A 62 years old man referred to our clinic due to suspicion of thymic mass. Hypermetabolic nodular lesion in the right lung upper lobe was seen in FDG-PET/CT in addition to the mass in the anterior mediastinum which was found to without malignancy. Patient underwent wedge resection and final diagnosis was pulmonary giant cell carcinoma. In follow-up FDG-PET/CT multiple lesions with pathological activity were observed in cerebrum, right postauricular region, bilateral adrenal, stomach, pancreas, pelvic soft tissue, mesenteric, left femur and bilateral lung parenchyma 6 months after. The pathology results of the right frontal, pelvic mass and the postauricular region were metastasis.
