A 58×51 mm mass with an irregular margin and inhomogeneous enhancement is noted in the left upper lobe. Additionally, a few small subpleural nodules, less than 6 mm, are present at the same lobe. There are also several atelectatic bands scattered bilaterally.
Post-operative changes are seen due to sternotomy and CABG.
