Abstract

Thymomas are exceedingly rare tumours of the anterior mediastinum in children. An early awareness helps timely surgical intervention. Thymomas can occasionally be extremely aggressive. The loss of contour on chest X-Ray, to be confirmed as a large anterior mediastinal mass at computerised tomography, serves identification of a typical bilobed thymic tumour.<br />Competing Interests: Compliance with Ethical StandardsThe authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.
