Overview

Computed Tomography is the radiologic modality of choice to diagnose and evaluate thymoma, near of half the patients were asymptomatic and get thymoma diagnosed during a routine chest x-ray.

Chest X Ray

Chest x-ray: An x-ray test is a basic test for thymoma. It may go through the chest and make a picture of areas inside the body.

Features of X-ray

Oval to rounded, well demarctated 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.

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.

Lateral CXR, Invasive thymoma with pleural metastasis.

AP CXR, demonstrates a soft tissue density projecting to the left of the mediastinum, thymoma.

AP CXR, Invasive thymoma with pleural metastasis.

AP CXR, Partially delineated mediastinal mass (anterior mediastinum) with regular borders, bulging the left upper mediastinal contour.

Lateral CXR, Partially delineated mediastinal mass (anterior mediastinum) with regular borders, bulging the left upper mediastinal contour.
