Although the presence of a mucinous component in the majority of the tumor was shown by magnetic resonance imaging, the presence of cancer cells was suspected by contrast enhancement on computed tomography (CT) and based on the partial accumulation in the marginal regions of the tumor on fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET). A transbronchial lung biopsy was non-diagnostic, but resection
