Abstract Introduction We report the case of a patient with positive findings on a lung emission tomography computed tomography PET CT scan with possible contra lateral mediastinal involvement which strongly suggested an inoperable lung carcinoma. The lung mass proved to be a cryptogenic organising pneumonia. While the latter has previously been shown to be PET CT positive mediastinal involvement simulating malignant spread has not been previously reported. .
