    Thank you for replying Tom. Family dr said next step is to biopsy the large mass. We are not sure if we need a pulmonary dr or ENT dr to do the biopsy. We are still waiting to find out what kind of dr. We hope the biopsy will be done asap and get results soon. Thanks so much for your help these past few days.

    Hi Tom, my mom got the results of pet scan. I am trying to figure it out. Dr didn't say much only she needed a biopsy. can you have a look at it. Thank you Neck: hypermetabolic activity along the right lateral aspect of the larynx with suv max 8.9 with no identifiable mass by CT. This is non specific. Correlate clinically. THORAX: Background mediastinal activity is SUV max 2.2 Large hypermetabolic left hilar/mediastinal mass with SUV max 23.9. The epicenter of the mass is at the left hilum, measuring at least 6cm transverse, with extension superiorly along the mediastinum to the thoracic inlet. There is adjacent hypermetabolic left lower lobe infiltrate and pleural thickening, which could be neoplactic and/or inflammatory. There is a 2nd 4.0cm hypermetabolic mass more inferiorly abutting the lateral aspect of the descending aorta with SUV max 10.0, extending inferiorly to the level of the diaphragm along the posteromedial mediastinum. This could be a 2nd adjacent mass, or a bilobed component of the left perihilar mass. Two hypermetabolic mediastinal nodes, measuring 1.5cm posterior to the carina SUV max 6.5, and 1.2 cm between the aorta and esophagus with SUV max 2.7. Numerous hypermetabolic hepatic lesions, too numerous to count, with a representative right lobe lesion measuring 2.2cm on image #139 SUV max 8.8 and 1.7cm in the left lobe on image #135 SUV max 8.6. MUSCULOSKELETAL: hypermetabolic osseous Foci compatible with metastatic disease,located in the anterior arch of C1, T6, and the proximal left femoral diaphysis. Low dose CT images: Scattered subcentimeter mediastinal nodes are present in the prevascular space, not hypermetabolic. Several additional parenchymal nodules are present, not hypermetabolic as follows: 4mm right medial apex #53, 2 and 3mm in the anterior right upper lobe on #75 and #78, 7mm right lower lobe on #94,3mm pleural-based left lower lobe #91. The cervix is prominent, however not hypermetabolic, therefore likely within the range of normal. IMPRESSION: 1. Large hypermetabolic left hilar/mediastinal mass with a bilobed component or immediately adjacent 2nd mass just inferior. These masses extend along the entire mediastinum, from the thoracic inlet to the diaphragm. Hypermetabolic mediastinal adenopathy. 2. Hypermetabolic left lower lobe infiltrate with pleural thickening, possibly postobstructive, with known neoplasm not excluded. 3. Extensive hypermetabolic hepatic metastatic disease 4. Hypermetabolic osseous metastatic disease 5. Additional subcentimeter parenchymal nodules as delineated above.

    Tom, Thanks so much for your help. It does not sound good at all. It says there is a left para-aortic node in abdomen. Does this mean there is a nodule or mass in her abdomen. If that's the case, is it spread. Thank you

    Hi, my mom just had a Ct scan last night. We went to the doc this morning. He said she had 1 mass and 3 nodules on right lung. I asked for a copy of the report. It seems very concerning. I was wondering if you guys could have a look and let me know what exactly it all is. she has a pet scan scheduled for Monday. thanks lung parenchyma: There is a large mass centered in the left hilum. It measures 5.5 cm at the level of the carina transversely. It extends superiority and inferior you. There is a 2nd contiguous mass seen inferiority. It is uncertain as to whether this is mediastinal parenchyma. It measures 4cm transversely. This large lobulated contiguous mass narrows the posterior inferior left pulmonary vein and the lower lobe pulmonary artery on the left. This is highly suspicious for neoplasm. Tissue sampling is suggested. The left lower lobe bronchus is also affected. There is a left lower lobe consolidation possibly representing postobstructive atelectasis. The right lung demonstrates three nodular densities. There is a 6mm nodular density seen in the right lower lobe on image 66 of series A2. Two ovoid nodular densities are seen measuring 6 and 4mm on image 65 within the right major fissure probably representing intrapulmonary lymph nodes. Mesiastinium: The paranchymal mass described above extends superiorly almost to the thoracic inlet lying to the left of the trachea and anterior to the esophagus. There is also a subcarinal extension of the mass. These finding may represent contiguous adenopathy. Hila: See above the mass described involves the left hilum. There is a 6mm right hilar lymph node. Abdomen: There is a left para-aortic node measuring 1.2 x 1.1cm seen on image of series A1. IMPRESSION: Large left hilar/mediastinal/infrahilar mass as described above. Findings are highly suspicious for malignancy. PET scanning to determine extent of disease and tissue sampling are suggested. Thank you for any help you can give.
