Abstract

Massive thymic hyperplasia (weight, greater than 100 gm) is a rare lesion in adolescents, and most of the anterior mediastinal masses are true neoplasms. We present a case of massive thymic hyperplasia, in which a 680-gm thymus was resected from a 15-year-old boy. We also present the computed tomographic scan appearance of this lesion, which differed from that previously described, and correlate the histological and radiological findings.

摘要

巨大胸腺增生（重量超过100克）在青少年中是一种罕见病变，并且大多数前纵隔肿块是真性肿瘤。我们报告一例巨大胸腺增生病例，从一名15岁男孩身上切除了重达680克的胸腺。我们还展示了该病变的计算机断层扫描表现，其与先前描述的不同，并将组织学和放射学结果进行了关联。
