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.

Chest X Ray Key Findings in Thymoma

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

  • Oval to rounded, well demarcated, asymmetric, homogeneous mass of soft tissue density and usually on one side of the midline.
  • Wide mediastinum.
  • displacement of heart and/or great vessels posteriorly.
AP CXR, 50 year old male, demonstrating a large right sided mediastinal mass, with patchy areas of calcification. Histologically proven to be a thymoma.[1]
Lateral view CXR, 50 year old male, demonstrating a large right sided mediastinal mass, with patchy areas of calcification. Histologically proven to be a thymoma.[1]
Lateral CXR, Invasive thymoma with pleural metastasis.
AP CXR, demonstrates a soft tissue density projecting to the left of the mediastinum, thymoma.
