Thirty-six of 119 patients with myasthenia gravis examined by computed tomography for possible thymic mass had a thymectomy. The computed tomographic findings were compared to the findings of chest x-ray and linear tomography and then correlated with the surgical histopathologic results. Computed tomography detected all cases of thymoma or thymic enlargement due to hyperplasia. Chest x-ray correctly demonstrated 50% of thymomas present while linear tomography demonstrated 88%. Computed tomography was not able to distinguish between enlargement due to thymoma or hyperplasia unless calcification was present. The role of computed tomography is detailed and discussed in relationship to the other diagnostic modalities.
