disease&#46; In adults&#44; thymoma is a common neoplasm of the anterior mediastinal compartment and occurs between 40 and 60 years of age with a slightly male predominance&#46; Chest discomfort or pain is the most common symptom&#46;</p><p id="para80" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">However&#44; our patient also presented episodic flushing&#44; diaphoresis&#44; and diarrhea&#44; which are common symptoms for carcinoid syndrome&#46; Together with the anterior mediastinal enlargement&#44; carcinoid syndrome that had resulted from a neuroendocrine tumor was initially suspected&#46; Primary neuroendocrine tumors of the thymus account for less than 5&#37; of all anterior mediastinal neoplasms&#46; They are highly aggressive and more prevalent in men during the fourth and fifth decades of life&#46; The symptoms are related to structure compression&#44; distant metastasis&#44; or endocrinopathies&#44; including carcinoid syndrome&#46; A CT-scan usually shows a lobulated thymic mass with heterogeneous enhancement and central areas of low attenuation&#44; before necrosis and hemorrhage&#44; and eventually calcifications&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib1">1</a> The presence of normal 24-hour urinary vanillylmandelic acid and metanephrine levels ruled out the possibility of neuroendocrine tumors&#46; Normal testing physical examination and undetectable alpha-fetoprotein and beta human chorionic gonadotropin levels also ruled out the possibility of nonseminomatous germ-cell tumors&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib1">1</a></p><p id="para90" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Combining the hormonal thyroid abnormalities with the thoracic CT characteristics&#44; thymic hyperplasia due to Grave&#347; disease was diagnosed&#46; Thymic hyperplasia is commonly associated with Graves&#39; disease&#44; but it is not emphasized in major endocrinology texts and must be recognized by all physicians&#46;</p><p id="para100" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">There are two morphologic forms of thymus hyperplasia associated with Graves&#39; disease&#58; lymphoid hyperplasia and true hyperplasia&#46; The first is characterized by a thymus medullary lymphoid-follicle formation that is not visualized as an enlargement of the anterior mediastinal compartment&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib2">2</a> In contrast&#44; the second form&#44; true hyperplasia&#44; presents as an increase in thymic tissue&#46; The mechanism of both hyperplasias is not well established and could be caused by excessive stimulation by the thyroid hormone or TRab itself&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib3">3&#44;4</a></p><p id="para110" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Few cases of detectable massive enlargements of the thymus have been reported&#59;
