  • Title: Concurrent thyrolipomatosis and thymolipoma in a patient with myasthenia gravis: a case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Campion T, Maity A, Ali S, Richards P, Adams A.
    Journal: Ann R Coll Surg Engl; 2021 Jul; 103(7):e212-e215. PubMed ID: 34192501.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of a man with a background of myasthenia gravis who presented with a neck lump, which was diagnosed as thyrolipomatosis in continuity with a very large thymolipoma. Following removal of these lesions, the patient's myaesthenic symptoms improved. While thymolipomas are often seen in the context of myasthenia gravis, thyrolipomatosis is a rare entity and to our knowledge the concurrent finding of both lesions with myasthenia gravis has never been reported. We highlight the important imaging features of both entities and the clinical importance of recognising them.
