Abstract

Thymoma is a rare case presenting in the paediatric age group. Only 30 cases have been reported so far. Our case is a 14 month old female, presented with respiratory distress. CT scan showed gross widening of superior mediastinum with a homogeneous opacity. Immunohistochemistry was suggestive of thymoma. She underwent excision of the thymic mass and is well at present.
