[Radiological examination and diagnosis of thymus in myasthenia gravis (report of 61 cases)].

Chest radiological plane films and traditional tomographic and CT scans of the mediastinum were correlated with pathological findings of the thymus following thymectomy in 61 cases with myasthenia gravis. The authors suggest that since it is difficult to differentiate the normal thymus or thymic hyperplasia from thymoma, thymoma can be more easily diagnosed in older than in younger patients.
