PET-CT chest shows hypermetabolic activity among cardiac and mediastinal structures.. (a) mediastinal lymph nodes, (b) perihilar lymph nodes, and (c) interventricular septum.. PET-CT: positron emission tomography-computed tomography

The patient instead undergoes a FDG-PET, which shows areas of hypermetabolism in lymph nodes of the supraclavicular region, mediastinum, and hila (Figures 1a-1b), as well as small right lung pulmonary nodules (Figure 2). More interestingly, it showed areas of high metabolic activity along the interventricular septum, posing a viable etiology for the patient's atrioventricular dysfunction (Figure 1c).
