Tracheal Lymphoepithelioma-Like Carcinoma on FDG PET/CT

摘要

Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) in the trachea is an extremely rare disease. We present a case of a 64-year-old man with FDG-avid tracheal LELC on F-18-FDG PET/CT. Despite its rarity, LELC in the trachea should be considered as one of the possibilities in patients with a hypermetabolic mass in the trachea. If LELC in the trachea is suspected, F-18-FDG PET/CT is a useful tool for initial staging.
