摘要：
A 52-year-old man presented with chest distress and low back pain for 1 month. CT examination displayed a thymic tumor with the metastases to bilateral lungs as well as mediastinal and bilateral hilar lymph nodes. To evaluate the involved extent of the disease, F-18-FDG PET/CT scan was carried out, which showed that in addition to the thymic mass, multiple foci of abnormally increased FDG activity in the bilateral lungs, neck and chest lymph nodes, and bones were observed. Finally, the biopsy of the mass confirmed the diagnosis of thymic small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma.
