This 44 y/o man is one of our former nurses. He had gone to Florida on vacation and came back with an infectious diarrhea. The ER did a CT scan of the abdomen and they found a pulmonary nodule on the lower lung cuts (see below).
He has no respiratory symptoms whatsoever. He quit smoking in 1988 and had about a 10 pack-year total.
What do you think of the nodule (it is 11x12 mm) and what would you do next?
I thing PET is usefull
