case_images: Thoracic (top) and pelvic (middle) transaxial images and whole-body PET/CT (bottom) illustrating the morphometabolic evolution. From left to right on each image: PET/CT 11/26/2020: baseline; PET/CT 04/16/2020: partial response; PET/CT 06/18/2020: maintenance of partial response with very discrete bone progression; PET/CT 08/23/2020: left pleural, soft tissues and bone morphometabolic progression. Blue arrows: soft tissue involvement; greens arrows: pleura involvement; red arrows: bone involvement.

case_images: Unfortunately, the PET/CT performed at this time showed a dissociated response with a multimetastatic progression (on the left pleura, right adrenal gland, retroperitoneum, and various bone sites) despite the stability of the antero-superior mediastinal mass ( Figure 2 ).
