  • Title: A microthymoma and no germinal centre in myasthenia gravis.
    Author: Hamaji M, Vanderlaan PA, Sugarbaker DJ, McNamee CJ.
    Journal: Eur J Cardiothorac Surg; 2013 Dec; 44(6):1146-7. PubMed ID: 23588037.
    Abstract:
    A 43-year-old woman with a 1-year history of generalized myasthenia gravis was referred for a video-assisted thorascopic surgery thymectomy. The preoperative chest computed tomography revealed mild diffuse thymic hyperplasia. Pathology of the resected thymus gland revealed a 6-mm World Health Organization (WHO) Type AB microthymoma without thymic germinal centres. The entity of microthymoma was reviewed with a focus on examining the pathological and therapeutic differences between thymic hyperplasia and microscopic thymoma.
