Fig. 4C 41-year-old woman with indeterminate right lower lobe
pulmonary nodule. Anterior maximum-intensity-projection image from whole-body
18F-FDG PET does not show increased metabolic activity in inferior
right lung to correlate with this nodule, supporting benign cause. Histology
from biopsy of this nodule showed inflammatory nodule with predominantly
histiocytic reaction. This would confirm nodule-enhancement CT as
false-positive and 18F-FDG PET as true-negative for malignancy.
