A 68-year-old male, former smoker, presented with a long history of severe pulmonary insufficiency, which had been managed for several years with oxygen therapy. More recently, as his pulmonary function improved the oxygen therapy was stopped.

Right upper lobe lung tumor

A recent radiograph showed a 4cm diameter tumor in the right upper lobe. CT-scan confirmed a solid mass 48 x 42mm in right upper lobe, with suspicious infra-cranial nodes (between 15 and 20mm in diameter). A PET scan showed a fixed primary tumor but a mobile mediastinum. Cranial CT and abdominal CT were normal. The tumor was considered as stage T2-3 N0-M0.
