Overview

On chest x-ray, thymoma is characterized by oval to rounded, well demarcated, asymmetric, homogeneous mass of soft tissue density on one side of the midline.

X Ray

Key chest x-ray findings in thymoma are:^[1]^[2]

Oval to rounded, well demarcated, asymmetric, homogeneous mass of soft tissue density and usually on one side of the midline
Widened mediastinum
Posterior displacement of heart and/or great vessels
