Overview
The most common differential diagnosis is thymoma, which is a more common pathology of the thymus. Other mediastinal masses should be included, such as metastatic carcinoma to mediastinal lymph nodes, germ cell tumors, lymphoma and thyroid tumors.
Differential Diagnosis
Comparison between thymomas and thymic carcinoma.[1]
Besides the thymoma, it is also important to consider a primary mediastinal lymphoma, mediastinal germ cell tumor or metastasis of the mediastinum by a bronchogenic carcinoma.
