Low-Grade Thymoma with Osseous and Pulmonary Metastases: Role of (18)F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography–Computed Tomography in Initial Staging

Thymomas are rare anterior mediastinal tumors that originate in the epithelial cells of the thymus and have a rare propensity to metastasize to extrathoracic locations unless it is a histologic high-grade neoplasm (type B and above). We describe a case of 50-year-old woman diagnosed with type AB thy...

description Thymomas are rare anterior mediastinal tumors that originate in the epithelial cells of the thymus and have a rare propensity to metastasize to extrathoracic locations unless it is a histologic high-grade neoplasm (type B and above). We describe a case of 50-year-old woman diagnosed with type AB thymoma and the role of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography–computed tomography in accurate delineation of extrathoracic metastases during initial staging.
