We describe a patient with metastatic testicular carcinoma in whom an anterior mediastinal mass developed 8 months after complete remission following chemotherapy and surgery. The mass was excised and pathological examination showed benign thymic hyperplasia. An anterior mediastinal mass encountered after successful chemotherapy does not always imply recurrence or relapse of malignant disease. The possibility of a benign etiology must be considered to prevent inappropriate treatment.
我们描述了一名转移性睾丸癌患者，该患者在化疗和手术后完全缓解8个月后出现前纵隔肿块。该肿块被切除，病理检查显示为良性胸腺增生。化疗成功后出现的前纵隔肿块并不总是意味着恶性疾病的复发。必须考虑良性病因的可能性，以避免不适当的治疗。
