Differentiation of massive thymic hyperplasia from malignant lesions requires early resection. We report a case in which thoracoscopic thymectomy was performed for massive hyperplasia recurring 16 years after steroid therapy. This case provides additional information on the natural history, surgical management and histology of the disease.
