PET-CT scan from vertex to mid-thigh.a. Neck: Thrombosis of right IJV, right subclavian, and axillary veins with adjacent soft tissue standing.b. Chest: 4.4×3 cm pleural based metabolically active soft tissue in the right upper lobe abutting the adjacent diaphragmatic pleural, likely of neoplastic etiology. Peripheral lung nodule in the apical segment of right lower lobe: metastasisc. Musculoskeletal: Metabolically active lytic lesion involving the left posterior 2nd rib. Degenerative changes are noted in spine.Histopathology report: Left rib lesion biopsy. Features are of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma.
