Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
In this report, we describe a case of thymic lymphoid follicular hyperplasia that was incidentally found as a small thymic nodule in the health screening program including a low-dose chest CT. The CT and MRI findings of the nodule were similar to those of thymoma, and it was difficult to differentiate the lesion from thymoma. |
