Figure 3 18F-Fluorodeoxiglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography of a thymic carcinoma.
A 34-year-old with chest pain, found to have infiltrative mass on pulmonary embolism protocol. Pathology revealed a thymic carcinoma. A and B: Contrast-enhanced computed tomography and fused 18F-Fluorodeoxiglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography showed an 18F-Fluorodeoxiglucose avid anterior mediastinal mass infiltrating thoracic vascular vessels; C: Concentric increased 18F-Fluorodeoxiglucose activity in the left pleura was proven to represent metastatic disease (white arrows). 18F-FDG-PET/CT: 18F-Fluorodeoxiglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography; 18FDG-PET: 18F-Fluorodeoxiglucose positron emission tomography; CE-CT: Contrast-enhanced computed tomography.
