case_images: CT of the chest following treatment for peripheral T-cell lymphoma showing a new 1.2 cm nodule in the medial right lower lobe just posterolateral to the distal bronchus intermedius. The nodule appears solid with smooth and spiculated margins and surrounding subtle interstitial thickening. No other obvious abnormalities were noted on CT imaging.

case_images: However, a new 1.2 cm pulmonary nodule was seen in the superior-medial aspect of the right lower lobe just lateral to the distal bronchus intermedius (Figure 1).
case_images: PET-CT scan showing the hypermetabolic nodule with a SUV of 5.7, concerning for a possible primary pulmonary malignancy.

case_images: A subsequent positron emission tomography-CT (PET-CT) scan revealed this nodule to be hypermetabolic with a standardized uptake value (SUV) of 5.7, raising the suspicion for a possible primary pulmonary malignancy (Figure 2).
