Abstract
Incidental thymic lesion findings have increased. An adequate characterization of these lesions in positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET-CT) is essential, since it is used as part of many oncological planning procedures. Representative cases have been selected regarding the most important aspects of thymus imaging in PET-CT and how this technique can contribute to an accurate diagnosis or treatment planning.
Specifically, we present a general description of common thymic lesions and and simulated thymic disease, with an emphasis on PET-CT findings, also incorporating examples of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
