A 35-year-old woman presented with symptoms of pulmonary embolism and thyrotoxicosis. Computed tomography of the chest ruled out pulmonary embolism but showed an incidental mediastinal mass. Graves' disease was confirmed and the mediastinal mass was ascribed to associating thymic hyperplasia. Treatment of Graves' thyrotoxicosis resulted in a spontaneous shrinkage of the mediastinal mass. Although it is relatively unknown, thymic hyperplasia is a normal and reversible manifestation of Graves' disease.
一名35岁女性出现肺栓塞和甲状腺毒症症状。胸部计算机断层扫描排除了肺栓塞，但发现了一个偶然的纵隔肿块。Graves病得到确诊，纵隔肿块被归因于合并胸腺增生。Graves甲状腺毒症的治疗导致纵隔肿块自发缩小。虽然相对不为人知，但胸腺增生是Graves病的一种正常且可逆的表现。
