ABSTRACT
Thymic hyperplasia results from thymic regrowth after atrophy during a stressful period. Differentiation from recurrent or residual neoplasm may be an important consideration. Thymic hyperplasia is most problematic when it is observed in patients with malignant lymphoma. We report a case of thymic hyperplasia in which thymic enlargement is developed in a malignant lymphoma patient with high-dose chemotherapy and autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation and this condition is confirmed by the findings of serial chest computed tomography without chemotherpy.
