We describe a rare case of a primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) originating in the lung of a 28-year-old woman. A lung mass was detected incidentally on a chest radiograph taken before a Caesarian delivery. The chest P-A view showed a well-defined, lobulated mass in the right lower lobe with a small pleural effusion on the right. A thoracic CT with contrast enhancement showed a lobulated, heterogeneous, enhanced mass of approximately 9.2 x 8.4 x 6.3 cm with inner amorphous calcifications in the right lower lobe and a small right pleural effusion. A right lower lobectomy was performed 1 month after delivery. The pathology report was a primary pulmonary PNET with focal visceral pleural involvement.

Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of a robotic device used clinically in soft tissues (abdomen and lung), modified in design and workflow, to perform needle insertion in percutaneous bone procedures.
Methods: The primary objective was safety (severe complications) of robotic-assisted insertion in this new application. Secondary objectives were feasibility (placement technical success), performance (acceptable insertions rate), accuracy (lateral deviation), number of intermediate CT-scans and tolerance (minor/moderate complications).

Primary pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma is extremely rare. We present the 18F-FDG and 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT findings in a 56-year-old woman with pathologically confirmed primary pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT showed a higher uptake value than 18F-FDG PET/CT in the pulmonary lesion.

Introduction And Importance: Thymoma is the most common primary anterior mediastinal tumor in adults. Invasive thymomas infiltrate organs adjacent to the mediastinal pleura, including the lungs, great vessels, heart, pericardium, and diaphragm. Complete resection of invasive thymoma leads to a better prognosis.
