Thymoma: a clinicopathological comparative study of 25 cases

F Offner, J Vallaeys, H Roels, and M Van der Straeten

We reviewed 25 patients with thymoma for clinical symptoms at presentation, X-ray findings and outcome. The tumours of all patients were classified using 3 different pathologic classification systems and each system was evaluated for its predictive power with respect to survival. The recent classification system by Muller-Hermelink allowed to distinguish thymomas with associated systemic syndromes from those without. However, no good prediction with respect to outcome could be made by any of the 3 systems.
