DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-88975-5
Abstract: Despite the substantial role of chest MRI for the diagnosis and follow-up of thymic cysts, information about inter-reader agreement and optimal MR sequences is still limited. We aimed to investigate the inter-reader agreement for diagnosing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000027942
Abstract: Abstract Although differentiating benign and malignant thymic epithelial lesions is important to avoid unnecessary treatment and predict prognosis, it is challenging because of overlaps in the chest computed tomography (CT) findings. In this study, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s13019-024-03114-x
Abstract: The therapeutic approach to thymic cysts remains a subject of controversy. Predicted biomarkers for identifying thymic cysts and thymoma (THYM) are crucial. In this research, patients diagnosed with thymic cysts (MTC, n = 6) and thymoma (B1,… read more here.
