Figure 1 A, Soft tissue mass about 2.5 × 2 cm is seen in prevascular space on computed tomography. B, No definite mediastinal tumor is demonstrated on computed tomography.

Figure 2 Tumor is characterized by large, coarse lobules of tumor with delicate septa, resembling lobular architecture of thymus cortex. Neoplastic tumor cells with polygonal nuclei are intermixed with lymphocytes (hematoxylin and eosin stain; original magnification ×200). Histologic analysis was consistent with type B2 thymoma.
