Abstract
Chronic empyema-associated malignancies (CEAM) are rare complications of long-standing empyema. Many tumour types have been described as CEAM, e.g., lymphoma (the most common), squamous cell carcinoma, mesothelioma, various sarcomas, and rarely adenocarcinoma.1–4 Although the plain radiography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of CEAM have been described,1,4 the F-18 fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT imaging findings of CEAM at initial diagnosis have not been reported previously.
