Patient case• 56 yo Chinese never-smoking female, mother of 2, no PMHx• Routine health check-up (asymptomatic) right chest opacity
on CXR• CT-PET fusion revealed RML mass 1.8 cm (SUV 5.2) and right
mediastinal and subcarinal LN involvement• VAT revealed pleural nodules (Lobectomy + mediastinal LN
resection aborted, RML mass wedge resection and pleural nodules biopsy performed)
• Lung mass & pleural nodules: well-differentiated adenocarcinoma with BAC features
• MRI of brain negative• Stage: T4 N2 M0 (current staging) or T1 N2 M1 (new staging)
