Sixteen consecutive patients with myasthenia gravis were examined by computed tomography (CT) before thymectomy. Surgical and histologic findings were compared with those obtained at CT. The results, like those of most other recent studies, indicate that CT is a reliable method for identifying thymoma. In all three patients with thymoma, and in five out of eight patients with hyperplasia, the lesion was observed at CT, giving an overall accuracy of 80 per cent. Although thymic hyperplasia is a basically histologic diagnosis an enlarged gland may give a correct diagnosis of this abnormality.
对16例连续性重症肌无力患者在胸腺切除术前进行了计算机断层扫描（CT）检查。将手术和组织学检查结果与CT检查结果进行了比较。结果与最近大多数其他研究的结果一样，表明CT是识别胸腺瘤的可靠方法。在所有3例胸腺瘤患者以及8例增生患者中的5例中，CT观察到了病变，总体准确率为80%。虽然胸腺增生基本上是一种组织学诊断，但腺体增大可能会对这种异常情况做出正确诊断。
