Thymolipoma of Anterior Neck- a case report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 11
Abstract
Thymolipoma is a benign tumor of thymus composed of thymic elements and adipose tissue. We herein report a 62 year female who presented with a painless neck mass. Fine Needle Aspiration study mimicked papillary carcinoma of thyroid. On surgical resection it was a yellowish mass which on histology showed abundant adipose tissue admixed with thymic tissue hassals corpuscles and numerous medium caliber blood vessels. The case was designated as thymolipoma. Though a benign tumor, we must remember that this anterior mediastinal tumor can present as a neck mass and must be ruled out before giving the provisional diagnosis.
