A case of biopsy-proven thymic hyperplasia is described in a child with group I paratesticular rhabdosarcoma while on chemotherapy. Other cases of children with cancer reported with this phenomenon are reviewed. Tissue diagnosis is important to differentiate metastatic tumor and to rule out second malignancies in these patients. The initial evaluations are facilitated by CT scanning of the chest and upper extremity venography.
本文描述了一例在接受化疗的I组睾丸旁横纹肌肉瘤患儿中经活检证实的胸腺增生病例。同时对其他报道过这种现象的患癌儿童病例进行了回顾。组织诊断对于鉴别转移性肿瘤以及排除这些患者的第二原发恶性肿瘤很重要。胸部CT扫描和上肢静脉造影有助于进行初步评估。
