Abstract

Mediastinal tumours can be incidental findings on chest x-ray or present with systemic symptoms and/or direct effect of the mediastinal mass. We report the case of a woman with symptomatic thymoma B1 and simultaneous thymus tuberculosis. LEARNING POINTS: The association of tuberculosis (TB) of the thymus and thymoma is extremely rare.The differential diagnosis of a mediastinal mass should include TB, particularly in endemic regions.Mediastinal mass resection or biopsy can be of great value in diagnostic work-up. © EFIM 2021.
