Abstract

Forthynine year old female patient admitted to hospital with complains of recurrent productive cough and dyspnea. On chest X-ray linear, reticular and nodular infiltrations were found. Thorax computed tomography revealed a mass lesion sized 6x4 cm at the right prevascular, retrosternal region with diffuse reticulonodular pattern and peribronchial thickening, bronchiectasis. At open lung biopsy; mixed type thymoma (capsule invasion) and acute bronchiolitis, bronchop-neumonia were found. Hypogammaglobulinemia was also found on examination. She was diagnosed as Good's syndrome and thymoma.

Özet

Kırkdokuz yaşında kadın hasta, dört aydır sık tekrarlayan öksürük, balgam, nefes darlığı yakınmalarıyla ve göğüs radyografisinde lineer, retiküler, nodüler gölge koyuluğu artışı bulgularıyla yatırıldı. Toraks bilgisayarlı tomografisinde prevasküler sağ retrosternal alanda 6 x 4 cm boyutlarında yumuşak doku kitlesi ve yaygın retikülonodüler patern ile peri-bronşiyal kalınlaşmalar, bronşektazik alanlar izlendi. Açık akciğer biyopsisinde mikst tip timoma (kapsül invazyonu) ve akut bronşiyolit, bronkopnömoni saptandı. Yapılan tetkiklerinde hipogamaglobulinemi tespit edildi. Olgu timoma ve buna bağlı Good sendromu tanısı aldı.
