ABSTRACT 18F-FDG PET/CT performed for staging of colon cancer in a 60-year-old woman revealed a thymic neoplasm with increased radiopharmaceutical uptake in the anterior mediastinum. 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT showed low FAPI uptake in the anterior mediastinal mass. The patient was diagnosed with type B3 thymoma by histopathologic evaluation. In this case, thymoma demonstrated lower uptake with FAPI than FDG. Larger studies are required for the differentiation of malignant and benign mediastinal masses with FAPI.
