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 germ cell tumors, lymphoma and thyroid tumors and metastatic carcinoma to mediastinal lymph nodes.

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.
