| Abstract: | Thymus is a primary lymphoid organ composed of predominantly immature T cells which play a crucial role in the highly evolved immune system of human beings. It helps in adaptive immune responses in early life, though it undergoes gradual involution and decreases in size post puberty. Thymomas are rare neoplasms that occur in the anterior superior mediastinum in adult life. Some patients with the neuromuscular disorder such as myasthenia gravis are known to develop thymoma over a period of time. There are no known aetiological factors for occurrence of thymoma in human beings. Due to the close proximity of thymus with other vital structures in the anterior mediastinum, thymectomy is a procedure associated with multiple risks revolving around surgical exploration of thymic lesions. Presented here is a case of a 70-year-old woman who presented with a large mass in the left-side of the neck since two months; she also had history of being treated for myasthenia gravis for two years. Core biopsy was performed followed by surgical excision of the lesion which was sent for histopathological examination to the Department of Pathology of a tertiary care hospital, in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. |
