The purposes of this exhibit are to:  review computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features with the correlation of histopathological features of thymic epithelial tumors illustrate the differential diagnosis of anterior mediastinal lesions show the imaging evaluation points to be considered before the treatment of thymic epithelial tumors  

World Health Organization histopathological classification of thymic epithelial tumors CT and MR imaging features of thymic epithelial tumors (including thymomas [types A, AB, B1, B2, and B3], squamous cell carcinomas, mucoepidermoid carcinomas, basaloid carcinomas, lymphoepithelioma-like carcinomas, carcinoid and neuroendocrine carcinomas, undifferentiated carcinomas, thymoma and thymic carcinomas arising in multilocular thymic cysts, etc.) with histopathological correlation Differential diagnosis of other anterior mediastinal lesions (including thymic hyperplasia, thymolipoma, malignant lymphomas, germ cell tumors, intrathoracic goiter, etc.) Imaging evaluation points to consider before the treatment of thymic epithelial tumors (including Masaoka classification, TNM classification, extracapsular invasion, dissemination, metastasis, and more)
