CTICasesRetrosternal Calcified Thymoma
Imaging findings
Lateral chest radiograph shows a retrosternal soft tissue mass with rim-like calcifications. CT chest confirms a prevascular mediastinal mass with peripheral calcification and lobulated borders, representing a thymoma.
Key takeaways
Thymomas are the most common prevascular mediastinal masses. They can contain diagnostic calcifications (often peripheral/rim-like) and are best appreciated on lateral radiographs as retrosternal densities.
