A thymic mass was diagnosed by computed tomography in a young male with an anterior mediastinal mass demonstrated by chest X-ray. The association of thymic hyperplasia and thyrotoxicosis is discussed and the importance of CT in the evaluation of anterior mediastinal masses in patients with thyrotoxicosis is emphasized. Micronodular enlargement of the thymus is a common association of Graves' disease in contradistinction to the rare detection of radiologically visible thymic masses in this condition.
一名年轻男性经计算机断层扫描诊断为胸腺肿物，胸部X线显示其前纵隔有肿物。本文讨论了胸腺增生与甲状腺毒症的关联，并强调了CT在评估甲状腺毒症患者前纵隔肿物中的重要性。胸腺微小结节性增大是格雷夫斯病的常见关联表现，与此形成对比的是，在这种情况下放射学可见的胸腺肿物很少见。
