Özet

Thymic Hyperplasia is an extremely rare neoplasm of thymus which is localized in the anterior mediastinum. Generally it occurs secondary to the different diseases. Some of them occurs idiopathicly. Until today there are more than 50 cases reported and most of them are children between the ages of 1 and 17. A few cases are adults. But until today there is no reported case with the same brothers and sisters. Therefore we want to point on whether thymic hyperplasia can be hereditary or not.
