Axial lung window

Irregular thick walled subpleural cavity filled with air is seen in the right upper lung lobe with adjacent pleural extension. There is a background of panlobular emphysema of both lungs more in the upper lobes.
Two hepatic focal lesions detected at upper abdominal cuts.
Case Discussion
Transthoracic needle biopsy revealed lung adenocarcinoma. The tumor size was 3 cm in the greatest dimension and hence staged as T1b. The hepatic focal lesions are proved later to be hemangiomas.
