Case

This 55-years old patient operated in the past for carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater presented with an incidental cavitated lung nodule on a CT abdomen in Jan.

In March, the lesion was unchanged in size but the morphology had altered.

The rest of the case discusses the approach of a growing nodule and what the final diagnosis was in this patient and how it was achieved.
