Huge mediastinal masses in infants are often difficult to diagnose, and thymic enlargement must be considered in each instance, especially when the mass is located anteriorly. In the patient reported on here, the mass occupied approximately 60% of the chest cavity, and surgical intervention was required to establish the precise histological diagnosis. This proved to be massive hyperplastic thymus.
婴儿的巨大纵隔肿块通常难以诊断，每例都必须考虑胸腺肿大，尤其是当肿块位于前方时。在本文报道的患者中，肿块占据了胸腔约60%的空间，需要进行手术干预以确定精确的组织学诊断。结果证明是巨大增生性胸腺。
