On the left side of the trachea a lesion traversing the wall with a soft-tissue component are seen (white arrow). However, the lesion could also represent intratracheal mucus. But during the reading of the CE-CT, it was missed. On the CE-SCT it was seen both on the virtual low monoenergetic and the Z-effective map which led to a suggestion of flexible bronchoscopy. Unfortunately, the patient was deceased by the time the CE-SCT was read and no definitive diagnoses were made
