| Abstract |
Computed tomography detected an enlarged thymus in a 27-year-old man with myasthenia gravis of recent onset. Pathological examination of the thymus revealed lymphoid hyperplasia and a thymic seminoma (or germinoma), which was arising as an intramural nodule in a thymic cyst. This is the first reported association of thymic seminoma, lymphoid hyperplasia, and myasthenia gravis. |
