Description
We report a case of thymolipoma. An asymptomatic 75-year-old woman was admitted toour hospital because of an abnormal shadow on chest X-ray. Chest CT scan demonstrated ananterior mediastinal mass, most of which was isodense with scattered areas of hypodensity. Ateratoma was suspected, and the right lobe of the thymus was performed. The tumor was 12.0×7.5×2.5cm in size. Histopathologically, it was diagnosed as thymolipoma. Thymolipomausually appears as a homogenous hypodensity mass on CT scan. In our case, the CT scan imagewas atypical, because the tumor contained much more thymic tissue than fat tissue.
