Imaging Results• Well defined lobulated pulmonary mass with

irregular margin with eccentric calcifications at the superior basal segment of the left lower lobe

• <1cm pulmonary nodule at the posterior basal segment of the right lower lobe

• With either linear fibrosis or subsegmental atelectasis at the anterobasal segment of the left lower lobe

• Pleural thickening, left lung• Thoracic spondylosis• No liver metastasis
