  • Title: Thymic epithelial tumours: histopathological classification and differential diagnosis.
    Author: von der Thüsen J.
    Journal: Histopathology; 2024 Jan; 84(1):196-215. PubMed ID: 37994555.
    Abstract:
    The epithelial and lymphoid compartments of the thymus can give rise to a wide variety of tumours, including thymomas, thymic carcinomas, lymphoreticular proliferations, germ cell tumours, and sarcomas. While some of these have close similarity to their counterparts in other organs, both in terms of histology and immunohistochemistry, as well as molecular features, others are unique to the thymus. The epithelial tumours, which can develop in the thymus, will be discussed in this review, with a particular emphasis on resolving differential diagnosis by means of morphology, immunohistochemical profiles, and molecular diagnostics.
