A Clinicopathological Study of Thymomas in Singapore
Chapter
Abstract
The aims of this study are two-fold. Firstly, to study the clinicopathological features of thymic epithelial tumours accessioned in the Department of Pathology of the Singapore General Hospital over a five-year period of 1988–1992, and secondly to assess the predictive utility of the Muller-Hermelink system of classification of thymic epithelial tumours.
