MRI

MRI of the upper chest on the right demonstrates a large mass centred in the apex of the right lung. Direct extension though the pleura and into the adjacent chest wall is seen, without obvious involvement of the brachial plexus (best demonstrated on sagittal T1).Case courtesy of A.Prof Frank Gaillard, <a href="https://radiopaedia.org/">Radiopaedia.org</a>.
