Abstract EN
We report imaging techniques in the definition of the therapeutic planning of a 65-year-old man with a diagnosis of Pancoast tumor.
Computed Tomography has a pivotal role in the assessment of nodes involvement and distant metastasis.
Magnetic Resonance allows a detailed study of locoregional extension for its high soft tissue resolution.
We particularly highlight the actual importance of Magnetic Resonance Neurography, Diffusion-Weighted Imaging, and Magnetic Resonance Angiography techniques in the assessment of the superior sulcus vascular and nervous structures involvement.
Their integrity has been showed in our patient with a complete surgical excision of the lesion.
