case_images: (a) PET scan with multiple mediastinal, axillary, and common hilar lymph nodes are appreciated, with representative lymph nodes. Multiple ground glass nodules within the bilateral lungs predominantly in a centrilobular distribution. Additional indistinct ground glass opacities along the posterior aspect of the bilateral lung. (b) CT scan with enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes demonstrated, correlating with hypermetabolic nodes from PET above. Multiple non-specific subcentimeter ground glass nodules (red arrows) throughout both lungs.

case_images: The positron emission tomography (PET) (Figure 1a) scan showed multiple hypermetabolic lymph nodes within his mediastinum nodal enlargement and pulmonary ground glass opacities. Computed tomography (CT) (Figure 1b) later reported pulmonary changes as diffuse small pulmonary nodules.
case_images: CT following the use of steroids. Mixed response in multiple pulmonary nodules, with some nodules having resolved and other nodules new.

case_images: Chest CT findings also showed an almost negligible response to steroids; though some nodules were resolving, there was formation of new nodules (Figure 2).
