Intrathyroid thymic carcinoma（ITTC） is a rare thyroid tumor that lacks typical clinical manifestations and imaging features, making preoperative diagnosis challenging.The primary treatment for ITTC is radical surgery; however, the effectiveness of adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy post-surgery is not well-established. This paper presents a case of ITTC , analyzing the clinical data and correlating it with the literature to explore the clinical manifestations, diagnostic approach, treatment, and prognosis of ITTC.

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare autoimmune disorder characterised by muscle weakness resulting from autoantibody-mediated disruption of the neuromuscular junction. Notably, it is also frequently associated with thymic pathology. This study explores the relationship between MG and DNA viruses in the thymus, employing targeted NGS and qPCR to analyse thymic tissue samples from both MG patients and healthy controls.

Introduction And Significance: Thymic cysts are rare, located in the middle mediastinum, and are often asymptomatic and discovered incidentally. When they are symptomatic, the symptoms are often due to the effect of the mass, and complete surgical excision is preferred to avoid the risk of complications following their persistence.
Case Presentation: We present a case of a patient who had recurrent dyspnea and was later diagnosed with a cystic formation in the middle mediastinum by radiological investigations and successfully treated through a neck incision and completely resected.

Background: Despite advances in immunosuppressive therapies, chronic rejection and immunosuppression-related complications remain significant challenges in transplantation. Developing transplantation tolerance through thymus transplantation may offer a solution. This paper details our technique for procuring and transplanting porcine vascularized thymic lobes (VTL), which can be utilized to study and research allogeneic and xenogeneic transplantation models in large animals.
