case_images: Chest X-ray showed an abnormal shadow in the left hilum lesion (Fig. 1).
case_images: Contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography revealed a solid lung tumor in the left lower lobe, and it invaded the inferior pulmonary vein to the left atrium.

case_images: Contrast-enhanced CT showed that blood flow into the left inferior pulmonary vein could not be visualized; therefore, we assumed that the tumor was invading the inferior pulmonary vein to the LA (Fig. 2).
case_images: Positron emission tomography-computed tomography showed that the lung tumor had very strong uptake. There was no abnormal uptake indicating a distant metastasis.

case_images: Positron emission tomography-CT showed that the lung tumor had very strong uptake, but fortunately, there was no abnormal uptake indicating a distant metastasis (Fig. 3).
