Insights
Massive thymic hyperplasia in infants can mimic tumors, complicating diagnosis. Imaging features of this benign condition are reviewed to aid differentiation from neoplastic lesions.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Radiology
- Thoracic Imaging
- Pathology
Background:
- Massive thymic hyperplasia presents a diagnostic challenge in neonates and infants.
- Distinguishing it from neoplastic lesions may necessitate invasive procedures like thoracotomy.
- This condition is often encountered as an anterior mediastinal mass.
Abstract:
Massive thymic hyperplasia in the neonate and young infant can be difficult to diagnose. Differentiation from neoplastic lesions may require thoracotomy for a pathologic specimen. We review a case in a 15-month-old child referred to our institution and discuss the radiographic, ultrasound, and computerized tomographic features of hyperplastic thymic tissue. We review current concepts of the hyperplastic thymus as an anterior mediastinal mass in infancy.
