A large thoracic mass and a mediastinal lymph node were excised from an infant with a peripheral blood and bone marrow lymphocytosis. The 224-mass was composed of histologically normal thymus, and the lymph node architecture was partially effaced. Hypogammaglobulinemia was detected two years after thymectomy. The enormous thumus in this case fits the classic gross pathologic definition of hyperplasia. The possibility of associated thymic hyperfunction in this case is discussed.
从一名外周血和骨髓淋巴细胞增多的婴儿身上切除了一个巨大的胸部肿物和一个纵隔淋巴结。该224肿物由组织学正常的胸腺组成，淋巴结结构部分被破坏。胸腺切除术后两年检测到低丙种球蛋白血症。本例中巨大的胸腺符合增生的经典大体病理定义。讨论了本例中相关胸腺功能亢进的可能性。
