Abstract
|
|
|
Thymolipoma, first described in 1916 by Lange, is the benign encapsulated tumor
containing intermixed thymic and fatty tissue. It is rare anterior mediastinal tumor
reportedly 2% to 9% of all the thymic tumors. There were some descriptions in
association with Grave's disease, aplastic anemia, myasthenia gratis and Hodgkin's
disease. The major symptoms they produce, if any, are the results of pressure on
surrounding structures.
Recently, we experienced a 42-year-old woman with symptoms such as chest pain,
productive cough and dyspnea diagnosed as thymolipoma. And herein we report this
case with review of literatures.
