Abstract
We present a rare entity of incidentally detected microscopic thymoma in
the thymectomy specimen of a female with early onset myasthenia gravis. The
thymus was of normal size radiologically and macroscopically. Histological sections
examined show multifocal tiny thymic epithelial proliferation suggestive of
microscopic thymoma. Microscopic thymomas are rare tumours and less than 20
cases have been reported worldwide
