Zusammenfassung
Aus Gründen der Tumortopographie (vorderes Mediastinum) spielen in der Differentialdiagnose primärer Thymustumoren neben malignen Lymphomen vor allem Keimzelltumoren (Teratome), Metastasen und tumorähnliche Läsionen eine Rolle (Tabelle 51). Die im Einzelfall problematische topographische Zuordnung maligner Lymphome zu thymogenen und/oder mediastinalen Lymphomen wurde bereits auf S. 230 diskutiert. Metastasen können sich aus praktisch allen Organregionen im Mediastinum entwickeln. Im folgenden soll lediglich auf die Keimzelltumoren/Teratome, auf die solitären fibrösen Pleuratumoren, auf die angiofollikuläre Lymphknotenhyperplasie und auf die fibrosierende Mediastinitis eingegangen werden.
