Huge Intrathoracic Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor in an Adolescent with Neurofibromatosis Type 1
Figure 1
The patient’s chest radiography shows a large thoracic mass with total collapse of right lung (a). Her chest CT scan (b) and spine MR imaging (c) also show a large intrathoracic hyperdense mass (white arrows) in the right chest, resulting in prominent scoliosis and cardiac deviation. Her 18F-FDG PET/CT scan showed highly increased FDG uptake () in this mass, suggesting highly malignant tumor (d).
