RESUMO
There are multiple reasons for an anterior mediastinal mass. In this case, we discuss possible etiologies and offer an algorithm to narrow the differential diagnosis. When the mass cannot be diagnosed radiographically, the next step in imaging is a physiologic assessment with radionuclide modalities.

RESUMO
Although the use of (13)N-ammonia and (18)F-FDG PET shows great promise as a tool for diagnosing heart involvement in inflammatory diseases, it can be equally powerful for following disease progression and treatment outcome. We describe a case in which (18)F-FDG PET was effective in following up the treatment outcome of lupus myocarditis.
