A patient with a 100-g thymolipoma and myasthenia gravis experienced marked improvement in neuromuscular symptoms following removal of the tumor. Although 60 examples of thymolipoma have been reported, we believe that this is the first example of this tumor associated with myasthenia gravis. The clinical, radiologic, and histopathologic manifestations of previously reported cases of thymolipoma are discussed in relation to our patient's case.
一名患有100克胸腺脂肪瘤并伴有重症肌无力的患者,在肿瘤切除后神经肌肉症状有显著改善。尽管已经报道了60例胸腺脂肪瘤病例,但我们认为这是首例与重症肌无力相关的该肿瘤病例。结合我们患者的病例,讨论了先前报道的胸腺脂肪瘤病例的临床、放射学和组织病理学表现。
