Abstract

Objective: Collating the characteristic figures of thymoma with stage and type. Subject and method: 46 patients with thymoma underwent surgery at 103 Military Hospital from Mar. 2017 to Feb. 2019. Comparision characteristic figures of thymoma with type and stage by Chi square test and Fisher exact test. Result: Round, smooth, non-invasive signs were significantly different between benign and malignant groups. Lobulated, necrosis, cyst, calcification, invasive signs and the length of tumor were significantly different between invasive and non-invasive groups. Conclusion: Computed tomography image is helpful to predict the malignancy of thymoma.
