Abstract

Thymolipoma is an uncommon benign tumor of the thymus. Asymptomatic, it is an incidental discovery. Pathogenesis remains controversial. We report a new case in a 36-year-old woman that was discovered on a chest x-ray ordered for pneumonia. The MRI findings suggested the diagnosis which was confirmed at the pathology examination of the surgical specimen.

摘要

胸腺瘤是一种罕见的胸腺良性肿瘤。它通常无症状，多为偶然发现。其发病机制仍存在争议。我们报告一例新病例，患者为一名36岁女性，因肺炎行胸部X线检查时偶然发现。MRI检查结果提示了诊断，手术标本的病理检查得以确诊。
