A Rare Giant Pleural Thymoma in Posterior Mediastinum. [PDF]

, 2012
Thymoma is an epithelial neoplasm of the thymus, which commonly lies in the anterior mediastinum. Unusually, thymomas can also be found in other locations. Surgical excision, when feasible, appears to provide good results. We encountered a rare case of a

Somatostatin receptor subtypes in human thymoma and inhibition of cell proliferation by octreotide in vitro [PDF]

, 2000
Somatostatin (SS) and SS receptor (SSR) subtypes, code-named sst1-5, are heterogeneously expressed in the normal human thymus. This suggests their involvement in controlling the immune and/or neuroendocrine functions in this organ ...

Genome-wide genetic aberrations of thymoma using cDNA microarray based comparative genomic hybridization

BMC Genomics, 2007
Background Thymoma is a heterogeneous group of tumors in biology and clinical behavior. Even though thymoma is divided into five subgroups following the World Health Organization classification, the nature of the disease is mixed within the subgroups ...

Fibrous bands associated with higher Masaoka stage and poor recurrence‐free survival in patients with thymoma

Thoracic Cancer, 2021
Background Fibrous bands (FBs) are one of the histological features in tumors which can be confirmed by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)‐stained slides. FBs have been reported to correlate with malignancy in various tumors.

3D DenseNet Deep Learning Based Preoperative Computed Tomography for Detecting Myasthenia Gravis in Patients With Thymoma

Frontiers in Oncology, 2021
BackgroundMyasthenia gravis (MG) is the most common paraneoplastic syndromes of thymoma and closely related to thymus abnormalities. Timely detecting of the risk of MG would benefit clinical management and treatment decision for patients with thymoma ...

Evaluation of anterior mediastinal solid tumors by CT perfusion: a preliminary study

Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, 2017
PURPOSE:We aimed to assess the role of computed tomography (CT) perfusion in differentiation of thymoma from thymic hyperplasia, lymphoma, thymic carcinoma, and lung cancer invading anterior mediastinum.METHODS:In this study, 25 patients with an anterior

Thymoma with acute gastric volvulus: a case report

BMC Cancer, 2017
Background Acute gastric volvulus (GV) is a rare disease with high mortality rate often associated with anatomic abnormalities. Thymoma is the most common neoplasm located in the anterior mediastinum. There is no reported relationship between thymoma and

Thymoma-associated T-cell immunodeficiency after radiotherapy: A case report

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2021
Acquired immunodeficiency in thymoma (Good's syndrome) without hypogammaglobulinemia is a rare condition. Here we describe the case of a 29-year-old Japanese woman with thymoma-associated T cell immunodeficiency after radiation therapy.

A large microRNA cluster on chromosome 19 is a transcriptional hallmark of WHO type A and AB thymomas [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Thymomas are one of the most rarely diagnosed malignancies. To better understand its biology and to identify therapeutic targets, we performed next-generation RNA sequencing.

The role of regulatory B cell/T follicular helper cell balance in thymoma and thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis

Scientific Reports
Thymoma is often associated with myasthenia gravis (MG). Abnormal lymphocyte differentiation often occurs in the thymoma tumor microenvironment (TME), leading to thymoma-associated autoimmune diseases.
