Figure 1
(A–C) Contrast-enhanced CT images with axial and coronal reconstructions show a slightly heterogeneous mediastinal mass with right atrial and superior vena cava invasion (arrows). (D) Axial contrast-enhanced CT image shows a heterogeneous enhancing gastric mass with exophytic and intraluminal components (arrows). (E) Axial CT image shows a single lung nodule is demonstrated within the right lower lobe (arrow).
Figure 2
Figure 2
(A, B) Testicular ultrasound with B-mode and colour Doppler shows a heterogeneous, hyporeflective lesion with peripheral vascularity (arrows). (C, D) PET/CT images show moderate FDG uptake of the mediastinal mass and mild metabolic activity of the gastric mass (arrows). (E) Axial post-gadolinium T1 MR imaging of the thorax confirms the aggressive features of the mediastinal mass with right atrial (asterisk) and superior vena cava invasion (arrow).
