  • Title: Thymohemangiolipoma, a rare histologic variant of thymolipoma: a case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Ogino S, Franks TJ, Deubner H, Koss MN.
    Journal: Ann Diagn Pathol; 2000 Aug; 4(4):236-9. PubMed ID: 10982301.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of a thymic neoplasm in an 18-year-old woman who presented with chest discomfort and an anterior mediastinal mass. The surgically resected tumor showed abundant adipose tissue admixed with thymic tissue and numerous medium-caliber blood vessels. We consider this tumor a rare variant of thymolipoma and designate it as thymohemangiolipoma. Because of its benign nature, it should be distinguished from other mediastinal lesions.
