Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 14667
  • Image ID: 1327960
  • Image stack position: 14/18
  • Plane projection: Axial
  • Aux modality: C+ arterial phase
  • Study description: CT chest for biopsy
  • Study findings: A planning CT is performed prior to transcutaneous biopsy of the mass. Due to the proximity of the mass to the aorta, despite the patients borderline renal function, a contrast bolus is administered. Contrast CT obtained for biopsy planning (see grid on anterior chest) demonstrates the mass to be a false aneurysm of the aorta rather than a pulmonary mass. Needless to say not biopsy was performed.
  • Modality: CT
  • System: Chest
  • Findings: Non contrast CT demonstrates a mass abutting the arch of the aorta, without any intervening fat plane. The center of the mass is slightly hyperdense. A number of prominent lymph nodes are present in the mediastinum. The provisional diagnosis of lung cancer, with likely direct invasion into the mediastinum (T4) was made.
