2 Fig 1 (A) Chest roentgenogram revealing two circular well circumscribed opacities in the right upper and mid zones. (B) Both lesions almost completely resolved with residual linear opacities only.

3 Fig 2 (A) Computed tomographic scan of the thorax (axial view with contrast) demonstrates a large parenchymal mass with rim enhancement. (B) Computed tomographic scan 12 months later shows complete resolution of mass with residual linear markings only.

4 Fig 3 (A) Fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron-emission tomographic scan showing intense hypermetabolism in the right lung mass. (B) Fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron-emission tomographic scan 12 months after surgery shows complete absence of hypermetabolism.
