    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Benign thymic hyperplasia (BTH) is associated with hyperthyroidism.
    • Thymic enlargement in BTH is often minimal but can present as an anterior mediastinal mass.
    • Clinicians may overlook BTH, leading to misdiagnosis and potential overtreatment.
