ABSTRACT
A 64-year-old woman presented to our hospital with cough and a large amount of white foam sputum, F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-FDG PET/CT) showed diffuse ground-glass opacities in both lungs, which was considered as infectious pneumonia. However, after ineffective anti-infection, the primary invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma was finally diagnosed. Pulmonary invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma is rare and special subtype of lung adenocarcinoma, it has a variety of imaging manifestations. When intense tracer uptake, air bronchial sign, honeycomb sign present in diffuse ground-glass opacities in F-FDG PET/CT, lung invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma should be highly suspected.
