Imaging findings
Subtle abnormality on frontal chest radiograph, more obvious on the lateral view as an opacity. Coronal CT reveals a sizable, non-small cancer, which was difficult to perceive on radiographs due to its location and projection.
Key takeaways
Conventional chest radiography can miss sizable lung cancers, particularly when they are in "hidden" locations or project ambiguously. Careful review of both frontal and lateral views and a high index of suspicion are critical for detecting subtle findings.
