Abstract:
A 64-years-old woman with chronic thyroiditis was refered to our hospital because of anterior mediastinum tumors identified by chest computed tomography (CT). The lesions with increased fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) uptake was noted by CT and positron emission tomography (PET). Extended thymo-thymectomy was performed, and the tumors was completely resected. Pathologically, the tumors were diagnosed as mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue( MALT) lymphoma of the thymus. Postoperative chemotherapy was not performed and the patient has been well for 4 years without recurrence. But she has developed the symptoms of Sjögren syndrome 3 years after operation.

Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
