Abstract:
Thymolipoma is an uncommon benign tumor of the thymus. Asymptomatic, it is an incidental discovery. Pathogenesis remains controversial. We report a new case in a 36-year-old woman that was discovered on a chest x-ray ordered for pneumonia. The MRI findings suggested the diagnosis which was confirmed at the pathology examination of the surgical specimen.
