Thymoma and myasthenia gravis
Updates to Case Attributes
The concurrence of myasthenia gravis, eyelid ptosis, and thymoma is relatively common and mediastinum imaging is important in the evaluation of ptosis cases. The main differential diagnosis of anterior mediastinal masses is thymoma and germ cell tumors. and a non. Non-invasive thymoma was reported by the pathologist. MRI and MDCT are both practical for thymoma staging and follow-up.
