    Author: Takamori S, Hayashi A, Tayama K, Ohtsuka S, Hiraki H, Shirouzu K.
    Journal: Scand Cardiovasc J; 1997; 31(4):241-2. PubMed ID: 9291545.
    Abstract:
    In a 29-year-old woman with myasthenia gravis and no visible mediastinal mass, the resected thymus was found to contain a small thymolipoma. Relief of the neuromuscular symptoms followed thymectomy. A very small thymolipoma may be associated with myasthenia gravis even if the content of though thymic tissue is low.
