In a 29-year-old woman with myasthenia gravis and no visible mediastinal mass, the resected thymus was found to contain a small thymolipoma. Relief of the neuromuscular symptoms followed thymectomy. A very small thymolipoma may be associated with myasthenia gravis even if the content of though thymic tissue is low.
在一名29岁患有重症肌无力且无明显纵隔肿物的女性患者中,切除的胸腺被发现含有一个小的胸腺脂肪瘤。胸腺切除术后神经肌肉症状得到缓解。即使胸腺组织含量低,非常小的胸腺脂肪瘤也可能与重症肌无力有关。
