[Thymolipomas simulating cardiomegaly]. 1982

R Zarate, and J C Hoeffel, and J C Kurdziel, and S Becker, and J C Westphal, and C Pernot

With reference to three personal observations, the authors discuss the problems raised by the diagnosis of thymolipomas, which are benign asymptomatic tumors discovered on a plain chest film and simulating cardiomegaly. On careful analysis of a high voltage plain chest film, the pulmonary vasculature can be detected through the cardiomediastinal opacity. Total body scan is also useful for establishing diagnosis before surgery.
