Thymus is a primary lymphoid organ which has an important role in humoral and cellular immunity. It can be a site for various neoplasms including thymomas.
The authors report a case of a 55-year-old patient presenting with weight loss, night sweats and sensation of heat. After thorough evaluation his histopathology analysis revealed the rare presence of Hodgkin lymphoma in a background of type B2 thymoma.
Thymoma is one of the well-known thymic tumors that is encountered in clinical practice. It has diverse associations with other autoimmune diseases and malignancies. The concurrent diagnosis of thymoma with thymic Hodgkin lymphoma is extremely rare.
Although this association is very rare, it is crucial to distinguish between thymic Hodgkin lymphoma and thymoma and manage them appropriately.
胸腺是一个主要的淋巴器官，在体液免疫和细胞免疫中发挥重要作用。它可能是包括胸腺瘤在内的各种肿瘤的发生部位。
作者报告了一例55岁患者，表现为体重减轻、盗汗和发热感。经过全面评估，其组织病理学分析显示在B2型胸腺瘤背景下罕见地存在霍奇金淋巴瘤。
胸腺瘤是临床实践中常见的胸腺肿瘤之一。它与其他自身免疫性疾病和恶性肿瘤有多种关联。胸腺瘤与胸腺霍奇金淋巴瘤的同时诊断极为罕见。
尽管这种关联非常罕见，但区分胸腺霍奇金淋巴瘤和胸腺瘤并进行适当处理至关重要。
