Chest CT scan of the patient treated with carboplatin and paclitaxel: the CT scan showed bilateral intrapulmonary metastases during initial workup with a 7.6 cm x 7.3 cm dominant mass in right lower lobe and a 7.4 cm x 8.2 cm dominant mass in left lower lobe (a,b); partial response after chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel (c,d); and on latest follow-up, the intrapulmonary masses and nodules had significantly reduced in size or remained stable (e,f). There was no evidence of any enlarging or new intrapulmonary lesions.

The whole-body PET/CT scan and bone scan revealed multiple bilateral pulmonary metastases (Figure 1a,b) with no evidence of extrathoracic disease. A chest radiograph and CT scan taken after three cycles showed disease response (Figure 1c,d), and therefore three additional cycles of the same chemotherapy were given. Post-treatment, the latest follow-up CT scans demonstrated radiological partial response (Figure 1e,f).
