Background: Accurately distinguishing between invasive thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) and anterior mediastinal lymphoma before surgery is crucial for subsequent treatment choices. But currently, the diagnosis of invasive TET is sometimes difficult to distinguish from anterior mediastinal lymphoma.
Objective: To assess the application of fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computer tomography (PET/CT) in the differential diagnosis of TETs and anterior mediastinal lymphomas.
Background: infection remains a public health concern worldwide. The diagnosis and treatment of disseminated is very difficult, so we shared our experiences and lessons learned in this case report.
Case Presentation: A 36-year-old female with a history of epilepsy presented to our hospital with fever, upper abdominal pain, muscle soreness in limbs for 7 days, and shortness of breath for 4 days.
Objective: To investigate the characteristics of fluorine-18-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) in primary intestinal lymphoma (PIL) and its correlation with D-dimer and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH).
Methods: Fifty-two patients diagnosed with PIL from June 2016 to December 2019 were analyzed. All patients underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT.

Objective: To describe the characteristics of Dieulafoy's disease of the bronchus.
Methods: One patient with Dieulafoy's disease of bronchus was described and relevant literatures were reviewed.
Results: Bronchial Dieulafoy's disease is extremely rare, characterized by the erosion of an anomalous artery in the submucosa of bronchus.
