A 60-year-old lady with mild fever, blood tinged sputum, and a left upper lung mass had whole body F-18 2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)-computer tomography (CT) for cancer staging. The PET-CT imaging revealed FDG accumulation in the left upper lung lesion. The histopathology of the left upper lobe lung resection showed a parasite tunnel with necrosis, parasite ova, and foreign body giant cells. After surgery, eosinophiles in the peripheral blood dropped from 20% of white cell counts before operation to 5.5% at 7 weeks postoperation.
一位60岁女性，有低热、痰中带血及左上肺肿块，行全身F-18 2-脱氧-D-葡萄糖（FDG）正电子发射断层扫描（PET）-计算机断层扫描（CT）以进行癌症分期。PET-CT成像显示左上肺病变处有FDG聚集。左上叶肺切除标本的组织病理学检查显示有带坏死的寄生虫隧道、寄生虫卵及异物巨细胞。术后外周血嗜酸性粒细胞从术前白细胞计数的20%降至术后7周时的5.5%。
