A 66-year-old male presented with fatigue, weakness, haemoptysis and severe dyspnoea for two weeks. On physical examination, heart rate was 80 beats/min, blood pressure was 110/80 mmHg and bilateral crepitant rales up to the mid zone of the lungs. Surface ECG showed sinus rhythm.

Thoracic computed tomography demonstrated a mass with a diameter of 52x36 mm in the
