Which imaging modality to chose to distinguish between benign and malignant pulmonary lesions in Diffuse Idiopathic Pulmonary NEuroendocrine Cell Hyperplasia (DIPNECH)?
PET CT is the gold standard.
FDG-PET CT denotes a focus of activity at the left perihilar soft tissue adjacent to left main pulmonary artery, compatible with malignancy. The multiple bilateral pulmonary nodules demonstrate no or low avidity.
