Clinical characteristics and outcomes of thymoma‐associated myasthenia gravis
European Journal of Neurology, 2021Prognosis of myasthenia gravis (MG) in patients with thymoma is not well established. Moreover, it is not clear whether thymoma recurrence or unresectable lesions entail a worse prognosis of MG.

Thymomas are fascinating tumors because of their multifaceted clinical presentation, including an unrivaled frequency of associated paraneoplastic autoimmune diseases and an astounding histologic heterogeneity. Thus, thymomas challenge the clinician, pathologist, and immunologist alike with complex diagnostic and therapeutic problems in almost all ...

Publisher Summary Thymoma is an epithelial tumor generally considered to have an indolent growth pattern but malignant nonetheless because of potential for local invasion, pleural dissemination, and even systemic metastases. The diagnosis of thymoma is usually made clinically.

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.

AbstractA review of the evaluation, treatment, and end results for 52 patients with thymoma treated at The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (1950‐1984) is presented. The objective of the study was to examine the influence of a number of clinical characteristics on survival, including histologic and staging classifications, associated ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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.
