Description
Summary:Here we report a case of Pulmonary Hyalinising Granuloma (PHG) presenting with mild to moderate FDG positive nodules in an individual with a high risk of cancer. We explore the considerations in interpreting imaging findings and assess the benefits and risks of undertaking invasive investigations such as tissue biopsy. We highlight the importance of reaching an accurate diagnosis of this benign condition on our patients and their future outlook.
