case_images: (a and b) Computed tomography of the thorax demonstrated a 1.5 cm spiculated left upper lobe mass and a 1.2 cm right upper lobe nodule. Positron-emitted tomography-computed tomography confirmed a 1.3 cm left upper lobe mass with a standardized uptake value of 4.2 and a mildly avid right upper lobe nodule

case_images: Positron-emitted tomography (PET)-CT demonstrated no evidence of mediastinal or hilar lymphadenopathy [Figure 1a and b].
case_images: (a and b) Follow-up computed tomography of the thorax and positron emitted tomography-computed tomography post-left upper lobectomy demonstrated only a 12 mm focus of residual linear scarring and faint fluorodeoxyglucose avidity at the site of the previous right upper lobe nodule

case_images: These findings were confirmed on PET imaging which demonstrated only faint FDG-avidity and residual linear scarring at the site of the previous right upper lobe nodule [Figure 2a and b].
