Thymomas and other thymic primary malignancies of the chest

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Thymic epithelial tumor is a rare mediastinal neoplasm but is the most common primary neoplasm of the anterior mediastinum. Radiologists and clinicians must be aware of the full spectrum of this rare disease, the standard guidelines for diagnostic evaluation, and how imaging findings affect therapeutic decisions. We present the variable imaging appearance of the normal thymus, the imaging features, and current staging of thymic neoplasms with an emphasis on how imaging interpretation affects management.
