| A 54-year-old man with a primary diagnosis of rectal carcinoma was found to have multiple lung lesions and a FDG avid (SUV 3.8) nodule in the anterior mediastinum during work-up. Lung lesions were proven to be metastases from the rectal primary by biopsy. However • it was felt that the anterior mediastinal nodule was atypical for a metastasis from the rectal primary; thus • he underwent the resection of the mediastinal nodule. | Mm768 |
