Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A 67-year-old man presented with right-sided chest and shoulder pain. Chest roentgenogram demonstrated a right upper zone shadow. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a pleural mass and adjacent chest wall disease. Image-guided percutaneous biopsy suggested malignant mesothelioma. We describe the use of 18-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (PET-CT) in the diagnosis and management of localized malignant mesothelioma.
