Thymoma is a rare epithelial tumor of the thymus, but the most common malignancy in the anterior mediastinum. A unique feature is its association with paraneoplastic syndromes, in particular myasthenia gravis. According to the WHO classification 6 histologic types of thymic epithelial tumors can be discriminated. Tumor stage according to MASAOKA is the

Thymomas and thymic carcinomas are thymic epithelial tumors that constitute approximately 15% of all mediastinal masses. From 28 to 66% of thymomas cause chest symptoms as the initial manifestation; the rest are discovered on routine chest roentgenograms or during investigations prompted by the presence of a paraneoplastic syndrome.

Thymomas are the most common mediastinal tumors, usually diagnosed initially by CT. CT scanning can aid in characterization of thymoma and can successfully distinguish thymomas from other benign mediastinal tumors and from lymphoma. However, many of the primary mediastinal masses demonstrate overlap between imaging features and frequently resection is ...

Pathology & Oncology Research, 2005
Thymic cysts are rare lesions located along the anatomical course of the third pharyngeal pouch. While most of the cases represent congenital cysts, they may also be related to neoplasms. We report a case of a micronodular thymoma with lymphoid stroma, which was completely built of small cysts, discuss the pathologic features of this tumor type and ...

Critical Reviews in Oncology/Hematology, 2008
Thymoma is a rare neoplasm usually with an indolent growth pattern, however, local invasion and/or metastases may occur. The association with several paraneoplastic syndromes, especially myasthenia gravis, is noteworthy. Surgery has been the standard of care for early stage disease with high cure rates anticipated. The most important prognostic factors

Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1984
The natural history of slow, localized progression usually seen with thymomas seems to be transformed by pregnancy into one of rapid growth and distant metastatic spread. Five of the six previously reported cases had died of the malignancy within 6 months postpartum. The one previous long-term survivor died of treatment-induced complications.

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 2001
Although thymoma is an uncommon tumor, it represents the most frequently encountered tumor of the anterior mediastinum. These tumors represent an interesting and even peculiar group of lesions by virtue of their association with paraneoplastic disorders, their relatively indolent course, and their predisposition for local recurrence.

A case of a thymic neoplasm with a prominent rhabdomyomatous component is presented. The patient, a 21-year-old asymptomatic man, had an anterior mediastinal mass found on routine chest radiographs. Surgical resection of an encapsulated anterior mediastinal mass was performed.
