We report three recently resected cases of thymolipoma. Two cases (case 2 and 3) were female and the other (case 1) was male. The age of these three were 41 years, 63 years, and 29 years, respectively. While two cases (case 1 and 2) were asymptomatic, the other (case 3) had associated myasthenia gravis. Preoperative examination in each case was performed using chest CT scan or chest MRI, or both. Only one case (case 1) was diagnosed as thymolipoma preoperatively, and this was by a chest MRI showing the mass in continuity with the thymus. The diagnosis of each lesion was confirmed histologically by their composition of lobules of mature adipose tissue with minute islands of thymic tissue consisting of epithelial cells, lymphocytes, and Hassall's bodies.
