Modified Hammar Classification of Visceral Pleural Invasion (VPI) for lung cancer
If a tumor invades beyond the elastic layer it is PL1. Tumors that invade to the pleural surface are PL2 and those that invade into any component of the parietal pleura are PL3. PL1 or PL2 indicate VPI and are a T2 descriptor. PL3 indicates invasion of the parietal pleura and is a T3 descriptor.

encased and is no longer visible, which means that the tumor is not resectable.

Utility of PET/CT in differentiating benign from malignant adrenal nodules.
• 112 adrenal nodules in 96 patients. • Adrenal nodules (+) if average SUV > the liver. • 25 / 30 malignant nodules had (+) PET • 12 / 82 benign nodules were (+) PET • Sensitivity of 83.3% and Specificity of 85.4%. • 4/5 malignant nodules with (+) PET had previous therapy. • PPV was 67%, and the NPV was 93%. • Adrenal masses that are not FDG avid are likely benign. • Significant false-negative rate in patients being treated. • A considerable # of benign nodules have FDG activity.

Three-dimensional drawing shows the surgical anatomy of the superior sulcus
Anatomy of the superior sulcus divided into anterior, middle, and posterior compartments by the scalene muscles. The anterior compartment contains the subclavian vein; the middle compartment (interscalene triangle) contains the subclavian artery and its branches, as well as the trunks of the brachial plexus; and the posterior compartment contains the costovertebral groove, the roots of the brachial plexus, and the stellate ganglion.

Discussion
• Incidental FDG avid focal nodules in the
thyroid gland could represent a malignancy in about a third of these findings.
• Ultrasound evaluation with biopsy may be necessary to verify either a benign thyroid nodule or cancer.

Patterns of Tumor Spread Lung Cancer
• Incidence of hematogenously disseminated metastases is related to cell type.
• Hematogenous dissemination occurs late with SCC. • Hematogenous dissemination is high with invasive
adenoca, large cell ca, and small cell ca and low with localized/indolent adenoca.
• Lymphatic dissemination of metastasis occurs late with SCC and early and frequently in patients with invasive adenocarcinoma, large cell carcinoma, and SCLC.
• Lymphatic pathways explaining the likely pattern of spread of mediastinal nodal metastases based on the lobar location of the primary tumor are unreliable.

What is your impression of the uptake in crico-arytenoid muscles and the
diaphragm? A) Lymphoma B) Inflammation or lymphoma C) Inflammation D) Variant uptake

Answer: Variant uptake caused by singultus
• Patient had chronic hiccups, for 2 weeks.
• Continued to have hiccups during the uptake
phase following FDG injection and PET/CT scanning.

Teaching points
• FDG uptake is increased in muscles
contracting during the uptake phase.
• History is important, including the patient conditions during the period following FDG injection and during image acquisition.
