Fig. 8.6

Multiple ground-glass lesions (multifocal adenocarcinoma). (a) Unenhanced axial CT of a 58-year-old woman with multifocal lung adenocarcinoma demonstrates several ground-glass nodules in the right lung, the largest of which measures 1.6 cm. (b) Unenhanced axial CT of a 64-year-old woman with multifocal lung adenocarcinoma shows numerous ground-glass nodules bilaterally, the largest of which measures 4.5 cm. In the setting of multiple ground-glass lesions, the IASLC recommends the utilization of the dominant lesion for T descriptor purposes. In the first case, the nodule is classified as a T1b lesion, and the overall descriptor can be listed as either T1b (# of lesions) or T1b (m). In the second case, the nodule is classified as a T2b lesion, and the overall descriptor can be listed as either T2b (# of lesions) or T2b (m)
