Abstract

Among 72 thymic tumors that were examined we have found five (7.5%) thymolipomas. Two of these patients have had clinical symptoms. One, a five-year-old boy, has had an erythrocyte hypoplasia as well as a hypogammaglobulinemia. The other patient, a 56-year-old man, has had myasthenia gravis. This case is the second in the world literature in which a thymolipoma is associated with symptoms of myasthenia gravis. The clinical, radiologic, and histopathologic findings and the pathogenesis of thymolipoma are discussed.
