  • Title: [Thymolipomas simulating cardiomegaly].
    Author: Zarate R, Hoeffel JC, Kurdziel JC, Becker S, Westphal JC, Pernot C.
    Journal: Sem Hop; 1982 Sep 30; 58(35):1993-6. PubMed ID: 6293083.
    Abstract:
    With reference to three personal observations, the authors discuss the problems raised by the diagnosis of thymolipomas, which are benign asymptomatic tumors discovered on a plain chest film and simulating cardiomegaly. On careful analysis of a high voltage plain chest film, the pulmonary vasculature can be detected through the cardiomediastinal opacity. Total body scan is also useful for establishing diagnosis before surgery.
