Figure 2

A 76-year-old woman presenting with a heterogeneous mass in the superior lobe of the right lung. (A) Fusion of axial fat-saturated T1-weighted and diffusion-weighted sequences. Only the central-posterior portion (arrow) of the mass showed high signal intensity on the diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequence, suggesting that the rest of the mass may be composed of atelectasis, consolidation, or necrosis. (B) Computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy was directed to this area, and histopathological examination yielded a diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma.
