Mediastenal Thymoma in a Young Female Diagnosed on FNAC: A Rare Case Report
نویسنده
چکیده
Thymoma is a rare tumor derived from thymus epithelial cells and occurs mostly in patients between 40 and 60 years old with slight male predominance. Thymomas account for less than 1% of the human neoplasms. They are rare in children and young adults [1]. Fine needle aspiration cytology of thymic epithelial neoplasms remains an underutilized method of sampling mediastinal masses. A cytologic diagnosis of thymoma is extremely challenging because the tumour is uncommon and aspirates are infrequently encountered. Moreover, a proper sampling with the help of a technically proficient interventional radiologist is needed for correct diagnosis. With this case report, we want to emphasize the importance of the fine needle aspiration cytology in the diagnosis of this rare neoplasm.
