53 year old woman with thymoma. (A) CT shows the left prevascular mediastinal mass (arrow) is mostly homogenous, with low attenuation measuring 10 Hounsfield Units suggesting a cystic component, yet has a denser component of 48 Hounsfield Units along the anterior peripheral aspect suggesting some solid component. (B) PET/CT shows FDG uptake with SUVmax of 3.4 along the anterior peripheral aspect of the mass (arrow). At resection, pathology showed thymoma with cystic component and no invasion of the pericardium or lung.
