Overview
Most available evidence regarding risk factors for thymoma derives from descriptive epidemiologic studies of thymoma and associated malignancies. Unfortunately, no available data concerning the role of occupation, environmental exposures, or diet and nutrition.[1]
Risk Factors
There are no environmental risk factors for this neoplasm although several case reports have descriped an association between human foamy virus, Epstein-Barr virus, human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 infections and thymoma.[1]
