case_images: A follow-up chest X-ray after 6 days indicated progressive infiltrations, and subsequently a thoracic CT (Fig. 2a) was performed, showing patchy alterations in both lungs that were interpreted as organizing pneumonia; malignant metastatic embolism was indicated as a possible differential diagnosis in the report.

case_images: Fig4
case_images: A PET-CT (positron emission tomography-computed tomography) scan was performed that showed no evidence of distant metastasis and no clear FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose) enhancement of the 20-mm cardiac mass, but progressing pulmonary embolism was implied and cardiac MRI was recommended (Fig. 4).
