Fig 1 An 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography scan illustrates a well-defined focal, intensely hypermetabolic area in the subcarina (level 7) (black arrow) in a patient with lung cancer. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration confirmed malignant involvement.

Fig 2 An echoendoscope placed in the mid esophagus allows imaging of a 19 × 11-mm lymph node in the subcarina. The circle at the 12 o'clock position in the image is the ultrasound transducer. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle-aspiration confirmed malignant involvement. (PA = pulmonary artery; LA = left atrium.) (Olympus UC-30 P scanning at 5 MHz, Olympus America, Melville, NY.)
