Computed tomography angiogram of pulmonary arteries (CTPA) revealed a large saddle shaped thrombus in main pulmonary artery, extending into the right and left pulmonary arteries as well as to the segmental branches on both sides (Figure 1).

In addition, a solitary nodule was seen in the right lower lobe measuring 16 x 10 mm, laterally and just posterior to oblique fissure (Figure 2).

Whole body [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) three months later showed the nodule to be FDG avid with a maximum standardized uptake value of 2.8. (Figure 3).
