Fig. 6. — An 89-year-old man with squamous cell carcinoma of the right upper lobe (RUL; S3), cT2aN0M0, Stage IB. Examination of a chest X-ray film revealed an abnormal irregular shadow (black arrow) in the RUL (a). He underwent stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) of 50 Gy in five fractions over 5 days in June 2009 (b). He did not develop radiation-induced pneumonitis (RIP) in the first 12 months following SBRT (c). He continued to show prolonged minimal RIP (pmRIP) over the 25 months following SBRT (d). He suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis 28 months after SBRT (e), and died of this condition 39 months later (f).
