A 73-year-old @entity1 presented at a private clinic because of non productive cough. She was treated with several drugs, but no relief was obtained. She was therefore referred to our hospital for further investigations. Chest CT films revealed a solitary nodule in the right lower lung field and mediastinal and bilateral @entity3329 . The FDG-PET CT showed a high FDG uptake in the pulmonary nodule and bilateral hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes. Her serum angiotensin-converting enzyme level was normal and a @entity4035 skin test was negative. Because the transbronchial biopsy specimens were not diagnostic, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery was performed. The pathologic diagnosis of the resected lung and lymph node was @entity370 . There was no sign of other organ involvement. The symptoms remitted without @entity134 therapy and one year after surgery she continues to do well and has no evidence of recurrence.
