Thymic squamous cell carcinoma mimicking lymphoma on 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT
Plattenepithelkarzinom des Thymus, das ein Lymphom nachahmt, auf 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT
Introduction
68Ga-FAPI PET/CT is a useful method for tumor patients due to its low physiological uptake. Thymic squamous cell carcinoma is a rare mediastinal malignancy, which should be differentiated from other mediastinal tumors. Herein, we report the 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT findings in a 33-year-old man with thymic squamous cell carcinoma.
