title: Inflammatory pseudotumor in the mediastinum: imaging with (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT.
abstract: Mediastinal inflammatory pseudotumor is a rare benign disease with its capability for local invasion and rapid growth. We present a case of middle-mediastinal inflammatory pseudotumor and report its contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography, (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography and pathologic findings.
