Hiperplasia tímica en una paciente con enfermedad de Graves

Benign thymic hyperplasia (TH) is a known feature of hyperthyroidism. In most cases, thymic enlargement is minimal; however, this syndrome may occasionally appear as an appreciable anterior mediastinal mass. Recognition of the benign nature of TH and its regression following treatment of the hyperthyroidism is important to prevent unnecessary surgical procedures. We present a case of TH associated with hyperthyroidism due to Graves' disease.
