Summary A 74‐year‐old man presents with a left upper lobe lung adenocarcinoma, which demonstrated a wide base intimately with the aortic arch. We utilised 4 D CT technique with a wide field of view CT unit to preoperatively determine likely surgical resectability. We propose that 4 D CT may be of use in further investigating lung cancer with likely invasion of adjacent structures.
