Abstract EN
Thymic hyperplasia is usually associated with the treatment of malignant tumours and is sometimes linked with endocrine diseases.
For the first time, we report a case of thymic hyperplasia in a patient 2 years after bilateral lung transplantation.
Contrast-enhanced chest CT scan was highly suspicious for a posttransplant lymphoma or thymoma.
Therefore, the patient received total thymectomy.
Excised specimens were sent to the Department of Pathology.
Unexpectedly, the histological examination revealed hyperplastic thymic tissue without evidence for a posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder or malignancy.
