-contrast enhanced CT) scan (a) maximum intensity projection, (b) axial CT, (c) fused PET-CT, (d) coronal CT and (e) coronal fused PET-CT) performed as per standard protocol showed an intensely FDG avid soft tissue mass in the right thoracic cavity with chest wall infiltration. Intensely FDG avid paracardiac soft tissue masses were also noted. There was a focal FDG uptake in the lateral end of left clavicle which was equivocal for metastases

Whole-body 18F-FDG PET-contrast enhanced CT scan [Figure 1] showed an intensely FDG avid soft tissue mass in the right thoracic cavity with chest wall infiltration.
Follow-up 18-fluoride-fluoro deoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography-computerized tomography (PET-CT) (a) maximum intensity projection, (b) axial CT, (c) fused PET-CT, (d) coronal CT and (e) coronal fused PET-CT showed significant reduction in the size and metabolic activity in the pleural lesion. However, residual pleural mass was still present. There was resolution of the uptake in the left clavicle. The findings indicated favorable but incomplete response to therapy
