Thymolipoma is one of the benign pathologies of the mediastinum that may reach large sizes over
time and even become a giant mass that fills the hemithorax. It may cause respiratory distress and even
failure, and may be accompanied by myasthenia gravis or other clinical conditions. Surgical excision of
the mass provides both diagnosis and treatment.
