Postoperative radiotherapy for thymus salivary gland carcinoma: A case report

Figure 1 Preoperative chest computed tomography scan (tumor site was indicated by orange arrow) and postoperative computed tomography scan over time. A: Computed tomography (CT) scan image shows thymus mass before surgery; B-F: CT scan images show anterior mediastina region after surgery.

Figure 2 Postoperative HE stained histopathological images at 4 × magnification in the first row and 10 × magnification in the second row. A and C: Mass HE stained microstructure at 4 × magnification; B and D: Mass HE stained microstructure at 10 × magnification.

Figure 3 A three-dimensional dose distribution map of the patient's local intensity-modulated radiotherapy (the blue line represents the delineated target area, the dark red area was the dose range of 50. 4 Gy, and the bright red area was the dose range of 47.88 Gy). A: Radiation dose distribution in the transverse position; B: Radiation dose distribution in the sagittal position; and C: Radiation dose distribution in the coronal position.

Figure 4 A positron emission tomography-computed tomography image of the patient's chest 12 mo after surgery. A1-A8: The glucose metabolism map of each layer of the anterior mediastinum; B1-B8: The ordinary computed tomography image of each layer of the anterior mediastinum; C1-C8: Displayed as the picture after the combination of group A pictures and group B pictures.
