RESUMO
Solitary pulmonary nodules (SPN) are a diagnostic dilemma with a long list of differential diagnosis which extends to include both horizons i.e., benign as well as malignant conditions. Fortunately, there are some factors which favour benign over malignant; one such factor is presence of fat.1 We present here a case of a 40 years old male who underwent x-ray due to haemoptysis and cough which demonstrated a coin lesion; subsequently, PET-CT scan was requested for characterization of the lesion and concurrent staging which revealed mildly avid fat containing lesion in right lung diagnostic of pulmonary hamartoma.

Hodgkin lymphoma is a high grade lymphoma which is usually confined to the lymphnodes. Extranodal involvement of the Hodgkin lymphoma is uncommon but any organ can be involved.. Extramedullary haematopoiesis is the production of red cells outside the medullary cavity in response to failure of erythrogenesis in bone marrow which can occur due to many diseases with thalassaemia and myelofibrosis being most common. We present a case of a 21 year old patient who underwent PET-CT scan for the staging of Hodgkin lymphoma and revealed co-existing extramedullary haematopoiesis secondary to known thalassaemia.

Circumportal annular pancreas (CAP) also known as portal annular pancreas (PAP) is an uncommon pancreatic anatomic variant in which normal pancreatic tissue completely surrounds the portal vein and can be mistaken for mass of pancreatic head. We present here a case of a 65 years old woman who was a diagnosed case of endometrial carcinoma, underwent CT scan for further metastatic workup which revealed this rare pancreatic variant.
