The patient had equivocal breast lesions in her bilateral breasts. She entered a clinical 18F-FLT PET trial in our hospital to differentiate malignant breast tumors from benign ones. No 18F FLT-avid lesions in her breasts were revealed. But an intense 18F-FLT uptake lesion was noted in her right anterior mediastinum. However, an F-FDG PET scan showed only mild F-FDG uptake in the lesion. Video-assisted thoracic surgery thymectomy was subsequently performed, and the final pathology showed invasive thymoma.[SDGs]SDG32',3' dideoxynucleoside derivative; 3' fluorothymidine; diagnostic agent; article; cancer invasion; case report; female; human; metabolism; middle aged; pathology; positron emission tomography; scintiscanning; thymoma; transport at the cellular level; Biological Transport; Dideoxynucleosides; Female; Humans; Middle Aged; Neoplasm Invasiveness; Positron-Emission Tomography; Thymoma; Thymus Neoplasmsjournal article10.1097/rlu.0b013e31824c77b3229604122-s2.0-85028095227https://scholars.lib.ntu.edu.tw/handle/123456789/514477
