Thymomas are exceedingly rare tumours of the anterior mediastinum in children. An early awareness helps timely surgical intervention. Thymomas can occasionally be extremely aggressive. The loss of contour on chest X-Ray, to be confirmed as a large anterior mediastinal mass at computerised tomography, serves identification of a typical bilobed thymic tumour.
胸腺瘤是儿童前纵隔极为罕见的肿瘤。早期识别有助于及时进行手术干预。胸腺瘤偶尔可能极具侵袭性。胸部X线片上轮廓消失，经计算机断层扫描确认为前纵隔大肿块，有助于识别典型的双叶胸腺肿瘤。
