Thymoma with Histological Heterogeneity- A Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 11
Abstract
Thymomas are tumours of thymic epithelial cells, and typically have a background of immature T-cells (thymocytes). An elderly female came with progressive drooping of both eyelids and difficulty in breathing. She was diagnosed as having Myasthenia gravis. A CT-thorax was done which revealed a thymoma. On histological examination it revealed mixed histological features of Type B2 and Type B3 thymomas which are relatively rare and have a poor prognosis after extended thymectomy.
