Enlarged paratracheal metastasis (4R; SUVmax 1.5; SUVmax liver 2.4) in patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the right lung. FDG PET/CT resulted to be negative with SUV value lower than the liver SUV value. Invasive mediastinal staging should be carried out in central tumors and solid T2 tumors even if the FDG PET/CT scan does not suggest mediastinal node involvement because the risk of occult nodal involvement is relatively high.
