Figure 1 Chest imaging workup of the right upper lobe nodule(A) Computed tomography (CT) from August 2024 shows a 0.7-cm, smooth-edged subpleural nodule. (B) CT from January 2025 demonstrates interval growth to 1.7 cm. (C) Positron-emission tomography/CT reveals increased uptake (SUVmax 5.2). (D) Whole-body bone scintigraphy shows no skeletal uptake, providing evidence against a bone primary or osseous metastasis.
