A case of thymoma with type A and micronodular thymoma with lymphoid stroma elements

Here we present a case of a 75-year-old man with an incidentally discovered anterior mediastinal mass, which on resection showed histologic features of both type A and micronodular thymoma with lymphoid stroma (MNT). MNT is a rare variant of thymoma with a characteristic appearance of distinct nodul...
