Abstract
- Thymomas are the most common form of primary tumor in the anterior mediastinum. However, the occurrence of thymomas in the middle mediastinum is rare. To the best of our knowledge, no cases have been reported in young patients. Here, we report the CT and MRI findings of a middle mediastinal thymoma case in a 21-year-old woman.
