A 52-year-old man was admitted to Matsudo City Hospital because of an anterior mediastinal mass. One month prior, when he suddenly suffered chest pain, computed tomography (CT) showed a 4 x 3 cm mass in the chest. On admission, the symptom disappeared. However, chest CT revealed rapid enlargement of the mass to 10 x 6 cm. Based on the CT findings, we suspected a tumor. Therefore, we performed a thymothymectomy. The mass, measuring 12 x 8 x 6 cm, contained a solid tumor and a fluid-filled cyst. Pathology showed a thymoma and a multilocular thymic cyst. We speculated that hemorrhage from the thymoma spread into the multilocular thymic cyst and enlarged the mass.
一名52岁男性因前纵隔肿物入住松户市医院。一个月前，他突然胸痛，计算机断层扫描（CT）显示胸部有一个4×3厘米的肿物。入院时，症状消失。然而，胸部CT显示肿物迅速增大至10×6厘米。根据CT检查结果，我们怀疑是肿瘤。因此，我们进行了胸腺切除术。肿物大小为12×8×6厘米，包含一个实体瘤和一个充满液体的囊肿。病理检查显示为胸腺瘤和多房性胸腺囊肿。我们推测胸腺瘤出血扩散到多房性胸腺囊肿中，导致肿物增大。
